Solidarity City Intersections between Immigration and Incarceration

If interested, folks can research the many efforts that groups have made over the years to in fact connect these dots. See the Solidarity City efforts that some of us were part of in Chicago: solidaritycity.wordpress.com

People have been and are still making these connections.

Just saw a post lamenting a lack of connections being made between incarceration/jail and "immigrant detention." I understand why a general public might not see those lines drawn but I have to say that this is another instance where long-time organizing is invisible and invisibilized.

Guaranteed income helps people leaving jail and prison, and that helps everyone Guaranteed income programs show reduced recidivism and improved self-sufficiency, quickly paying for themselves.

Guaranteed income for people in reentry is a smart policy move that helps people succeed, reduces recidivism, and quickly pays for itself.

🚨NEW: The cost of living is constantly on the rise. For people leaving jail or prison, who face mounting barriers to employment, it can be almost impossible to keep up.

The solution? Guaranteed income.

Data shows it keeps people out of prison — and saves taxpayers thousands 🧵

Flow chart showing the U.S. spends $445 billion on mass incarceration each year.

Happy Tax Day. Just a reminder, as you potentially owe Uncle Sam: Mass incarceration costs the U.S. $445 billion every single year.

Dilley is evil and must be closed. It's a goddamn concentration camp. A moral abomination. People are going to Hell over this.

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos

Ramadan has officially ended. Eid Mubarak! Hoping that we take the lessons of Ramadan into the year and that we offer more compassion to each other and commit to lessening suffering how we can.

The rise of online vibrant events in early Covid offered a lot of hope for disabled/chronically ill people who have access issues attending IRL events (including going into a flare later). Anti-Zoom reactive sentiment pushed a lot of people into being more isolated again.

CNN at the site of an Israeli strike in Lebanon that killed 9 people, including 5 children:

"We're told it was a yogurt factory by the neighbors here."

"The children's bodies, we're told, are in pieces and are going to take a while to identify the DNA so that they can actually do a burial."

Lebanon: Israel Unlawfully Using White Phosphorus The Israeli military unlawfully used artillery-fired white phosphorus munitions over homes on March 3, 2026, in the southern Lebanese town of Yohmor.

Human Rights Watch says they've verified that Israel has used white phosphorus on civilian populations in Lebanon.

Authorities say a Georgia teacher was killed in a prank gone wrong. A teen is charged with homicide Authorities say a Georgia high school teacher is dead after teenagers pulled a late night prank outside his home.

I appreciate this family’s commitment to refusing to do more damage in the name of punishment:

“Hughes’ family said he knew and loved the five students involved and urged authorities to drop all charges against them.”

The Dred Scott ruling denied citizenship to all Black people in America and enshrined racist ideology that continues to haunt our nation today.

MANDATORY TIMELINE CLEANSE

two of my favorite people in conversation. looking forward to listening when I have a chance.

As someone who has survived multiple jaw bone infections and needed several endodontic treatments for tooth infections, let me tell you that this man died in one of the most painful ways possible

They tortured him. An untreated tooth infection is torture.

“Many of their commanders are especially delighted with how graphic this battle will be zeroing in on how bloody all of this must become in order to fulfill and be in 100% accordance with fundamentalist Christian end of the world eschatology.”

tl;dr: more people should watch this gentleman's speech and think seriously about what he is saying
