This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.
If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.
Such wanton inhumanity and intentional cruelty. Disgusting.

Wow. Absolutely brutal.
Yesterday, those who teach Intro to Sociology at Florida colleges (as opposed to universities) received a ready-made curriculum from the state and were ordered to teach it.
Yes, you read that correctly. The *state* is enforcing a curriculum on college profs, complete w/ the following restrictions:
Report: Staff at Dilley raiding cells to confiscate kids' letters and drawings detailing conditions inside
ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings.

Who is going to be held accountable?
Harrowing thread by an immigration attorney describing DHS’s cruelty and contempt for the law
This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Just hands-down one of the sharpest, most pointed, most celebratory public performances ever. Grounded in love, local PR life, political commentary, dance, stagecraft, and Latin musical tradition. Stunning halftime show — Bad Bunny amazes again.
Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.
Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."
ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Videos verified by The New York Times show the man federal agents shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday was holding a phone, not a gun, before the agents took him to the ground and shot him. At least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
JUST IN: In a new lawsuit, Minnesota officials say DHS mishandled evidence from today's crime scene and made "astonishing" law enforcement decisions. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Democrat leaders should be in Minnesota right now, standing side by side with Walz and Frey and the community.
They need to show solidarity and a united front.
They must say Abolish ICE.
They won't but they should. Trump is going to unleash hell on that state.

genuinely stunning image
Don't forget the Supreme Court's role facilitating ICE's brutality and racism in Minneapolis. SCOTUS lifted an injunction that limited racial profiling in immigration enforcement on Sept. 8. The federal assault on Chicago began the next day. Then came the Twin Cities. SCOTUS greenlit these horrors.
They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.
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."
National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.
Minnesota's citizens are showing that this country is too big, too decent, too democratic and too free in some deep sense for Trumpism to control it all. Trumpists are throwing massive amounts of money and resources into ICE. It's not enough. Thank you, Minnesota. Thank you America. Keep fighting.
Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.
Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.
Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.
🚨"This is nuts! What the f*ck is going on, this is insane! ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants—it's f*cking anybody!" -furious Minneapolis resident tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social after ICE shot a man in the leg tonight. LIVE NOW ⬇️

Alan Liu cradling in his arm five copies of the paperback edition of Critical Infrastructure Studies and Digital Humanities while standing in front of a painting against the red wall of his dining room. The painting is a large, abstract oil work in blue-gray and burnt-orange colors by artist Harry Reese; it is titled "Consensual Hallucination" in allusion to the canonical passage defining "cyberspace" in William Gibson's novel, Neuromancer.
Physical copies of our Critical Infrastructure Studies and Digital Humanities book (newest volume in Debates in DH series) arrived today just in time for the holidays! www.upress.umn.edu/978151791608... @uminnpress.bsky.social
