Just came over to Bluesky to keep up with some reporters, news sites, and commentators. (It's great for setting up lists of news & trusted sources to read.) Not expecting to run a feed here but may comment on articles.

Save this. Share it. Spread the word. My office officially launched a new portal with Governor Healey to report violence and unlawful ICE activity here in MA. This will help us keep track of incidents for potential legal action, help us gather data, and connect victims with resources and support.
My 30th Red Resistance Hat, @woollywormhead.bsky.social ‘s A Hat to Make a Point striped pixie with knotted i-cord tassel, inspired by Needle & Skein’s #MeltTheICEHat which has raised over $700k thru them, plus countless funds for immigrant rights/aid world wide!
I’ve given all of mine away locally, asking recipients to share that they’ve made a new donation to immigrant rights/aid funds… with the one exception of this hat for myself! @woollywormhead.bsky.social ‘s Pixie Flora plus tassel, using @darngoodyarn.bsky.social reclaimed silk yarn
Some of the 25 red hats I've knit so far (26th is on the needles!) along with 10s of mini hats as pins or bag charms. I've been giving them away locally to friends & protesters in exchange for their direct donations to immigrant rights/aid funds. (patterns in alt text & links @ ravel.me/neithj/psct)
February 26 is an important date in the history of resistance, and it has to do with knitters during WWII. Come read the story. If you’re a knitter, maybe you’ll want to cast on with me tomorrow? And if you aren’t, there are other ideas for you here. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos. I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.
Judge Ellis derides Greg Bovino as a serial fabulist who brazenly lied on the stand and seemingly considered it funny to perjure himself. cst.brightspotcdn.com/49/34/daecfb...

Denaturalization… Earlier I had read that they were expected to target those naturalized in the past 10 years, now this article implies free speech and political action may create more targets, no matter how long they’ve been citizens. www.vox.com/politics/418...

Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?
'...both circumventing the Convention Against Torture and giving the administration a cruel new weapon in its immigration crackdown.' NO judicial review www.vox.com/scotus/41616...

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

What makes these soulless idiots so horrifying is that they're not only effectively turning off the life support system for millions of Americans, with this & similar moves, they're channeling the funds saved into their own pockets & those of other billionaires. 🤬

Floridians were preparing new initiatives on behalf of Medicaid expansion, abortion rights, and other issues on the ballot. But a new law makes these efforts a lot tougher, threatening volunteers with investigations and criminal punishment. boltsmag.org/florida...

BREAKING: A federal judge in Texas — appointed by Donald Trump himself — has just ruled that Trump's controversial attempt to invoke the Alien Enemies Act to carry out mass deportations is unlawful.
If you are on apple news you can also read it here apple.news/AUh94aMx5T8i... They told at least one of the mothers to bring her children to the appointment, then denied access to lawyers or choices.
Undocumented mothers and their U.S. born children were deported. Attorneys for the families say federal immigration agents planned everything. "She was trying to get ahold of a phone to try to call her family and her attorney. But she wasn’t being allowed.”

"The National Museum of African American History and Culture is not a place that traffics in improper ideology," Clint Smith writes. "It is a museum that recognizes that America has been suffused in improper ideologies for most of its history."

The Trump administration has a legal attack plan to push the Supreme Court to bless his power to deport more people with fewer judicial restraints. "We really do want to push the court — ultimately the Supreme Court — to take a stand."
