pay-to-stay fees in county jails are terrible, ofc. but far from the full extent of fees. there's fees imposed as part of a sentence, bail fees, phone call or tablet access fees while incarcerated, fees for electronic monitoring, public defender fees, diversion program fees............

Abortion funds are buckling under the weight of need. Meanwhile no one can say what Big Repro is doing with their millions. It’s just infuriating on every level. I’m feeling particularly salty about of all of this for specific reasons.

It is 3°F and the weather app says it feels like -11°F. Human beings should not be kicked out of their shelters in this. I would not kick a squirrel out of a roof-hole in this.

Hundreds of asylum seekers from around the globe are being trapped by the US in a Panama hotel where they'll eventually be sent to a camp in the jungle. One Chinese man said “I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights. I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”

Leavitt says they’ve begun flying deportees to Guantanamo Bay. This is functionally disappearing human beings. There is no consular access to Guantanamo, making it nearly impossible for those held there to be represented by their governments. There is virtually no media access, either.

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥 Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump signs executive order withdrawing the U.S. from the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) and cut all funding to UNRWA, the main agency supporting Palestinian refugees. This means millions of Palestinians lose access to food, healthcare, and education.

RIP Hind Rajab. Today is one year on since this little six year old was killed (my daughter's age) - and then so were the two brave medics who came to rescue her, as agreed by the IDF, as she cowered in her family car with her family dead around her. I will never forget this story.

Let me get this straight: Either Trump sent ICE agents to an elementary school to search for undocumented immigrants, or the Secret Service was sent to track down "an 11-year-old who posted an anti-Trump video." Either way, not great.

WaPo went from winning a Pulitzer for documenting, quantifying, and contextualizing the American epidemic of racist and fatal police violence (for which they owe Wesley Lowery an enormous debt of gratitude) to the paper that hired the man who covered up such violence as mayor of Chicago. Neat.

Israel released 90 hostages in Gaza then took 90 new hostages in the West Bank. This is what Israel does and this is the vile colonial violence it’s founded on, beyond any kind of reform

listening to Radio Garden - one of my fav stations is Radio Indigena 94.1 FM in Oxnard, CA, a project of Mixteco Indigena Community Organizing Project. They were essentially giving a KYR training on air this morning, and in between songs they are giving info about being prepared. there's lots to do!

Kelly is correct that noncompliance is key. The fact is that it's also key at the individual level. Each of us is going to have to take inventory on the things we won't comply with and the laws we're willing to break.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant no matter what the ICE officer says.
