The Massachusetts Department of Correction has been fighting me for months, trying to withhold data about its collaboration with ICE.
Yesterday, I won that fight, and obtained records showing that the state has transferred more than 2,000 people into ICE custody since 2009.
A quick thread:
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.
Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.
It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal."
She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%!

Trump’s war against Iran is illegal and a betrayal of the American people.
Congress cannot allow Trump to drag yet another generation into a forever war.
if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

I have no regard for a man who rips parents away from children, deports families, & imprisons our babies.
That's why I'm boycotting today's #SOTU & instead shedding light on the stories of our children terrorized by ICE.
Because our children deserve a childhood free from fear.
This Anthropic and Pentagon standoff is not getting enough attention. Anthropic is prepared to walk away from a $200M contract because they’re concerned about how the Pentagon wants to use their tech for autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. We are at a dangerous intersection.
BREAKING: Thanks to pressure from residents and local advocates, bipartisan opposition from local state leaders, and opposition from people across the Granite State, plans for an ICE human warehouse in Merrimack have been officially stopped.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.
She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.
Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Watching other countries actually make their leaders and powerful men face consequences with jealousy.

NEW: I am filing a brief urging the courts to preserve the block on Trump’s unlawful termination of temporary protected status for our Haitian community.
