A lot more people should know about the bravery Marimar Martinez displayed in the midst of Chicago’s occupation and the murder of two observers in MSP. They tried to kill her, shooting her 5 times, and it’s a miracle she’s alive to push for transparency like this after being persecuted by the DOJ.

32 people died in ICE custody last year — the agency’s deadliest year in over two decades.

Meanwhile, private prison corporations that are building and overseeing ICE detention centers are raking it in.

Cashing in on cruelty.

I know what I’ll be doing at the end of the month!

The Week Ahead January 11, 2026

This week, we’ll have to keep focus on multiple important issues at the same time. We can’t let Trump get a pass on any of them. Here’s some information and analysis designed to help. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I’m inexplicably in the pit today. There’s definitely enough happening in the world to put me there but that’s not all of it. It’s grief but has no particular origin. It’s big, amorphous and suffocating. A gray day’s gray day while the sun shines. I want to take it off but it’s too cold outside.

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building.

Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.

The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

Merry Christmas! I hope all who celebrate are having a peaceful, joyful&love filled day! This has been a challenging year w/lots of loss for me-especially the second half, up to the last few days.
It has also been a year of completion, love of family and friends & a few happy surprises. Grateful 🙏🏽

It’s the holiday season! Even w/o all that’s happening in the world, “celebration” can look different as we cope w/loss & change. It’s also ok to create new traditions that can include not doing much at all.
It’s “just a season” that will pass & you get to decide how to experience it.

So I’m late on this series that is now on Netflix. It felt familiar & come to find out that it’s by the folks who did Your Honor-the Showtime series. I’m in. The cast alone makes it worth the watch. Love to hear what y’all think.
