For @truthout.org I wrote an analysis of the mass deportation boom during 2025. Amid all the spectacle, the passage of the funding bill in July was an ominous milestone in the history of U.S. immigration policy and the Trump administration's aspiring fascism. truthout.org/articles/tru...

Trump Has Made ICE the Largest Law Enforcement Agency in the Country
With Congress-approved funding, ICE detention is expected to triple in size, mirroring the scale of Japanese internment.

“Since the mirror of gentrification is representation in popular culture, increasingly only the gentrified get their stories told in mass ways. They look in the mirror and think it's a window, believing that corporate support for and inflation of their story is in fact a neutral and accurate picture of the world. If all art, politics, entertainment, relationships, and conversations must maintain that what is constructed and imposed by force is actually natural and neutral, then the gentrified mind is a very fragile parasite.”

This is 100% true, just as the press spent ZERO time on the attempted mass assassination of the entirety of democratic leadership through pipe bombs just a few years ago. It’s literally never even discussed! A MAGA terrorist tried to kill all of the leading dems!

NOT. SWIM GOGGLES. Friends. Do not wear swim goggles at a protest. If you take a projectile to the face the force can pop your eyeball out of its socket. If you're going to invest in protest eyewear, use impact resistant safety goggles and tape the vents.

Mobilization has also been nationwide. Anecdotal evidence suggests that some activists are intentionally demonstrating in their local town rather than just traveling to a nearby big city for events.

one thing about Abolish ICE in this moment is people can see how it’s not going to happen through Congress, but through people’s own ongoing actions, whether that’s legal remedies to free people from detention, coming together to monitor ICE arrests and activity—delegitimizing ICE day in and day out

My take on "Protect The Dolls" is that the shirts support a suicide hotline and yeah maybe it's performative for most but it also gives trans rights a unique cultural cache that's basically impossible to replicate intentionally so I am for the t-shirt tysm
