This is an incredible labour of love.
Do read the thread as well as it has some important points to know.
Much of my youth revolved around the website ZineLibrary. It went down around Occupy in a massive loss for a movement whose ideas and knowledge mostly doesn't circulate online but in person.

Anyway I've put it back online with a *thousand* anarchist zines:

'Political Prisoner' Leqaa Kordia Has Been Hospitalized, DHS Says. After Calling 16 Hospitals, Her Lawyers Say They Can't Find Her.
The Columbia University protester had a fever when lawmakers tried to visit her last month — and her health is declining fast.

DHS is just a relic from the overreaction to 9/11 and all the opportunistic skullduggery that took advantage of it. There was never any need for it. Let it be dead. Its abrupt dissolution will be a bit chaotic but fuck it we ball.

Hey remember the shooting in Minneapolis that happened between Renee Good and Alexi Pretti, the guy they claimed was shot by an agent after he had attacked that agent with a shovel? I know it's hard to believe but the agents' story fell apart and charges were dropped. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/u...

Why am I never going to shut up about how terrible Gavin Newsom is? Because I don't like this cross-platform inorganic effort to shut people up about how he much he sucks. I'm not letting a bunch of bots tell me what to do. It's pure oppositional defiance. Lol

I need folks to understand this. The idea that local police forces will intervene at scale against ICE is a utopian fantasy totally disconnected from how policing has always worked
Police departments across the US are quietly leveraging school district security cameras to assist Donald Trump’s mass immigration enforcement campaign, an investigation by @the74.bsky.social reveals.

The state can no longer saddle defendants with court fees when charges are dismissed. Prosecutors are backing legislation to restore them.

all the media being stenographers for the feds and just repeating the drawdown nonsense should go to the whipple building today so they can see the same amount of masked men leaving in convoys of vehicles, and whatever this is too, and report accurately what’s happening on the ground in minnesota
So this is weird. The National Guard is staging at the Whipple building this morning. This is what you do when preparing for a mission.

Publicly available data indicates that as of today, ICE is still holding Chicago resident Juan Espinoza Martinez, acquitted 3 weeks ago of the charge he put a murder hit on Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino, in Clay County, Indiana.

Like let's stop talking about this as though it's some unpredictable force of nature instead of decisions made by individuals with agency! People CHOSE this!
"Under Trump’s second term, women have been pushed out of the workforce in alarming numbers, with Black women experiencing it in the most extreme form"

btw he's not posting this because he actually DOESN'T understand why people would be wearing masks in 2026.

he's posting this because he doesn't like that people are doing it, and he wants his massive following to also question it and go after people for doing it.

e-genocide
I hope folks have been documenting how Bsky targets and silences Palestinians during an active genocide. In any sane, just world, this would be seen as Nazi collaboration, and they'd be held accountable. Maybe one day it will happen if we get that far.

I want to hear from my Palestinian hermanos and hermanas. Everything my father told me about Guatemala, what I myself saw there, I see in them. They deserve dignity as we all do.
somehow there's an update... and it's not a great look. it shouldn't be the case that the admin react when there's an outcry then just don't change whatever system they've got in place anyway.

The US kidnaps, traffics and cages its own children at the absolute highest rates in the whole world by a very wide margin

And people wonder how we could be where we currently are
North America as a whole cages 35 kids for every 100k kids

The US? 49 kids per 100k overall

Latino kids? 57

Indigenous kids? 181

Black kids? 228

really interesting to me how many professional political commentators have basically retconned the draconian immigration enforcement policies of Obama and Biden out of existence and have completely swallowed the right wing narrative of immigration enforcement
