If you need a script for getting your company off Twitter, I WROTE YOU ONE. Multiple people have used it, successfully, to explain the legal liability your company incurs by forcing employees to be on a platform with child sexual abuse material. I will help you use it. anildash.com/2026/02/23/t...

My friend Grace Pinson is a trans woman and jailhouse lawyer leaving federal prison next month after 23 years and needs funds to support her re-entry. She's a badass, but of course she shouldn't need to be to warrant support. Donate and share! @deanspade.bsky.social

Yes. Even in cities with Sanctuary Laws, local police routinely aid ICE by suppressing protests against them.

Local Police Departments Are Enabling ICE’s Deportation Machine
Even in cities where police decline to work with ICE, local law enforcement still bolster Trump’s deportation agenda.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Abolition Is Still the Only Way Out of This
Forget the useless so-called “reforms” to ICE and policing currently on offer. We need much more fundamental change.

Tell these weak-ass senators to vote NO on ICE/DHS funding! Reform is not enough. It needs to be destroyed! This immigration cruelty has got to go, especially when US imperialism is to blame for so much of the violence and resource plundering in the global South. share.jwj.org/s/Gq9mGwLd

We’re seeing a lot of the same dynamic nationally that happened here in MN post-George Floyd murder. The mass outcry across the world led to justice promised- then in time that was consciously morphed into a lot of toothless “reforms” that were easily ignored. Defund became extra-fund! (as you know)
