After 30+ years working in America, Ester gave up a third of her life savings to self-deport to Mexico — terrified of being incarcerated by ICE. She's now separated from her daughter. Her story is the focus of Episode 2 of Fractured, a docuseries on the human toll of ICE enforcement.

The fact that someone with a documented history as a White House advisor can repeatedly use this language without any consequences demonstrates just how far this reactionary project to normalize racism and sexism has gotten, and how Black women are particularly targeted to advance it.

Yesterday ICE agents shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a father, husband, and beloved neighbor who spent 35 years building a life in the U.S. Our hearts are heavy with grief for his family and all those suffering at the hands of ICE, CBP, and this administration's unrelenting cruelty.
Graphic with text that says, "Lorenzo Salgado Araujo should not only still be alive  - he should be enjoying the beauty of the life he built." With a quote from Ronaldo Salgado that says, "My father was a private man, a man who dedicated his life to work. He worked the last 30 years of his life building homes in the Houston suburbs. Part of his dream was to build a house for himself and his family, just like the hundreds he had built for himself over his career... He achieved it and after it was built and up until the last weekend, you can find him every evening after work, resting on his porch, listening to music, petting his dog. That's how I want the world to know my father. Not as someone who got shot and killed, but as a family man, a man who understood that good things come to those who put in hard work. I am deeply heartbroken to see that the man who taught me the value of hard work, family values, and education will no longer spend an evening on that porch."

BREAKING: Texas State Fires Professor over Palestine Speech Philosopher Idris Robinson is being fired for having principles. He gave a talk on Palestinian resistance. He would not condemn it. Over a year later, TXST terminates his tenure-track contract. But he's fighting back.🧵
Idris Robinson screen-capture from his seminal How It Might Should Be Done public talk. Text: As for Hamas, Robinson told the Guardian: “I definitely do not condemn the violence used by the Palestinian resistance. Palestinians have not been accused of perpetrating genocide, while the Israelis have been found guilty of doing so by the UN, Amnesty International and others. So the issue of whether I support violence or not is a ridiculous and immature question at this point.”

In any case, Robinson added, his main claim in both the talk and the question-and-answer session was that “the Palestinian people are not just passive victims. They have agency and there’s something to be learned from people who’ve been struggling for 75 years … about emancipatory political transformation.”

As it stands, GEO is poised to rake in tens of billions of federal dollars for detaining immigrants over the next four years; and thanks to the Trump admin installing a top GEO executive at ICE, the company appears to have kept its competitors from profiting anywhere near as much.

As @projectsaleos.bsky.social reported on Friday, GEO just got a huge boost via a complex Navy procurement system tapped to disburse most of the $45 billion it got last year — allowing ICE to give it contracts with no competitive bids. Notably, GEO's competitors did not get similar treatment.
