Researchers from the African Digital Rights Network, who co-authored the report, “said there was no real evidence of these systems reducing crime and warned that they allow governments to monitor human rights activists and political opponents, arrest protesters and lead journalists to self-censor.”

Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered by ICE yesterday, was a published poet Indeed, she won the 2020 Academy of American Poets Prize for a piece called "On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs" It's beautiful and you can read it here: poets.org/2020-on-lear... The poem's conclusion is haunting me now
all my understanding dribbles down the chin onto the chest & is summarized as:



life is merely



to ovum and sperm



and where those two meet



and how often and how well



and what dies there.

ICE’s public violence should be a reminder that they commit brutal acts in private facilities too. Every report has been horrific and we only have the smallest glimpse into the horrors.

2025 was ICE’s deadliest year in two decades. Here are the 32 people who died in custody
The deaths came as the Trump administration ramped up immigration enforcement, detaining a record number of people

I have studied the targeting of journalists for many years, but the scale and public display of these killings is truly shocking: “Israel admits deliberate attack on the journalist, known for frontline coverage, in a strike on a tent outside al-Shifa hospital“ www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Je terminerais en disant juste que les classes politiques et médiatiques dominantes soutiennent un génocide, une famine organisée, le massacre d'enfants. On était dans la rue aujd et ça ne suffit pas, ne lâchez rien de ce combat, soyons forts, déterminés, radicaux jusqu'au bout.

As I detail in this post, part of Bukele's "truce" with MS-13 is to give them greater control over the prisons in which they are incarcerated. Which means that Abrego-Garcia was sent back to a country where he faced gang retaliation, into a confinement where MS-13 will have power over him

“Disappeared” is how Argentines and Chileans talk about the citizens kidnapped by military regimes of 80s and 90s. Today Mexicans use it to refer to those who vanish in the cartel war. “Disappear” is a verb, noun & adj: When ppl are disappeared, they become los desaparecidos—the disappeared

Hossam Shabat, a 23 year old journalist who documented the genocide of his people left a final message. shared by his team.
screenshot of @HossamShabat on twitter: This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message :

“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.

By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.

I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”

— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.
