“I had high hopes for the ICEBlock app, so it’s a shame that the developer is both overly confident and doesn’t know what he’s doing” - @micahflee.com

The @iceblock.app has 1+ million users.

They’re the people on Bluesky, joining @50501movement.bsky.social and attending @teslatakedown.com rallies.

They’ve long had it out for Portland.

This is a clip from my now-infamous 2020 conversation with the Portland DA

And a link to the story I wrote after Andy Ngo seemed to take it to heart.

"In my community where I teach, there’s kids not coming to school for a month at a time because they’re scared of what can happen to them,” he said. “I’m overwhelmed with blinding anger and depression for the people who are being affected.”

Have a piece today in TEEN VOGUE from my new book POLICE AGAINST THE MOVEMENT detailing how the NYPD, LAPD, cops in Chicago and Memphis surveilled the civil rights movement—and then destroyed millions of surveillance files in the ‘70s, including ones that may have shed like on MLK’s assassination.

I never have the expectation that all Black people will line up together. My view is built around meaningful political solidarity, not just identity-based solidarity.” -- Cathy J. Cohen

I attended this webinar earlier, and wanted to share this infographic if folx need a visual to highlight how Zionism is embedded in how American newsrooms typically operate, for which I am truly grateful for the much-needed work that @prismreports.org does! 🍉 visualizingpalestine.org/visual/edite...

Chicago fights back against Trump admin’s sweeping violence, @nberlat.bsky.social reports. ICE raids & attacks against protesters have brutalized Chicago-area communities. But local organizers are committed to coming together to protect their neighbors.

“For the supply of prisoners to grow, criminal justice policies must ensure a sufficient number of incarcerated Americans regardless of whether crime is rising or the incarceration is necessary” - @sdonziger.bsky.social, ‘Are Prisons Obsolete?’

Abolitionists, like anarchists, are anti-capitalist.

Anarchism and chaos aren’t the same.

Anarchism and abolition go hand in hand.

Both with a focus on building a more humanistic society through interconnecting self-sustaining communities.

Something we need now more than ever.

“I hope that the left movement removes this pacifism, this victimization that we do where we show up at protests and just let ourselves get beat up for the optics, as opposed to actually doing tactics that might help us stop these machines” - Eric King

“Fre’Drisha Dixon can still recall the laughter that once spilled across… the now-shuttered Clyde Woodworth Elementary School in Inglewood. Just as clearly, she can conjure up the loud banging of the bulldozers that plowed through the school’s classrooms last year.”

NEW STUDY

Since I was born, 500 Black neighborhoods have vanished

And 500,000 Black people have been lost

All due to urban revitalization projects

Like the one for LA’s new coliseum — for the Clippers and ‘26 Olympics — that’s destroying Inglewood

A Call for Anti-Authoritarian Blocs at the October 18 “No Kings” Demonstrations

This is a call for you—yes, you specifically—to organize an anti-authoritarian bloc in your community for the “No Kings” demonstrations on October 18.

For the third year, California killed a bill to help incarcerated domestic violence survivors. “There are a ton of states that are far more conservative than California that passed more extensive legislation through Republican run legislatures."

Ending cash bail prevents criminalized survivors of gender-based violence from being held unnecessarily. Kudos to the anti-violence advocates in Illinois advocating for maintaining Illinois' bail reform law. 19thnews.org/2025/10/cash...
