Community members in Minneapolis have built a vast rapid response network; patrols; witness and response to ICE presence; large-scale food deliveries; and care webs for those who are left behind by ICE. Many of these systems sprung to life along the paths laid down by the George Floyd uprisings.

Divorcing oneself from respectability politics can be hard, especially when there are so many barriers to resources when you’re perceived as criminal or charged as such. There are no “good ones,” there are only people, fellow workers, co-strugglers.
When Everything Is Criminalized, We Must Unlearn the Language of “Innocence”
No one should be caged, tortured, detained, or deported by the state — all carceral violence is done wrongfully.

Today marks *1 year* since Israeli forces killed 26-year-old American Ayşenur Eygi.

Her family has heard nothing from Biden & Trump admins, and Israel.

State Dept. told us it has “no higher priority” than US citizens — but then referred us to Israel for info on Israel’s killing of the US citizen.

Israel carried out its plan to erase Gaza over the course of 18 months. Now that the plan has clearly fallen into place, the Netanyahu government is openly discussing ethnic cleansing. And still, Israel enjoys complete international impunity.

No one deserves deportation.

Imagine spending a half million dollars to attend Police State University, where you’ll get to experience NYPD brutality up close and where they might just revoke your degree for wrongthink even after you’ve graduated.
In a first for the Ivy League school, Columbia's new officers have the same powers of warrantless search and arrest as any other police officer under New York law. The state law permits the officers to use "physical force and deadly physical force in making an arrest or preventing an escape."
