WTF! The Trump administration plans to review (with the intent to remove or eliminate) some of the nation’s wildlife refuges and fish hatcheries. Agency director Brian Nesvik ordered officials to identify refuges/hatcheries whose purpose the administration claims “no longer aligns with the mission.”

ICE unlawfully grabbed our client Rümeysa Öztürk off the street and sent her to a for-profit detention center in Louisiana — all for an op-ed she co-authored in her student paper.

What happened to Rümeysa is part of a broader crackdown on the First Amendment and immigrants' rights.
Tufts grad student Rümeysa Öztürk did nothing wrong. The Trump administration went after her anyway. - The Boston Globe
In March, masked agents swarmed her on a Somerville street. The crackdown on foreign scholars was just beginning.

Today I am grateful that my sick body still works. Today, I am grateful for my capacity to heal my body, my spirit, and my relationships. Today, I am grateful to know the wisdom and peace that comes from ceremony, needed now more than ever in this poorly paced society. Today, Im grateful for Winter.

This is the game plan for how NSPM-7 will be rolled out. Especially worrisome is the detail that allows them to retroactively investigate orgs from the past 5 years.

@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.

This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

If you're someone with integrity who truly wants to make a difference, there are people out there who will hurt you in ways that make you never want to speak out or stand up for yourself again. And they will hurt you simply because they can.

Personally, I'm sick of dealing with this. Stay tuned.

ICE is terrorizing immigrant communities who have no criminal record. Local, honest immigrant workers are scared on a daily basis as ICE vans show up throughout Albany. Let's show Home Depot that we strongly condemn their cooperation with ICE. This bold action takes courage, we know you can do it!

Potential new WA legislation around #ALPR data retention & access.

However, it feels like this might only end up further normalizing this form of mass surveillance and make cities more comfortable installing such infrastructure.

Just ban ALPRs entirely! 🚫
