What an image! Venezuelan men who narrowly avoided being imprisoned by Trump in El Salvador without trial (saved by the Supreme Court) spelled out an SOS to a @reuters.com camera drone observing the Bluebonnet ICE facility. 11 days ago, buses to the airport were turned around at the last second.

A mob of Hasidic men in Brooklyn chase down a woman who came to protest Ben-Gvir. This sort of reaction has become normalized in NYC and LA, where violence against protestors has spiked enormously since October 7th. This largely isn't covered or addressed by media, despite how widespread it is.

Illinois handled 25% of ALL out-of-state abortions last year. That’s 35,000+ people crossing state lines just to get care. The Chicago Abortion Fund fielded 16,000+ calls and no one was turned away. That's holding the line.

Trump's deportation force is currently holding three times as many people at Krome as their capacity. Two of the detainees have died. Reportedly more than 40 women are being held at this all-male facility. Reports of lack of water and food, unsanitary conditions and medical neglect.

Rafah no longer exists. Israel has flattened an entire city to build a buffer zone and carve Gaza into military corridors. This about permanent occupation and ethnic cleansing. mondoweiss.net/2025/04/rafa...

Mayor’s proposed budget, under Exhibit H (page 40 of the proposed budget). The Mayor is instructing everyone to prioritize the Olympics and instructing there to be one fan festival site in each Council District, despite not allocating funds for this. Very cool.

Israeli forces have now dropped more explosives in Gaza than fell on London, Dresden, and Hamburg during the Second World War. The region’s hospitals have not been spared; most are no longer functional. Clayton Dalton writes about the devastation.

Wow—15 international students at the University of Central Florida have had their visas revoked as a result of the school's signed partnership with ICE. One was detained. Literally handed over to immigration cops by their own university. Despicable.

SCOOP — The US sent Iraqi refugee Omar Ameen to Rwanda via new diplomatic relationship in which they've agreed to act as a "third country" for deportees unable to be safely returned to their country of origin, per cables reviewed by me. This is first reported instance. Cable indicates more to come.

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

One of the best ways you can help us fight mask bans is to wear a mask. Wear it to show solidarity with disabled and vulnerable people. Wear it to stand up to fascism. Wear it to protect your health for the battle ahead. The more people masking, the harder they are to ban. Normalize masking!
