The West is marshalling all this effort and tearing any pretence of international law to shreads all to empower an apartheid state that has been openly committing genocide for the past several years.
Any notion the West was some kind of moral arbiter of the world is dead and buried.
Concerned about ICE's $45 billion plan to convert warehouses into immigration detention centers? This is what they'll look like inside. From ICE's plan for the Social Circle, GA facility. Each little dot: a person. www.socialcirclega.gov/home/showpub...
Here's an incredible toolkit for people working to stop ICE buying or leasing warehouses to convert to concentration camps. From the amazing gang at @detentionwatchnetwork.org

At AAG Detroit in 2025, Dr. LaToya Eaves was in dialogue with Drs. Katherine McKittrick, Willie Jamaal Wright, and Kevin Grove about the pathbreaking book, Black Geographies and the Politics of Place.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.
AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past.
It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.
Annoyingly, this doesn’t specify what exactly is happening. But it sure seems like DHS filed a “motion to pretermit” the asylum application. Which it is doing in countless cases around the country.
There’s been a little reporting on this; there needs to be a bunch more. I’m working a piece myself.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Dr. Nikki Luke just published a new article for The Conversation US, “Data centers told to pitch in as storms and cold weather boost power demand.”

“It’s just weird to see a toddler in a pink onesie getting their eyes washed out from tear gas, you know?”
Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control.
“It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.
Here’s my @thenation.com post on the arrest of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, the violation of the First Amendment, and Trump’s ongoing attempts to change the face of his victims and spark a race war.
The Trump Adm is arresting Don Lemon and overcharging disruptive protesters at Cities Church to posture as if it’s protecting Christians. It’s not. DHS is staging disruptive ops at other churches, at least one of which has had to go online. ...

Attorney General Pamela... * @AGPamBondi X.com At my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.

interested to learn what “at my direction” means because it sounds like “without a warrant”
There are 3,800 kids in ICE custody.
Did I mention that large portions of MN’s population are in hiding right now? Kids are missing school. Adults can’t go out to work. People aren’t able to buy food or pay rent, and mutual aid is all keeping everyone going. We keep us safe, on our own, and people are being shot in the street for it
Federal deployment to Minneapolis "is steady state and expected to continue as planned," per Border Patrol memo leaked to me
Are you a bot or just a person with no imagination?
Just move along and do your thing, then.
Seriously! They were just jumping over themselves to represent it as bad faith deception and manipulation. Lost a lot of respect for some folks.
A cropped Google Map showing Arivaca, Arizona's limits and the distance to the border with Mexico, across the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge
For context, this is about 10 miles from the Mexico border, with most of that being a wildlife refuge. In other words, this is the sort of place where CBP more normally shoots people.
Border Patrol shot someone in Arizona this morning outside Arivaca.
The murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti are not unusual. Border Patrol agents have killed hundreds of people over the past few years. We know about Renee and Alex because Border Patrol was deployed in a city, in front of cameras.
Today I learned that Alex Pretti was a Geographer -- a colleague writes "he graduated in 2011 from the University of Minnesota Geography Department's Biology, Society, and Environment (BSE) program. ... "1/2
We need to get it broadly understood that Stephen Miller's ethnic cleansing will result in a permanent metastasized immigrant carceral state and paramilitary warfare on US streets that goes on *for years.*
The internal logic of his agenda dictates this of necessity.

She's a colleague I admire and respect.
People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.
She tried to delete it, and thought she had. That is different than claiming to delete it, which implies actual deception.
