one time at a party, my friend went to the bathroom and i for some reason quickly offered a stranger a dollar to call her a nerd when she emerged from the bathroom, which was bewildering for her and very funny for all (including her, was not mean) what i'm saying is, i'm gonna do this to you next

In July, I took a ride through the Arizona desert with Verlon Jose, chairman of the Tohono O’odham Nation, a sprawling reservation on the U.S.-Mexico border that may soon be changed forever. It was the beginning of an investigation that ProPublica is publishing today. THREAD ⬇️

Modi has lost it. "The govt has responded by massively increasing the security presence in the capital. Around thirty thousand police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed, internet services have been disrupted, trains to Delhi have been cancelled, metro stations and roads have been closed."

I kept thinking the Cuni guy (Bronx shooter) looked familiar and then I realized I saw him last year at the ICE raid in Chinatown, where he was pretty front and center. Dude loves the attention

I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

If you’re in the streets tonight remember to memorize or have a written phone number for someone NOT at the protest in case of arrest. NLG NYC is also a place to check in if arrested or if witnessing arrests (try and get name of person being arrested): 212-679-6018

From Minneapolis to y'all: Three quick bursts if you see ICE. Long loud blasts if they're actively detaining someone. Form a crowd, stick together, and film everything.

I think there's something useful about this being all out in the open. People will see the barbarism first hand, no euphamisms. Straight up USian unadulterated violence in public view.

I’ve only consumed a couple of pieces of artistic retrospectives on Metro Surge - in both cases becuase my flight tracking work was included. I had been dreading this, as I was scared it was going to rip open some scabs, but it hit me as a thoughtful reminder of the time, and not a bayonet to guts.
