HALF of all transfers into ICE custody in one county were charged with driving without a license – a misdemeanor.
For most in the U.S., a traffic stop means paying a fine. But for non-citizens, something so minor can mean detention and deportation.
Zohran Mamdani and Rama Duwaji at the mayoral inauguration on 1 January 2026
New York belongs to all those who live in it! I started 2026 at Mamdani’s #inauguration, and had to sketch this out.
“Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”
Happy Zohran day!
Excellent new report on the need to defund the Berlin Police. (Available in English)
Während der Berliner Senat an allen Ecken und Enden kürzt, fließt immer mehr Geld in die Polizei. Mit @justicecollective.bsky.social haben wir den Etat näher unter die Lupe genommen und fordern eine radikale Umverteilung.

Berlin hat mehr Polizei pro Einwohner*in als NYC oder London. Und das ist ziemlich teuer: Personalkosten machen ca. 3/4 des jährlichen Polizeibudgets aus. Und es geht noch weiter: 2026/27 sind weitere 1.224 neue Stellen geplant. Zu lesen in unserem Bericht www.racismontrial.org/de/blog/news...
I'm excited to announce that I have been asked to join the Mamdani Transition Team to work on community safety issues. A New Era for NYC.
Zohran showed that a socialist can take City Hall—but the ruling class still forced him to keep Jessica Tisch at the NYPD. For Zohran to fight the police unions and win, the Left has to build power beyond the ballot box.

Wow, a Long Island jury awarded $112 Million to 674 immigrants who were unlawfully held by county police so they could be handed over to ICE
Im Fokus: 17 Bedienstete der Frankfurter Polizei. Die Ermittler durchsuchten vier Dienststellen und 21 Privatadressen. Gegen die Verdächtigen werde wegen des Verdachts der Körperverletzung im Amt, der Strafvereitelung im Amt sowie der Verfolgung Unschuldiger ermittelt.
No please don’t say that
NEW — The remaining American members of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla being held in Israeli prison have been freed, a family member of one confirmed to me. They were driven to the Jordanian border and will be staying the night in Jordan before flying home.
Video of them today saying “Free Palestine”:
Following the violent interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla on 2 October, David Adler, Co-General Coordinator of the Progressive International, and dozens of crew members remain in detention.
Break the siege. Free the Crew. Release David.

Even on the government's own terms, this is less about justice than it is about feeding penal populism. Shame.
Maybe of interest, thinking about Block and a possible new paradigm: www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/ame...
Kolleg*innen aus Forensik, Sozialwissenschaft und Rechtswissenschaft haben, in Anlehnung an die Arbeit der Kommission zu Oury Jalloh, einen umfassenden Bericht zur Tötung von Nzoy vorgelegt. So sieht Aufklärung aus, von "unten" und selbstorganisiert: www.borderforensics.org/investigatio...

Weeks after a farmworker died from injuries sustained during a chaotic immigration raid at a CA cannabis farm, today a man fleeing an ICE raid at a Home Depot was struck and killed by a car on the freeway, also in CA.
This is unconscionable. And illegal.

When? Let's meet up. (And I'd like to attend.)
Making us less safe, one Executive Order after another.
And calls for data-sharing, presumably so that people identified as having mental health issues can be targeted for criminalization.
