Getting started with Mahmoud Khalil’s book event, in conversation with @premthakker.bsky.social, at the beautiful Parkway Theatre.

An incredible old movie palace, restored in ways that preserve the traces of time. Two men sit on the stage, with the words “no land to stand on: notes from detention” projected behind them

ICE’s ERO ONE is official. The agency is looking for 140+ intel analysts to work nationwide to locate immigrants, map their social networks, and help plan arrest operations.

ICE plans intel units in every field office to research immigrants, map who they know

ERO ONE would task them with researching individuals and charting their associates for the agents who carry out arrests and deportations.

A letter from the mother of Alex Pretti, six months after he was murdered by ICE.

suzpretti
18 hours ago

Today marks the six-month anniversary of Alex's murder. No one has been held accountable, no apologies, not a single phone call from any governmental official, hospital personnel, or the mpls police dept. Six-months of pain, a roller-coaster of trauma over and over. Every time another a death, another mention, a picture, a tribute, a sorrow so deep. I wonder how to move forward. Will I ever get over this loss and this pain?
Will I ever be able to enjoy life again? How does one live knowing that I have no power to change what has happened?

And yet the outreach not only from Minnesota, but from around the world has been nothing less than spectacular. Every card, every gift, every heartfelt letter has been read, touched, held, and cherished by us all. The kindness you've all shown us is beyond words. Please never forget Alex and what he believed in ~ equality and peace for all. I will remember the things that made you, you. It will never take your memory. As long as I'm here, you will never be forgotten.

For all you asking what you can do. Continue this fight. Never give up your right to speak out, protect your neighbor, your community and don't forget to spend time with those you love...
