last night eyewitnesses saw Oscar Belgal — the man shot by ICE with his 5 year old in the car — discharged from the hospital into ICE custody, with feds speeding off as NYPD cleared the roads for them of protesters. his attorneys don't know where he is; he's seemingly been taken out of NY state.

It's been 12+ hours since Border Patrol cut the tree sitter's platform and safety and stole her food & water. Ground support is now cut off by the wall and BP is the only US agency with access to provide life-saving aid. Please call Border Patrol public affairs now!

URGENT PHONE ZAP:
DEMAND WATER & FOOD TO TREE SITTER
Call BP Public Affairs Office immediately to demand they provide water and food to our brave tree sitter who has endured 56hr without water in the desert heat.

We demand you intervene now and bring her water and food.

Will save most of my thoughts for Signal, but I think we can expect this standoff to go into the night if not longer. Folks are needed in the Bronx now but ALSO please think about whether you can do a second/overnight shift because folks are going to run out of steam, need to go to work, etc.

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

did other people get a big check from the orange one in their mailboxes today? was it approved by congress or did he just illegally tell the treasury to cut these or what? I'm glad for the check but it doesn't come close to covering increases in gas, food, and healthcare in the last year

some people right now are feeling like "conservative voices" are silenced or oppressed. it's hard to imagine what could jolt a person out of this thinking if the gleeful takeover of every major form of media and university to celebrate caging, expulsion, & immiseration is not doing that for them.

People w Long COVID are stigmatized & ignored throughout society. In prison, it's a situation of almost total silence. Despite very high COVID infection rates, there's no talk abt Long COVID cases. That's a result of the way prisons treat medical needs in general. thesicktimes.org/2026/09/29/i...

I interviewed five people with Long COVID in prison. They are invisible in the system. - The Sick Times

While there are no data sources on Long COVID in prison, experts suspect rates of the disease may be higher there than in the general population. They face high reinfection risks and poor access to me...

this is a great thread! I'll add more here on mandatory reporting: if you have a broad mandatory reporting policy (more than legally necessary) at your job, that is a workplace issue you can and should organize around with coworkers. mandatory reporting does a lot of harm and very little good.
