In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly.

In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, HBCUs received terroristic threats. Black students have been expelled or forced to withdraw. Black professors and teachers have been fired and placed on leave. A Black firefighter was placed on leave. A Black journalist was fired

No one should be evicted from their camps, but especially not with heavy equipment.

This killed a man in Atlanta.

It almost killed someone here in DC, but we thankfully heard him yelling before he was loaded in the trash compactor.

ICE murdered someone in Chicago yesterday. It seems the news cycle has moved on from the federal takeover stuff, but it’s very much still happening & escalating.

Legacy media and cable news reduced Trump's aggression against Chicago to a question of whether troops would be sent immediately. When he said he was taking his fascist military spectacle elsewhere, those media players declared the situation over—while waves of federal agents attack our neighbors.

You probably failed at "building bridges" if millions of people think that your life's work was destructive and terrible and if your supporters have to threaten people to keep them quiet about said legacy.

A personal plea guys.

Have you ever had an 👂🦠?

I had one 2 months ago & I rated the pain as a hair below CHILDBIRTH.

Halima is 14 & her 👂🦠 is antibiotic resistant. Doc says she needs surgery or she will lose her 🧏‍♀️

What happens when it spreads to her 🧠

Surgery is $1k 🔁💸

Last night, about 60 Chicago activists and organizers gathered to discuss Trump's threatened military occupation of our city. Our convo centered around a worksheet that some friends and I put together this week—a tool that can help us build and strengthen local networks of support and protection.
Mapping Community Defense and Care in Our Neighborhoods
This worksheet can help us prepare for Trump's military interventions at the neighborhood level.

What’s happening is a lot of people who thought a little fascism just meant clearing out some undesirables and making the trains run on time are realizing that actually yes they too will be effected and it’s making them slightly nervous.

I want a politics that widens the circle to include everyone, not one that shrinks the circle by throwing *undesirables* under the bus. I think this is basic. I am interested in a politics that is rooted at the sources of people's suffering. I am interested in a politics that attends to basic needs.

And a lot of people don't even get that they agree with the fascism, because they think of fascism as something grand and spectacular, not mundane and pathetic. They can act appalled by the spectacle of the moment while not fundamentally disagreeing with any of the actual policy.

Abrego is the *only* prisoner ever released from CECOT, so this is the sole account we have of the horrifying conditions in the prison in El Salvador where Trump has sent over 260 people from the US.
Abrego said he shared a cell with 20 people, who were forced to kneel overnight, “with guards striking anyone who fell from exhaustion.”
He was denied bathroom access and soiled himself. Detainees were confined to metal bunks w/no mattresses in an overcrowded cell w/no windows, bright lights…
Politico - Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was illegaly deported by the Trump administration, details his mistreatment in a Salvadoran prison, claiming he suffered "severe beatings," sleep deprivation, malnutrition and other forms of torture at the hands of his jailers.

How do I say this….

THIS IS NOT A THING people.

Exceptionalizing ICE fails to recognize that ICE & cops serve similar functions use the same tactics target the same people (undercover cops kidnap Black Indigenous & migrant ppl too) & collaborate to criminalize migrants every damn day.
Please stop.
According to a new poll, nearly three-quarters of Californians believe local police officers should arrest federal immigration agents who “act maliciously or knowingly exceed their authority under federal law.”
