UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

The threat of ICE has tons of people on high alert, the result is claims of ICE seen without firm or specific info people can actually use — & sometimes, no ICE at all.

It’s never “ICE spotted in Queens,” but “4 SUVs labeled DHS seen parked on 57th & 59th in Maspeth at 2:34pm.”

Be specific!

Their research found that patrons experience refuge, joy, connection, purpose, and expansion through their library use.

Is this why libraries are such a threat?

My newsletter is FREE because it's not cool to paywall political content in a political crisis.

But if you appreciate any of the work I've done over the last decades, consider joining as a paid subscriber, so it can continue. Thank you!

this reminds me of the documentary The Grab (2022) and how wealthy countries are carving up the resources of the planet to continue hoarding for themselves as climate change and fascism worsen survival chances for everyone else
“He delights in the fact that those around him fear his power—and not only that, but that they perceive he will wield it arbitrarily. He loves that they know the old ties—allegiances, treaties, laws, norms—will not protect them. If they are to prosper, they must pay obeisance to the king.”
Take Trump’s Greenland Obsession Seriously
Trump’s thirst for expansion isn’t a sideshow. It’s the foreign-policy expression of his core political impulse: bullying.

Annual New Year’s Eve noise demo at MDC Brooklyn, partial compilation (full linked below).

About 100 gathered to make noise and remind people locked inside that they are not alone and to advocate for improved conditions — such as functional plumbing.

every new restaurant in every major city is either called Thistle+Thorn and thinks adding turmeric to brussel sprouts makes them worth $30 or is called Burger Bitch and has a neon sign in the window that says “im gonna fuck a hamburger”

It’s not enough to control everything about our lives and live in idle luxury off our labor—the rich demand adoration as well. But if people really understand their parasitic position in society, that’s out of the question.

This is useful as what it says it is: the beginning of a roadmap.

Key takeaways: Don’t reinvent the wheel, emphasize multiple tactics, and community is everything.
So, I read smart people.

There is a playbook for this next chapter.

I believe we can do this. It won’t be easy, but the map is there.

My favorite thing when reading Long Walk to Freedom was that Mandela made me think he was incidental to the struggle- a bystander as a community of people did the real work, and he *happened* to be there. It was the community he joined and helped create, and he was a face. Nothing happens alone

does anyone have proof of #luigi himself actually claiming responsibility for any of these documents being labeled as his #manifesto

that's what I'm really curious about right now

I hope it will all come out in the trial, but knowing this legal system.... 👀there will not be a fair outcome

Every time I see this man I'm going to remind everyone who will listen that his career started under Obama where he was ICE's head of deportations & innovated a policy of separating children from parents as a migration deterrent. Obama gave him a Presidential Rank Award for Distinguished Executives.
