Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.
"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

I can't recommend the latest episode of @yourewrongabout.bsky.social about enough. It's the story of a young girl lost at sea, but it's actually so much more. One of the all time great episodes of a truly wonderful show.
Hi there. Are you thinking to yourself you would be interested to support independent journalism today as well as getting bonus episodes and discounts on merch and whatnot? Well why not support the Hyperfixed podcast! It will help me give raises and healthcare to my team! www.hyperfixedpod.com/join
Picked up the latest edition of @realchangenews.org today and really enjoyed reading some poetry written by young people in juvenile detention.
You don’t see that sort of thing a lot of places.
The sudoku also kicked my ass.
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
If you liked the old Scrubs, I think you will like the new Scrubs! Almost disconcertingly seamless and right back to the exact usual vibe.
As someone who is generally anti-reboot, I was very skeptical, but it's quite good! I used to watch the first 5 seasons on repeat and it's been nice to revisit the world and characters.
Crazy how disproportionately represented that 20% is in this country's pundits and cabinet members.
I just learned that Northside Mutual Aid (supporting North Minneapolis families impacted by ICE) is still trying to meet $80,000 in rent needs from FEBRUARY.
Can we move some funds in their direction? 🌻

ICE abducted a father of a six-year-old who is undergoing cancer treatment in a suburb outside Pittsburgh on Sunday and took him to a detention center in West Virginia.
The cruelty is boundless.
Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

I’ve been really disappointed to see some of my favorite Spurs fans and content creators still using X. Now is the time to leave if you haven’t already.

I fucking love this song. No idea where I originally found it but I’ve been obsessed with it for like 15 years.

Alex Paucar and Kimberly Tocte, were kidnapped by ICE while going to their immigration check in. This family needs help with lawyer fees, bond requests, and support to stay afloat and be reunited. Alex is being held in Texas now and Kimberly is in Minnesota being monitored.

But each deed you do, each act, binds you to itself and to its consequences, and makes you act again and yet again. Then very seldom do you come upon a space, a time like this, between act and act, when you may stop and simply be. Or wonder who, after all, you are.
“Before Present,” a new comic. My partner was prepping slides for a intro to Archaeology lecture on “time." She had a slide showing that the oldest recorded human footprints in North America (21-23k years BP) are just south of the Trinity Test site. Both in New Mexico. About 60 miles apart.

One more reason my soul shrivels up every time I hear someone say "I just used chatgpt to ____"
It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"
Minneapolis, MN -
Very developing situation here. FPS agents ran into the hotel. Tear gas deployed. Hotel patrons forced to put their hands up. One agent’s nose bloodied.
I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...
Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.
One day this will be in reprinted text books and museums. An incredible example of the courage and care that everyday people are currently displaying in the midst of fascist state violence.
Sending so much love to every single person standing against ICE in ways visible and not.
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
