ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Albuquerque’s Mayor Said Arrests Were β€œNot the Solution” to Homelessness. Yet Jail Bookings Have Skyrocketed. Under Tim Keller’s leadership, the city has increasingly criminalized conduct associated with homelessness, causing a growing number of people on the streets to be arrested and jailed.

If you care about homelessness after the big Supreme Court decision in Grants Pass, read this story. By @nicolesantacruz.bsky.social and Ruth Talbot

I respect and appreciate Jolyon, this is not on him. But so much loaded language here: "black-market" (wildly misrepresentative), "trans hormones" (hormones. period. the same we all have), "self-medication" (linking with substance abuse). "Long term harm," "suboptimal" leave out a LOT and mislead.

As someone who grew up on (white) teen movies, I was struck by how much that Patel scene looked like something straight out of a spec script in the 1980s. The racialized minority over performing nationalism as white frat boys clearly broadcast to everyone but him that he is not really one of them.

Watched β€˜Zone of Interest” last night for the first time.

All I could think about was this.

Local @idahodems.bsky.social need to do something about their state leadership. The Boise Bubble isn’t going to.

Just like the GOP won’t hold Epstein predators accountable. www.npr.org/2023/12/22/1...

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

This morning I posted our petition to get Palantir out of our NHS and our public services.

Over 40,000 people have now signed it - thank you.

Please do keep sharing!

Nice to have some good news. The Palestine Action ban was transparently and cynically confected, a nasty little piece of political chicanery. Yvette Cooper, Keir Starmer and his entire government should feel deep shame, but I don't doubt they'll contest the decision.

BREAKING - WE HAVE WON!

Following a successful Judicial Review brought by Huda Ammori, and a sustained campaign of defiance by defend our juries leading to almost 3,000 β€˜terror’ arrests, the ban on Palestine Action has been ruled unlawful in the courts.

#UK: We welcome the High Court ruling that the proscription of #PalestineAction as a terrorist group was disproportionate. We raised concerns at the time that such a sweeping designation threatened free speech & protest. Since then, thousands of peaceful protestors have been detained. 1/3

Breaking: on two counts, the High Court has ruled that the Labour government's proscription of the campaign group Palestine Action was unlawful – a win for its co-founder Huda Ammori, who sought a judicial review of the ban
