How can an immigrant from Guatemala be my enemy? All they are doing is trying to make a life for themselves the same as me. The same forces that make their lives hard are the same ones driving our prices up. I hope all of us can make it this this together and band together to take our power back.

In Trump’s America. How are other people surviving? I have seen all the charts…homelessness is on the rise, people are late on car loans and mortgages, increasingly eating Hamburger Helper. I do not know how we do it, but we have got to figure out how to organize by class. /6

I got the kind of job that was supposed to mean you could have the kind of prosperity that MOST Americans had in the 50s-80s. I am not asking for sympathy and I can afford the things I need and I am very grateful for that.

It’s just…I did everything right and I can’t really afford to live /5

In Trump’s America, I have had to take on outside consulting work to maintain my standard of living.

There is no way to game this system I am here to tell you. In the early 2000s, when they were telling unemployed coal miners “to learn to code”… I actually did that.

I work in tech. /4

Spending more time organizing them than maintaining the tracker. This has to be an endurance play and I find volunteers to be unsustainable (for me, who is an introverted data nerd and reluctant leader).
I do this as a volunteer and I have less time because drumroll please… /3

3. I have less time now. I used to update the tracker daily, but now I screenshot stories when I see them and then do a big batch of data entry when I can. The update schedule is more like bi-monthly (every two weeks). I don’t want volunteers. I had a lot of volunteers at one point and I was /2

Someone left a comment to say “please don’t stop”. I don’t post here with frequency but I am still maintaining the tracker. A few things have changed: 1. It’s just me now (but this is preferred, I’ll explain) 2. The novelty of ICE’s brutality has worn off and there aren’t as many news stories /1

Big news out of the Senate today: a ring of nude old men has summoned the Devil on the chamber floor. The wood splintered apart and the carpet tore asunder as Satan's great crooked fingers pulled open the rift, and HE looked through it with his titanic unblinking eyeball of crimson and smoke.

👀✈️ Eswatini. Not confirmed, but likely people were transferred in Djibouti to military plane operated without visibility

Tom Cartwright @tomcartwright.bsky.social · Jul 15

✈️👀Journey Air N588AT just landed at Djibouti at 1 PM Eastern and 8 PM local. Mission unknown and if a deportation it is unknown to where, and if it will be this plane, or if people will be transferred to a military plane operating in invisible dark mode like the one to South Sudan.

Its too big to open with Excel, so you will need pandas or r to read it drive.google.com/file/d/1aI6s... but most importantly, the data is so detailed, we can find individuals, even though they are deidentified. I have started the process of find every publically named person and linking/2

The more than 700 people detained at so-called "Alligator Alcatraz" (Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport) have been added to the tracker. The Miami Hearld obtained the names. The Miami Hearld has been better than almost anyone on ICE coverage since Jan. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Is your family member or client at Alligator Alcatraz? We obtained a list

The Trump and DeSantis administrations have refused to release a roster of detainees, none of whom seem to appear in ICE’s online database.

Seco
nd Iranian whose location is not being disclosed

Data Against Fascism @dataagainstfascism.bsky.social · Jun 28

currently, you cannot look up at least one of the detained Iranians on the ICE locator system. Usually when facility is blank it says to contact ICE. Never seen it blank before.

The 24 hours of posting the names of the disappeared is over.

I am looking for a civil rights attorney who wants to get into some “good trouble” if you are them or you know one, DMs are open.
