Check out zinemap.com. This international map of zine shops, libraries and events is a stellar resource - lots of community input and some interviews too. Thanks to its creator CJ for telling me about it this morning. Happy to boost this, as it's filled with useful information.
Palantir's software would be a dangerous tool even in the hands of an extremely responsible immigration agency, EFF’s Cindy Cohn said, but “a powerful tool in the hands of an irresponsible and human rights-violating agency is a toxic mix.” www.notus.org/money/tom-s...
Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.
His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.
Half owner of Dean’s Autocare in Portland.
Jury. Nullification.
Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)
Mine doubled. AND student loans restarted.
BREAKING: Medical examiner says death of ICE detainee was a HOMICIDE - a witness says he was choked to death by GUARDS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally.
Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.
Elected officials have to stop posting like bystanders who have no power.
Feckless
"As Mayor, I call on ICE to end all operations in Portland until a full investigation can be completed."

I’ve heard from multiple friends today about daycares being raided and parents being ripped out of cars (in one case with a child left behind in the backseat). Grim times here.
🧵While the tentacles of Epstein engulf Trump, ICE is literally locking courtrooms to hold secret hearings.
They don’t want you to see what they’re doing inside.
What's going on at Minnesota's immigration courts should alarm everyone.
I wonder if ruling for an authoritarian president of your own party 18 straight times (or whatever it is now), often without any reasoning at all, gives any impressions that a Supreme Court justice should wish not to give.
They want violence. They fear mockery.
Seattle on the other hand is suing.
A heartfelt, heartbreaking cry for justice from @marisakabas.bsky.social. “Never again” is happening now, in plain view of the whole world, and it needs to stop.

When people see folks drowning and feel powerless and ill-equipped to save them, they sometimes fight over how to describe the water. It's worth resisting this impulse.

if you live in a GOP state it’s time to ruin a House rep’s life
Turn your baseball hat around Matt
James: His critics said that he should wait his turn. His critics said that he did not have the experience. His critics said they did not have the right name. Well, now all of them know his god damn name.
I love when men explain things to me.
If you're a member of the Democratic gerontocracy, the chances of you catching a primary challenger just went up 1000%.
Every day brings more videos of masked, armed men making violent arrests.
The GOP budget bill would provide ICE with an extra $75 billion and hire 10,000 more agents for enforcement in the US interior -- but so far, Democrats are only talking about Medicaid cuts.

And the Democrats reliably want to discuss things , hold meetings and dither while Republicans are attempting to rapture us. You need to lead.
Demand his impeachment, or step aside and let someone truly fight him.
