The ongoing deportations are no accident: SE & the EU are proposing ICE-style immigration changes. We cannot condemn those practices abroad while accepting them here.

#ICE has no place in the US - or in Europe.

In solidarity with all those standing up for our communities against the brutality of immigrant detention and ICE occupation, we're offering free ebooks of three crucial books about migrant justice and border abolition.

We’ve also added a list of additional recommended reading:

There is no viable path forward that does not include dissolving the Department of Homeland Security.

Cabinet-level department for joint FEMA/Coast Guard/Climate Readiness agencies. All other agencies absorbed into their original departments. Abolish ICE.

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

You in contact with any folks in the otolith collections @ NOAA? Wonder if someone on that end could put in a sampling request for you.

If the hardcore band's bassist looks like this, you're gonna die in that pit

Can’t speak on the others, but remember some allegations made against Uyarakq on Twitter a while back - guessing related to that. Otherwise this is a really rad playlist.
