"Everyone is fair game." More than 300 students have apparently had their visas revoked in the 'Catch and Revoke' program for their solidarity with the right of Palestinians to exist. www.axios.com/2025/03/27/t...

Zoom in: The idea of prohibiting colleges from enrolling any student visa-holders grew out of Secretary of State Marco Rubio's "Catch and Revoke" program, which now is focusing on students who protested against the war in Gaza.

A senior State Department official called the demonstrators it's targeting "Hamasniks" — people the government claims have shown support for the terror group.
More than 300 foreign students have had their student visas revoked in the three weeks "Catch and Revoke" has been in operation, the official said. There are 1.5 million student visa-holders nationwide.
"Everyone is fair game," the official said.

Why does the songbird sing? Why does the autistic overshare? Why does the Black woman write at all? Because silence was never safety. Because our truths were always seen as threats. Because to write is to outlive what tried to bury us. To name what was done. To hold memory. 1/2 🧵

Why Writing Is Power Even When You Don’t Have the Words for the Feelings (Alexithymia)

As a survivor and autistic woman with alexithymia, I learned that facts can speak when feelings can’t. This is recordkeeping. This is clarity. This is for anyone who was silenced or told to forget.

Black History teaches that you can get soul food feasts out of slavery and big band jazz out of a great depression, so you probably shouldn't spent too much time ruminating on "we're cooked" posts written by white people. They'll come up with their own resilient joy in due time. It takes practice.

A good time to study maroon ways of knowing, moving (and fugitivity), and supporting each other. And I used to think they were only in the Caribbean but maroon communities grew anywhere people were enslaved. There have always been people who resisted and refused. #BlackSky

ICE is trying to deport Native American people to Mexico. This one from the Mescalero Apache Tribe. That's right. People indigenous to the United States, tribal members. ICE is trying to remove them from the US. This is the second verified incident I've heard about. We were here 1st. #ICE

On Mescalero Apache Tribe letterhead: MESCALERO Apache Tribe P.O. Box 227 108 Central Avenue Mescalero, New Mexico 88340 TRIBE Office: (575) 464-4494 Fax: (575) 464-9220 STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT THORA WALSH-PADILLA ON IMMIGRATION INCIDENT INVOLVING A TRIBAL MEMBER As of 3:45 PM this afternoon, the Tribe verified only a single incident where an ICE January 23, 2025 Mescalero, NM Last night and throughout the day today, I received multiple calls from concerned Mescalero Apache Tribal Members in relation to rumors of incidents involving Tribal Members and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. agent questioned a Tribal Member in a public place in Ruidoso. This incident occurred yesterday. ICE agents began questioning a family standing in line in front of the Tribal member. The family was escorted outside. Then, an ICE agent still inside the public place approached the Tribal Member in Spanish. The Tribal Member responded by stating the Tribal Member spoke English. The ICE agent asked the Tribal Member for a passport. The Tribal Member presented a picture of a New Mexico Driver's License and a Tribal identification card. The ICE agent did not continue questions at this point and exited. While this is the only incident we have been able to verify. Tribal leadership is actively working with the New Mexico Congressional Delegation to ensure that the rights of Tribal Members are protected. To be safe, be aware of your surroundings, let family members/friends know where you are, and keep identification with you at all times. If possible, then carry multiple forms of identification (driver's license, state-issued identification card, Tribal identification card, Certificate of Indian Blood, etc.).

This is what happens to trans women placed in men's prisons. They are subjected to daily horrific rapes and used as human chattel to pacify aggressive and violent inmates. It's called v coding.

Screenshot of a text explaining the term 'V-coding,' which refers to the practice of assigning trans women in men's prisons to cells with aggressive cisgender male inmates as a method of placation and control. The text describes the abuse trans women face, including sexual violence and coercion into exploitative relationships. It highlights statistics from a 2021 California study, showing high rates of sexual violence and forced 'marriage-like relationships' involving trans women prisoners. References and citations are included within the text."

Okay and this is why people are becoming so mean online. Because disencentivizing and erasing discourses is necessarily a violent process.

The threat of ICE has tons of people on high alert, the result is claims of ICE seen without firm or specific info people can actually use — & sometimes, no ICE at all. It’s never “ICE spotted in Queens,” but “4 SUVs labeled DHS seen parked on 57th & 59th in Maspeth at 2:34pm.” Be specific!
