Donate to Protect Addi From Forced Removal, organized by Holly M On Sunday 15th February, my wife Addison was detained for 21 hours by UK border control at t… Holly M needs your support for Protect Addi From Forced Removal

a trans woman i know is being deported back to the USA due to the Home Office messing up paperwork.

her wife is desperately trying to raise the funds to prevent this. they have 48 hours before she’s put on a plane and might never be able to return.

please, help if you can. they’re both terrified.

Moms told me that their kids had lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping on the facility’s hard metal bunk beds in rooms shared by at least a dozen other people, and were constantly sick. “The shock for my daughter was devastating,” Maria Alejandra Montoya from Colombia wrote in an email to me about her daughter Maria Antonia. “Watching her adapt is like watching her wings being clipped. Hearing other children fight over card games at the tables makes me feel like we are not mothers and children, but inmates.”

Kids at the Dilley, Texas concentration camp are finding worms and mold in their food.

One mother described the impact on her child:

“Watching her adapt is like watching her wings being clipped.”

There were children in Dilley who were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, several mothers told me. Recently, two cases of measles were discovered in the center. Federal officials said they quarantined some immigrants, and attorneys said ICE cancelled in-person legal visits until Feb. 14 as a safety precaution.

At the same Texas concentration camp:

“There were children in Dilley who were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, several mothers told me. Recently, two cases of measles were discovered in the center.“

Extreme child abuse as state policy.

Mia Valentina Paz Faria A 7-year-old from Venezuela who was living in Austin, Texas Detained for 70 days “I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

UPDATE: Staff at the ICE concentration camp in Dilley, Texas have begun raiding the dormitories of kids and their parents to confiscate and destroy letters from the children. This is in response to the ace reporting by @micarosenberg et al for ProPublica:

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

- 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas.

Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children.

This would be considered a human rights crisis elsewhere

Unfortunately the reality is that cops have a history of killing people by dropping them off in inhospitable places. In Canada it’s called a “starlight tour” when cops detain an Indigenous person and then drop them off miles from home in the wilderness, sometimes causing them to freeze to death

🧵 In response to my posts on X today, DOJ 1) unredacted an FBI file that LABELS two individuals as co-conspirators 2) unredacted a file that lists several men who might be implicated 3) tacitly admitted that Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was the sender of the torture video

Thomas Massie is cooking right now and explicitly states that UAE Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was sending torture videos to Epstein

This is just part of patrol. ICE threatens you, points guns at you, brutalizes or kills someone in front of you. Every day it's somebody new in our circle. We gather around them while they work through the stress and fear and then, to the person, they go back out.

My friends are so insanely brave.

They Wanted a University Without Cancel Culture. Then Dissenters Were Ousted. Inside the civil war at the anti-woke university backed by Bari Weiss.

The Bari Weiss founded UATX, where "cancel culture" was banned imploded over the imposition of ideological litmus tests on affiliates by its oligarch benefactors, such as a bar on "hating the rich."

loving the new Big K.R.I.T. album, plenty of catchy and vibey trap beats with some excellent rapping from K.R.I.T.!

So, I switched from Spotify to Apple Music (for several reasons) mid-year, thus no single wrapped, but courtesy of stats.fm here's my top 10 songs for the year across both platforms

been listening to the new Big K.R.I.T. album, it's a lot of fun so far

Of course it is. The current admin has wholeheartedly embraced AI as an official state tool of disinformation and flooding the zone.

A screenshotted Bluesky post draft which is over the character limit, reading: "I might just be a random trans woman whose feed brought me this post with no prior context but I wanna say I'm very, very sorry for the harassment, misgendering and transphobia you've been getting over this, nothing justifies that sort of behavior, but sadly far too many people see trans women as an acceptable target for such abuse. I hate the fact that so many who are supposedly part of our communities and supposedly advocating for our rights feel comfortable treating you this way, and I feel awful that you've had to endure this level of harassment and transphobic abuse. You're still trans and still a woman no matter what any of those people say, and I hope you don't take the hate to heart because you seem like an awesome and bright person and I'd hate for these lonely terminally online weirdos to make you doubt yourself."

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time.

Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

it’s one Helen Andrews, who is indeed both, as well as a virulent and outspoken racist

actually ghoulishly racist to even try to compare the two, wtaf

Feds detain dozens of immigrants in 'massive' South Shore apartment building raid in Chicago • The TRiiBE An estimated 40 people were taken by federal agents in the course of the overnight raid in the predominately-Black neighborhood.

NEW — An estimated 40 people were taken by federal agents in an overnight raid in South Shore, a predominantly-Black neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side.

A couple who live nearby said they were shocked to see the enormous militarized raid in their community.

Just finished my #firstlisten of Isaiah Rashad's The Sun's Tirade, an amazing, lowkey, vibey, yet introspective album with stunning highlights like Wat's Wrong, Free Lunch, 4r Da Squaw, Silkk da Shocka, and Find a Topic (homies begged).

#musicsky #hiphopsky #hiphop #music #albums

Both great albums but summertime 06 is more banger-heavy and a more exciting listen on the whole

Love to NxWorries but MadGibbs easily, we're talking about Pinata *and* Bandana here, two of the best hip hop albums of their respective years

Care For Me is amazing and Saba's one of my favourite modern-day storytellers but JID's unparalleled in that lane imo, he's an easy GOAT in my mind

very close but personally Sampha gets my vote 9 times out of 10, both very talented

Love both albums but personally summertime '06 is the more exciting front to back listen despite dark times having more highlights overall

Here's a few albums I've been diving into lately:
Pusha T - It's Almost Dry
Twenty One Pilots - Breach
Paramore - Riot!
Earl Sweatshirt - Live Laugh Love
