Record numbers of people are dying in ICE detention, and it isn't just because record numbers of people are being detained. The death rate per 10k people detained has skyrocketed under this administration. This piece is well worth your time: www.sfchronicle.com/projects/202...
Bar chart titled 'ICE deaths per 10K average daily population,' sourced from ICE data via the Vera Institute of Justice and SF Chronicle research. The chart shows annual death rates in ICE custody from 2015 through 2026. The 2026 rate is projected at 8.4 deaths per 10,000 — the highest on record and higher than the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic peak of 6.9 — based on 58 projected deaths among a population of 69,000. The 2025 rate was 5.9 deaths per 10,000 (33 deaths among 56,000). Earlier years ranged from a low of 1.2 in 2022 to a high of 3.3 in 2016. A note on the chart states that 2026 is on track to have a higher death rate than during the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2026 figure is projected from data through March 10, 2026.

The mass repression of student protesters under Biden set the stage for Trump's on-campus escalations, which have, indeed, stifled student protest during a crucial moment. Everyone who supported that repression should feel guilty and foolish now, and the people who perpetrated it deserve worse.

I was having a convo this week about what it looks like when someone is communicating in bad faith. If I have to explain that again soon, this could be a useful visual aid.

Today my students discussed whether and to what extent Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism play a similar structural role in Europe to the role antisemitism played in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Then the Israeli Foreign Ministry just goes and tweets out an Islamophobic octopus.
Tweet from the Israel Foreign Ministry: "The Iranian regime is the mastermind of a global terror network.

With its long-range missiles & through the IRGC and its proxies - Hezbollah, Hamas, PIJ, the Houthis - it fuels chaos and bloodshed far beyond its borders, from the Middle East to Europe and beyond.

The Iranian regime is the greatest threat to world peace and the free world."

Over and over, the patterns repeat
After he's shot three times, Martinez is seen being pulled from his vehicle, thrown to the ground by an ICE agent, face down, and then handcuffed. Personnel on the scene are not seen in the video providing medical care until after he is handcuffed.

An excerpt from a Smithsonian article about violet Gibson which reads, “In his lifetime, just four people managed to launch successful assassination attempts against Benito Mussolini, the infamous fascist dictator who brought Italy into World War II and inspired Adolf Hitler.”

noticing that if what donald trump wants is violence in the streets, and citizens are responsible for making sure that doesnt happen, the conclusion being made is that ICE agents are not performing violence in the streets because the state doesnt count as “violence”

If you are using Signal, and you are doing something the government considers illegal, the way they are going to read your messages about it is they'll arrest the person you sent the messages *to* and make them show the logs. We see this technique appear repeatedly in "Jan. 6" court filings.

7 minutes between these posts. It’s awe-inspiring to witness the mind of a liberal in action.
Don Moynihan quote skeet saying:

He was quoting Max Granger who said:

Suspension of due process, total militarization of the country, mass arbitrary imprisonment, mass torture and death in custody...Don Moynihan quote skeet saying:
Guy who did crime wore baseball hat to avoid being caught on camera. Lets ban all hats.
He was quoting Yashar Ali who said:
New York Congressman Ritchie Torres is suggesting that mask wearing should be banned on subways.
For over two decades, people in Asian countries have frequently worn masks on subways with no issue.

Inbox: ‘Wanted’ posters of healthcare CEOs wheatpasted around lower Manhattan ahead of today’s Goldman Sachs Financial Services conference. “Those who would steal from us have names, faces, and addresses. Justice will only come from the working class,” per anon communique.
wanted posters on a light post taken at night of Steve Nelson, president of Aetna, David Joyner, president & CEO of CVS Health. Both feature photos of the execs with three bullets labeled DENY, DEFEND, DEPOSE detailing the wrongs of the healthcare industry (but not legible enough in the picture to transcribe).


“Healthcare CEOs should not feel safe. Deny - Defend - Depose” it says at the bottom.Wanted posters of Marianne Lake, Denis Coleman, Brian Moynihan, Robin Vince in similar format as others, on a wall.Wanted poster of Brian Thompson with an X through his photo featuring the same bulleted text as the others.

“Healthcare CEOs should not feel safe. Deny - Defend - Depose” it says at the bottom.Communique:
On Wednesday morning over thirty CEOs will gather at the Conrad hotel for the second day of the Goldman Sachs Financial Services conference to discuss how they can become richer by extracting wealth, time, and energy from the working class from all over the world. 
To welcome them, anon actionists put up wanted posters of the leeches attending the conference, including Martin Smalls of Black Rock, Robin Vince of BNY Mellon, Denis Coleman of Goldman Sachs, and of course, Brian Thompson, the former CEO of United Healthcare.
These CEOs run companies that control trillions of dollars by stealing money, time, and labor from the working class. Do they care about the problems of poverty, homelessness, and injustice at these conferences? No, and their actions are violent. 
Health insurance companies (like financial services companies) don’t provide us with anything useful - they only limit our access to healthcare. Those who would steal from us have names, faces, and addresses. Justice will only come from the working class.

Very important to remember: Biden and Blinken are Yoon's biggest supporters because he has become their pawn in their militaristic trilateral alliance with Japan. Blinken has suggested that Yoon get the Nobel Peace Prize. Washington is deeply in bed with this fascist, just as in South Korea's past.

The so-called Israeli Left: “Israelis have a right to return to the homes they stole from Palestinians in the last two generations, and we should use the military that is currently carrying out a genocide to defend their ability to do so. Also I am against settler-colonialism” Fucking idiot.
A screenshot from a Zionist article by +972 magazine, reading: “Hamas or Hezbollah, I long for the return of the hostages, and I hope that the tens of thousands of Israelis displaced from the north and the south can go home as soon as possible. These positions are self-evident to me both as a leftist and as an Israeli — as my immediate family, my friends, and l are also affected by this reality and living through missile and drone attacks.”

So liberals expect me to believe that our barbaric warlord enemy in Russia can hit a military target from 500 miles away with an ICBM (or IRBM per rumors) and wound only 15 people, but when Israel blows up a refugee camp full of children and mothers and kills hundreds, that’s just collateral damage?
