“There is a big push to appease people complaining about homelessness by putting them in jail,” says a Tucson community organizer. “They seem to think that going through the criminal justice system will get them off drugs and into treatment.”

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

New from me @theintercept.com: the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s legacy will always be that of a tool of Israeli occupation and genocide, instrumental in the killings of 1000s of Palestinians and worsening a manufactured famine. Not whatever “success” GHF claims.

NEW: Federal prison workers are jumping ship & heading to ICE for better pay + bonuses. Already BOP lost >1400 people this year, reversing all of 2024’s staffing gains. It’s an unintended consequence of Trump’s push for mass deportations

NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

repulsive. i spent years talking my mother out of being an antivaxxer because she was desperate to point to any cause of my sister’s autism after being told by all her older relatives it was caused by her being a bad mother. just preying on desperate people to cause preventable harm and death.
The CDC has updated its vaccine safety page to promote long-discredited claims about vaccines—namely that they cause autism.

The page links to a number of studies, including one by anti-vax allies of Robert Kennedy Jr.

Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!
