40 years ago on this date, police dropped a bomb on a West Philadelphia neighborhood

"Now’s the time to find people doing effective work + plug in. Trump doesn’t want us building collective community capacity. He wants us frozen in front of our screens, staring in either sick joy or sheer horror." Latest from @xandrewleex.bsky.social instruggle.substack.com/p/cruelty-is...

In the midst of an egg crisis, check out this report and video documentary on how people in Carbondale, IL launched the "Chicken Tenders" project: building co-op chicken coops in an effort to increase neighborhood autonomy and resilience during the pandemic. territories.substack.com/p/egg-song

i would imagine hasan knows, rationally, not to talk in situations like this. he did anyway because cops of all stripes are very good at making you feel like in *just this one particular situation* it makes more sense to talk a bit. don't ever give in to that impulse.

One was a boy, 7, who yawned as he sat on a wooden pew-like bench in the courtroom while the judge spoke. His feet, which he kicked back and forth while waiting for his case, did not reach the ground. The boy was accompanied by a volunteer from NorCal Resist, a local activist organization.

"The local police arrived to prevent the community from protecting their neighbor from an unlawful kidnapping. They succeeded, and in the process arrested two of the people who tried to stop it." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.

Awesome day at the farm with @norcalresist.bsky.social Hopefully the strawberries will be happy in their new home!

This Friday, letter writing to political prisoners at 2775 Cottage Way #15 Sacramento (small typo on the flier).

This past week we had confirmed ICE activity in South Lake Tahoe. We are in touch with the family of one person who was detained during this activity, but it is possible there are other impacted families. We can be reached at 916-382-0256 for support

A man pulled up to a gas station to fill up his truck. ICE agents surrounded him and took him away. But his children were left behind. “They arrested someone,” witness said. “They left the children inside the truck.” www.sfgate.com/centralcoast...

People in the streets of #Worcester, MA demanding ICE GTFO.

New: a man 'disappeared' by ICE was not included on a government list of people deported to El Salvador's mega prison. But we found his name in a hacked flight manifest to the country. Raises questions about how much the government knows about who it is deporting www.404media.co/man-disappea...

Best response to idea that habeas corpus can be suspended for immigrants: “Stephen Miller is not a lawyer but he plays a s‑‑‑ty one on TV. No one in their right mind would take his advice seriously, but sanity is in short supply in this administration,” the aide said. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

newsrooms of the world did u know that when Rümeysa Öztürk gets out you can pay her to write an editorial, and then publish it? did u know that if all of you did this it would be a whole thing and a good one

Dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters occupy Columbia University library reut.rs/42MBhpz

Columbia students in a standoff with campus police, after occupying Butler Library and declaring it a liberated zone, dubbed the Basel Al-Araj Popular University.

InterRebellium 01. The Estallido Social The first of a multipart documentary series, InterRebellium 01. The Estallido Social is a story told through the eyes of anarchist and anticolonial participants of the 2019 uprising in the territories occupied by the state of Chile.

Breaking News: A newly declassified memo shows that U.S. intelligence agencies have rejected President Trump’s key justification for deporting Venezuelans.

El Salvador's President Bukele is reportedly preparing to arrest the journalists who have reported on the secret deals Bukele struck with Salvadoran gangs that have enabled his consolidation of power.

Thanks to everyone who came and helped out at our Mutual Aid Sew Along in conjunction with the @saclgbtcenter.bsky.social We finished more than 80 cooling scarves, and have dozens more that will be very easy to finish.

The mural says Fight Fascism. Coincidentally, it’s right in front of our local ICE office. Check it out at 650 Capitol Mall.

Drone footage of our community art mural!

What does “we keep us safe” mean? It means no one goes into ICE alone. Be part of the team, join our training this Tuesday on Zoom.

Some pics from our May Day art event! This is our 5th year holding this event, and we always have a special message for ICE. This year it’s FIGHT FASCISM- check it out in front of ICE in downtown Sac

You know that if the New York Times is reporting this, then the situation is extremely dire. Palestinians have been saying for months that famine is happening due to Israel’s siege. That is a war crime, Israel is the agent, the US is the sponsor, and American taxpayers are rendered complicit.

Bukele goes after reporters who shared details on power-sharing pact with gangs El Faro journalists fear arrest orders as Bukele blames "NGOs, elites, and Soros" for the new revelations LATEST by me for PWS

Our May Day celebration is tomorrow, we’ll be doing a street mural— come out and help! No need to bring anything, just be dressed to get a little messy. Meetup is on Capitol Mall, it wont be hard to find us.

Nearly all of remaining staff at CDC's NIOSH received lay off notices today, we're told This is an org chart shared with us illustrating eliminated divisions to date Cuts had already upended approvals of new N95 respirators and probes of firefighter injuries www.cbsnews.com/news/worker-...

“Mr. Rodríguez, we’re going to miss you,” a girl told the teacher after singing. 
“I’m going to miss you, too,” he said, fighting back tears of his own. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

This is a very, VERY big deal. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/u...

the trump administration, obviously concerned with racial equality, thinks its illegal discrimination to spend federal dollars protecting a predominantly black community from raw sewage

Friendly May Day reminder that cops aren’t workers! FTP!

The cops are defunding every major city.

every gender transition is a statement in favor of human possibility and freedom and i’m tired of hearing it talked about like it’s some kind of disease

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200. The kicker: She was never charged with a crime—and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money. Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.

All of this for some students watching a documentary on campus. Fucking ridiculous.

"...for protests to succeed, they must be backed by movements with the ability to promise to withhold—labor, debt payments, rent payments, or consumer support—and to follow through if demands aren’t met." Glad to have gotten the opportunity to push this line in Time time.com/collections/...

WOW. @tanvi.bsky.social reports ICE was going to send a TEENAGER to be imprisoned in El Salvador without a trial because an officer thought a blue and white water pistol was a real gun! He has NO criminal record, was attending school, has a pending asylum hearing, and has never gotten into trouble!
