This time, when a 32-year-old Nicaraguan man died, ICE bypassed the county medical examiner in favor of a military facility. They won’t publicly release a ruling. www.texastribune.org/2026/02/03/t...

- Reposted by power to the ice pick (Liz)The reason "Abolish ICE" scares them so much is because it speaks to the power of political imagination. Our political imagination has been intentionally suppressed in favor of the stagnation and inertia of the short-term profit economy's political desires. This is existential as well as physical.

Politicians got famous promising help. Media monetized clicks. Lawyers got rich. Meanwhile, many victims got sick & got no money. Welcome to America.
- Reposted by power to the ice pick (Liz)The public library is an essential component of a 21st-century left political project as an example of both what is already available to us and what can be improved upon in the future. The library is a public good, and it is free as a public service. I want more people to make the connections.

- Reposted by power to the ice pick (Liz)W.E.B. DuBois described the American Civil War as a “General Strike” because of the 100s of thousands of enslaved people who stopped their work, many of whom also joined the Union Army. Slavery offers a powerful example of what it looks like when the law prioritizes "property" over human beings.

- Reposted by power to the ice pick (Liz)Reminder about "They're here ILLEGALLY" Being undocumented is a civil offense, not a criminal one. That's why they're not entitled to a court-appointed lawyer, why it's "civil detention" not a jail, why it's not in the criminal code, etc. Other civil infractions are things like parking tickets.

- Reposted by power to the ice pick (Liz)Those of us who have experienced psychological abuse in one way or another have known this for a long time. But if you just can’t shake that frustrated, violated, almost sanity-breaking feeling that an individual is acting irrationally towards you paired with the desperate hope you’re wrong? Abuse.
