DHS and ICE 'acted without authority' by putting ankle monitor on man a federal judge in Scranton ordered released, judge says A federal judge's order to free a Venezuelan immigrant was undermined by an ankle monitor, underscoring wider concerns over ICE practices

In local, fascist news.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

ICE isn't a rogue agency.

It’s operating exactly as it was intended: to systematically target and inflict violence on immigrants and marginalized people.

It must be abolished.

Bondi also directs the FBI to establish a cash reward system for information leading to identification and arrest of leadership figures within organizations expressing “opposition to ... immigration enforcement," "radical gender ideology," "anti-Americanism," and "anti-capitalism."

Beyond grateful for @envfreefund.bsky.social today. After we had to file a habeas lawsuit to get a bond hearing for our detained client, and an immigration judge granted a bond the family couldn't afford, they jumped into action and now he is FREE! Please support them if you can!

Contractor Paying Random People $300 to Physically Track Immigrants for ICE “The more I listened to it, the more I’m like, something doesn’t sound right,” a person who was briefed on the pilot plans told 404 Media.

New from 404 Media: a contractor is paying random people $300 to physically track immigrants for ICE. Spoke to people briefed on plans. This isn't licensed PIs/bounty hunters. These are just former police/military; members of public

"Something doesn't sound right"

The 2025 state of the climate report: a planet on the brink We are hurtling toward climate chaos. The planet's vital signs are flashing red. The consequences of human-driven alterations of the climate are no longer

We are hurtling toward climate chaos. The planet's vital signs are flashing red. The consequences of human-driven alterations of the climate are no longer future threats but are here now. This unfolding emergency stems from failed foresight, political inaction,

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

U.S. Military Kills Another 6 People in 5th Caribbean Strike, Trump Says In a social media post, the president said the people aboard a boat were suspected of smuggling drugs for an unspecified group his team had labeled terrorists.

Trump just bombed six more people in the Caribbean, for a total of 27 civilians who have been killed so far by the US military. It’s illegal for the military to target civilians who do not pose an immediate threat. This is murder.

Musician playing ‘Ghostbusters’ outside ICE facility is arrested by agents: ‘Why are they targeting a clarinetist?’

When @kenklippenstein.bsky.social says "I don't want to sound hyperbolic but" 😳

ICE just gassed a group a civilians near the Rico Fresh supermarket intersection on Armitage in Chicago - bystanders say this was in response for being heckled from the street.

The DC Night Patrols Are Showing Cities How To Fight Trump’s Occupation With only their cell phones, medical kits, and the confidence to assert their rights, volunteer night patrols follow and record the armed troops who have taken over the capital.

Mapping Community Defense and Care in Our Neighborhoods This worksheet can help us prepare for Trump's military interventions at the neighborhood level.

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.

“I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies & materials that do not reflect science and are designed to hurt public health. The recent change in the adult and children’s immunization schedule threaten the lives of the youngest Americans & pregnant people.”

“the 16 Israeli children who died during the Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Hamas and the 12,211 names of the Palestinian children who have died following Israel's occupation of Gaza”

Twelve thousand children.

Our tax dollars have killed twelve thousand children.

Here in Philly/S Jersey, Wegmans still has appointments 🤞

"The agency is expected to sign off on the new vaccine formulas and labels any day now. The action will halt administration of the current vaccines, which are approved for most adults and children, regardless of underlying conditions."

"Right now, the administration is on the banks of the Rubicon. If the federal seizure of D.C. persists without oversight or legal justification, we will know the administration has made their way across the river." -@cldc03.bsky.social

DHS, the agency currently shrugging off fact that their PR guy relentlessly posted Nazi memes, today announced that anything that it deems endorsement of what DHS deems an antisemitic ideology will result in denial of any discretionary benefit application.

Berks baby jail was a pretty small facility (96 beds) but it managed to hold unimaginable suffering. Now they are going to expand family detention to 7,700 beds.

So, so many children will be traumatized. All so private prisons can make more profits.

Tramp in the Third Reich - Street Sense Media The story of Fritz Eichler, who traveled across Germany while homeless during the Third Reich.

Stephen Miller is so unoriginal.

“In 1936 The National Socialists toughened their stance... Homeless people were criminalised and labelled ‘antisocial parasites of society.’ In 1938 around 11,000 homeless people were arrested and held in concentration camps during a ‘cleansing operation.’”

Hi @wxpnfm.bsky.social. Just making sure you saw this! It's unacceptable to be playing songs with racial slurs anywhere, much less a majority Black city like #Philadelphia.

Mistakes happen, but at least acknowledge it and promise it won't happen again.

ICE is cosplaying as construction workers so they can kidnap day laborers in Danbury, CT.

@wxpnfm.bsky.social Earlier today you played a Mott the Hoople song containing a slur for Black people. This is obviously not OK. Will you issue a public apology and pledge to take the song out of future rotation?

From high energy on the picket lines to ‘demoralized’ at work: How DC 33 members are navigating a post-strike workplace In the days following the first major city worker strike in almost 40 years, seven municipal employees spoke to The Inquirer about the strike and their return to work.

"Philly is a city that loves unifying our anger at somebody or something."

Trump’s Lie about Dead “White Farmers” Just Got Even More Grotesque That photo he brandished to Cyril Ramaphosa was from the Democratic Republic of Congo—whose refugees the Trump administration is pointedly not welcoming to America.

Unreal: To sustain his lie about a "genocide" of "white farmers" while meeting with the South African president, Trump used a photo of war deaths in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

I looked into this a bit more. It's worse than it first appeared. 1/

Trump is building a global gulag for immigrants captured by ICE: “In many ways, this is a retread of the practices of the second Bush administration in terms of extraordinary rendition abroad; the RDI program, rendition, detention, and interrogation — their torture program” ‪@bcfinucane.bsky.social‬
