Skype was cool as hell and I had some of the most fun nights of my teen years in group calls riffing about some random shit. Discord is fine for connecting you to friends but it'll always just be Slack to me

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

ICE threatening charges against people for asking supposed officers to show their badges is weakness. Not succeeding where they hoped to, left relying on threats that likely won’t go anywhere in court (harassment isn’t nothing, but it’s limited). It’s a sign to resist their abuses more, not less.

“He had a green card interview scheduled for that very day-an interview he never reached because ICE chose to meet lawful compliance with brute force.This man was not evading the law. He tried to comply... They responded by slamming him against a car and tasing him unconscious.”

6 weeks ago today, planes flew a few hundred people to El Salvador, where they’re being held at CECOT — a place from which Salvadoran officials brag no one is ever released — at US expense. Their continued detention there is our continued shame.

"Take him anyway" confirms to me what many of us have suspected: that there's a quota now, and ICE just needs bodies to meet that quota, like cops prowling to give tickets before their numbers are due.

The man in question has a son, age five, who’s autistic. He was caring for his son when he was arrested. The admin is claiming in court that there’s nothing they can do to free him, because they don’t have jurisdiction over the private prison they sent him to. The admin are the bad guys.

this is that repost of bottom-barrel sociopathy I was talking about. "why are people cheering for murder, don't they believe in letting the system work?" they are cheering because the secretary of commerce is on TV saying "if you complain about not getting money you are owed, you're a fraud"

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

I woke up this morning and I didn't feel groggy or jittery. I thought about how much my brain was begging for a cigarette for the past three weeks throughout the move. Allen Carr's Easy Way was on the top of the tote in my bedroom and I opened it to check how long it's been—one year on the dot
