A new poll finds that 1 in 4 Minnesota voters took part in the Jan 23 shutdown against ICE, or have a loved one who did. Of those, 38% DID NOT WORK, either because they made the choice to stay out, or their workplaces closed. By me, @thomasbirm.bsky.social, @bloomekatz.bsky.social
ICE now confirming that there is a measles outbreak at the Texas concentration camp where young Liam was held.
(IMAGE: A drawing by a 5-year-old detained at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas with her mother Hayam El-Gamal. “I am 5 years old” is written at the top of the page. Lower down, next to stick figures, are the words “let us go.” You don't have to know your Bible to hear echoes of oppressions throughout history, or to know what side the oppressor is. But those other echoes sure do resonate, too.)

ICE has booked at least 3,800 children +

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Adorable smiling child with the words FREE LIAM RAMOS.
Update: this 5 year old and his Dad - WHO WERE IN THE US LEGALLY and had committed no crimes - are in detention in Texas.
Call your Senators and tell them vote NO on the DHS funding bill.

@theguardian.com can we not with "post-soviet"? This is like calling a Korean grocery "post-Japanese"
I'm assuming this was an editor and not the author fwiw?

Thank you Alice for being my friend and comrade. You have been a beacon, a badass crip auntie who modelled incredible boundaries and offered the world such incisive wisdom and grace. We are all better for having known Alice.

Brings me back, though! One of the first editable map style engines was my masters thesis many years ago 🥺

Map tiles having their color channels recalculated/synthesized on the fly, appearing in bright rainbow colors on some and in original green/blue/browns in others.
this is probably not what you mean but I think you'll enjoy its zanyness anyways! on-the-fly tile color channel filtering:

Everyone needs to be watching what's happening here in Chicago:
* About 300 fed agents invaded a 5 story apartment complex across from an elementary school
* Snipers rappelled down from Black Hawk helicopters
* Nearly all residents were removed - some children were dragged naked from their homes

There is no longer any doubt that Israel has set up a fake humanitarian organisation so it can kettle Gazans into a kill box and murder them en masse
It is evil beyond description and in a decent world it would result in immediate, massive, global action to stop them and prosecute those responsible
baby hamoud, a toddler with curly brown hair and big brown eyes wearing a t shirt and shirts holding an empty plastic water jug while sitting on a carpet in the sand
babes, Maha found a room and she desperately needs to get Hamoud out of the tent for his health and to protect his delicate lungs. it’s expensive but can we get her enough to stay in the room for at least a few months? after commission fees and GFM we’d need ~$3K for 3 months rent. pls share! ❤️
I am sure everyone will look the other way, but the guy who just won the Democratic mayoral primary in NYC _ran on expanding access to trans healthcare._
A pregnant woman lost her baby after ICE refused to give her prenatal care.
She begged for help and was denied. She was fed food full of cockroaches. She was forced to sleep on the floor.
This is absolutely disgusting and we should all be outraged. nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...
See the handy-dandy chart that converts articles in the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) to articles in the draft Global Plastics Treaty. This chart and the paper are open access.
It's estimated that between 150,000 and 246,000 people died as a result of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.
DOGE cuts to USAID have killed an estimated 300k and counting. Most are women, children, and infants.
I said on day one this would be the #MuskMassacre
There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.
Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

Handwritten article about protest in Korea, illustrated with a linocut-style sharpie illustration of an idol torch with a protest headband, taped to a poster sheet on the wall.
My illustration references Roger Kim's linocuts of the Korean protests. ♥️ Plus a reference to @sarahjeong.bsky.social's insightful thoughts on protest tactics.
Handwritten mini journalism is short form lol but as folks gather we are seeing stories abt everything we've had to process this week 😓
Handwritten articles beginning to fill out a DIY newspaper on a poster sized sheet on the wall. Copies of other one page newspapers on the table and wall.
First articles now hitting the front page layout of the Sunday Social News at DS4SI in Dorchester this morning.
I've been making mini newspapers at events like Public Lab Barnraisings and DS4SI's Social Emergency Response Centers for years, but learning about these earlier inspirations from the Gwangju Uprising has been personally very moving and has brought new meaning to this work. ♥️✊🏼
Various archival copies of the fighters bulletin, on old yellowing paper
At the time, newspapers couldn't or wouldn't tell the story of their popular citywide uprising, or of the brutal killing of protesters by the us-backed dictatorship. So students and others began publishing a one page newspaper called 투사회보 Tusahoebo, or the Fighters Bulletin.
I'll be participating in this event by the Design Studio for Social Intervention -- and running a mini collaborative DIY newspaper for the event inspired by the 📰 published by students during the 1980 Gwangju Uprising.
