[St Lucian Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre confirmed that “people had lost their lives”, but clarified that he had received no official notification on these circumstances to date.. burnt hulls of at least two fishing vessels had surfaced off St Lucia over the weekend, following US strikes]
[Even if ICE leaves tomorrow, the long threads of what has happened here will reverberate. These kids will remember. The families torn apart will never be the same. The people hiding out at home – when will they feel enough trust to leave again? I don’t know how you unwind this.]
It’s 2026. There is a measles outbreak in the prison for babies
Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps
[As a combat soldier, I recognize a mission when I see one — not because it’s announced, but because it’s being carried out. ICE and Border Patrol operations in Minneapolis have resulted in the deaths of two Minnesotans...Either this is their mission — or they are operating outside accountability]
If you think they’re building more detention facilities, increasing mass surveillance, and growing the size of ICE just to deport undocumented immigrants, then you haven’t been paying attention.
Continuing to fund ICE is enabling what we all know is coming next.
[ICE plans to use up to 23 warehouses around the country to detain immigrants in even more cities, including in Minnesota, Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. ]
According to journalist Andrea Pitzer, the mass incarceration of civilians outside of the law is a clear sign.
You’ll feel less confused if you admit to yourself that some people don’t care about the suffering of others, and some people like it.
I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.
[DHH began packing groceries when the immigration operation started back in December. They had families register if they needed groceries delivered. In the first day, 2,000 families registered. Now, they have more than 24,000 families registered and there is a waitlist.]
Gender studies on the ground in Minnesota.
"The Minnesota slaughter is not so much a first, but particularly shocking for being captured on video."
Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.
The demonization of Somalis is no different than the demonization of Haitians before the election. It's a political attack and has to be actively fought—not through half-measures or expressions of tepid concern but by demanding decency from society and respect for all of humanity.
So much for that whole false narrative about only "criminal illegals"...

[“’There’s not a day that goes by where you don’t feel that human suffering in our communities, and at the same time, I’ve seen communities organize here in ways that I haven’t seen in all my years of organizing"]
[Instead of the region being under the dominion of multiple hegemonic European powers, the objective is to bring the entire hemisphere under the single hegemony of the United States]

“We are targeting Venezuela because of DRUGS, not OIL, which is why we are blowing up boats without any drugs and stealing a tanker full of oil.”

“It confirms what we already knew — this was not about public safety, it’s about stoking chaos and fear and terrorizing communities,” said state Sen. Royce Duplessis.
[Losada, in the radio clip (cited by US Department of War contacts), said, “American military forces have installed an AN/TPS-80 G/ATOR system in Trinidad and Tobago. The surveillance system primarily functions as aerial surveillance but officials say it can be used in US conflict with Venezuela.”]
I think people think I’m joking when they ask what they can do to support my career and I say literally download my research. And teach/cite it. Or send it to someone who can.
It’s truly a major one.
Let’s be serious… citations are currency…
