AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

- So glad the state is investigating something we've all known. Selling off this property is part of an ongoing effort by most of the apartment/commercial landlords in South Shore to let buildings fall to ruin so the land can be purchased and gentrified as the Obama Center opens 2 miles away.
- As we learn more about the companies supporting ICE, this is will be a giant thread of ways to divest from them.

- Reposted by Nicole RizzutoFor @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

- Reposted by Nicole RizzutoIt's particularly galling to call for ICE to wear body cams when Renee Good's murder literally recorded the whole thing on his phone. He was so confident in his impunity as part of that organization that he recorded and allowed for the release of footage of him shooting a woman at point blank.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized. Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”

- Reposted by Nicole Rizzutothey didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
