The revelations came out in a federal court case brought by Democratic states challenging ICE's access to Medicaid data to aid in deportation efforts. n.pr/4f9OdMn

A million years ago, White House interference in IRS audits was considered an impeachable offense

NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

By far the best thing about the Great American State Fair is that DC statehood activists have infiltrated it (with official permission!) and are lobbying attendees to support their cause. I saw several MAGA tourists receiving the polite but vigorous spiel for DC statehood and it warmed my heart.

GUIDE: Welcome to the Great American State Fair! TOURIST: Incredible! And which state are we in right now? GUIDE: (violently shaking their head) Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"Venezuela's government said the number of people killed rose to 1,430 Saturday morning and families reported at least 68,900 people missing, three days after the one-two punch of 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes that devastated the South American nation." www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...

When gas costs surged this yr, @wsdot.wa.gov maintenance staff ditched cars to start a scooter crew. They meet up on light rail & coast to work on protected bike lanes. Those lanes used to annoy them. But now? “The bike lanes are actually pretty good,” one told me. “We are on board. We want more.”

Amie Stager writes about the jarring juxtaposition between Minnesota labor being honored as brave at the AFL-CIO convention, and then Minnesota unionists and community members facing federal indictment just 7 days later.

JUST IN: 🇪🇸🇳🇱 Spain and the Netherlands to deploy rescue teams to Venezuela.

Venezuela has been hit by a devastating earthquake while the USA are holding their President hostage and stealing their oil. The USA should pay with all their stolen money to rebuild Venezuela.

Would Blanche be able to move any federal prisoner from one prison to another every few weeks/months? Is there any requirement for notifications to family &/or lawyers? Could Cong. legislate against this before it happens? These fascists are so exhausting. @krhawkins.bsky.social

No matter how many people are talking about this, it is not enough people talking about this.

This is slavery, facilitated by state human trafficking.

Retaliations continue at Adelanto as guards in full riot gear allegedly storm cells and disappear detainees who spoke with Congress members. @lataco.bsky.social

I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.

Internal ICE records reveal widespread use of force in detention centers The reports detail how guards have increasingly used chemical agents and physical tactics on detainees, including groups demanding adequate water, food and medical care.

Overnight this Omni ICE flight landed in Guam, where it sat for 7+ hours, before continuing west. It is about to make its first deportation stop, in Cambodia. Migrants passengers onboard have likely been shackled for at least 63 hours.

Federal funds apportioned to local police for immigration enforcement have grown 564% since October 2025 — from $158M to over $1 billion, with $363M added in April alone. That's just a fraction of the $14 billion authorized under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Data source: openomb.org

Happy Caturday. For Danny xx

All adults and some children on ICE flights—50+ flights a day—are shackled at the wrists and ankles. I’ve heard from migrants, and watched myself several times, as ICE guards carry elderly wheelchair users, shackled, onto ICE flights. It isn’t for safety. gillianbrockell.com/what-is-ice-...

#OtD 25 Apr 1945 Milan and Genoa were liberated from fascism following workers' uprisings and a general strike. The date has since been celebrated as Italy's annual 'Day of Liberation'. Learn more in our podcast series on the Italian resistance: workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e77-...

Virginians: call Gov. at 804-786-2211, leave message to SIGN S.B. 783 TODAY! Virginia General Assembly legislative time is limited & valuable; don't waste it by pocket vetoing this needed law! End localities' contracting with ICE.

Update: This bill still sits on the desk of Governor Spanberger. The deadline for her to take action one way or the other is this MONDAY evening.

A group of Ohio residents are trying to ban giant data centers across the state — and they've started the process of amending the state’s constitution to do so. In just 8 days this small rural group already got the 1,800 signatures needed to begin the process. www.cleveland.com/news/2026/03...

Some great looks at the Local 7 meatpackers' strike in its earliest hours [at JBS in Greeley, Colorado]: bsky.app/profile/band...

Nearly 4,000 meatpacking workers are on strike against the JBS-owned beef plant in Greeley, Colorado. It's the first meatpacking strike in decades and comes from UFCW Local 7 - an ambitious local that struck last year against Kroger-owned grocery stores.

ICE has a playbook for buying warehouse detention centers: move fast, tell nobody, and let communities find out from property records or news leaks. It's happened in at least 20 towns across the country. A thread. 🧵

To date, at least 9 warehouse deals have been canceled due to local community opposition in Utah, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Virginia, Mississippi, and more. Communities that spoke up early, organized fast, and pressured property owners have stopped facilities from opening.

LATACO has been the firstest with the mostest on ICE/migra reporting since the beginning. Please join me in supporting.

we have saved daylight but at what cost

Attn @pedinska.bsky.social

The money would also be used to: -Reverse the cuts to Medicaid - Raise the minimum salary of every public school teacher to $60,000 - Expand Medicare to cover dental, vision, and hearing for seniors - Build $850 billion of affordable housing - Provide universal childcare

BREAKING: Today Bernie Sanders is proposing new legislation to raise $4.4 trillion in taxes from America’s billionaires — a move that would virtually cut their massive fortunes in half. A chunk of the money raised would go toward sending a $3K stimulus check to every person earning under $150K.
