Know your rights.

While making an arrest or conducting a search, ICE MUST present either a signed, judicial warrant to enter private property,
or an admin. warrant from the government agency authorizing an arrest or seizure.

Spread the word!

Mothers and the disappeared Pregnant child detainees are sent to Texas, as harm crosses generations.

I wrote about the US funneling pregnant children in immigrant detention to a Texas facility where their rights can be more effectively restricted. I hear echoes of disappeared parents and kidnapped children in Argentina decades ago. In each case, the intent is to inflict deep generational trauma.

As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.

Quakertown parents, groups demand release of students in police clash Civil rights groups and parents gathered in front of the Quakertown Police Department Saturday demanding answers for the violent confrontation Friday.

INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday.

They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades.

It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

Hi, bsky. Working on a story about how federal immigration arrests have carried on in and around Chicago even without Cmdr. Bovino and CBP roving around here. If you have been involved in an arrest β€” as a bystander, protester, community support worker etc β€” I would love to talk to you. Email in bio.

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

The Board of Governors decided, unilaterally, that no published textbook in the field of sociology could be used in compliance with the law for an Intro to Sociology class. None.
Victor: There's not a single existing textbook on the market that could be used that would qualify under state law?
Zachary: Correct.

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.

Great work everyone.
