James Baldwin said, “We are a racist society, racist to the very marrow, and we are fighting a racist war... My own condition, as a black man in America, tells me what Americans really feel and really want, and tells me who they really are. And, therefore, every bombed village is my hometown.”

DHS wants to build a system to surveil Americans’ travel records Previously unreported documents show the agency has asked companies for input. Last year, a similar program was shuttered over public outcry.

“The proposed tool appears to be an attempt to rebuild a surveillance pipeline that was recently shuttered amid public backlash.”

there's a fair bit of people on here with knowledge of how things work in Japan, so thought I'd ask: what's with the 99% conviction rate on criminal defendants? why would anyone be a defense attorney in such a system? are judges required to put up French Revolution numbers for careerist reasons?

🧵 Today’s news: Proton turned over payment info for a Stop Cop City account. Not good — it's state repression in action.

Controversial opinion: We don't think this means all activists should abandon Proton for docs/email.

It depends on your threat model. Let's explore.

Israeli map showing all of southern Lebanon in red with yellow arrows pointing to north of the Litani river

The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.

They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.

The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.

For the first time in over a century, families across the U.S. have to fear their children growing up without citizenship in the only home they've ever known.

We'll be defending the right of birthright citizenship at the Supreme Court on April 1 in our case Barbara v. Trump.

I got this today after paying a family’s back rent to stop an eviction that had been filed. I feel that weight in my bones, and I’m glad she gets to sleep tonight. No one should ever have to feel that fear.

Florence ICE detainee dead after untreated tooth infection, official says An ICE detainee, who had been at a Florence detention center for four months, died Monday following an untreated tooth infection.

This is horrifically cruel. “A Haitian asylum seeker held for four months at Florence Correctional Center died Monday at a Scottsdale hospital due to complications from an infected tooth, a local official in Chandler said Tuesday.” An excruciating and wholly preventable death. No words are adequate.

America is a genocidal entity.

If these fuckers introduce war manufacturing articles, the Dems will vote for it. They already voted for the largest military budget in world history right after attacking Venezuela, and that is directly lowering this war machine. Here and abroad.

As Arkansas weighs a prison book ban, formerly incarcerated readers share how books reshaped their lives - Arkansas Times Arkansas is considering the strictest book ban in the country, which would forbid all outside books, magazine and newspapers from being sent directly to people in prison. To understand what’s at stake...

“All of those books will be only those that have been signed off by the institution…and will not spark any ideas of specifically freedom, because that is how a lot of people gain the power and energy to fight on.” - Brotha Knowledge, 44, Little Rock, recently paroled after nearly 30yrs behind bars
