  1. Excellent and highly accessible explainer posted this evening by @JennBudd all about #ICE and high-risk traffic stops.

    There is SO damn much not being explained by our electeds and by the media about the "mass deportation" situation -- what ICE can/can't do and the mechanisms they're using to blur or obliterate the line between the two are very much at the top of that list.

  2. Here’s How We Pressured an Airline to End Its Contract With ICE

    ICE is not invulnerable. The Avelo Airlines win proves what happens when we refuse inevitability and fight together.

  5. #Florida considers easing #ChildLabor laws after pushing out #immigrants

    A new law under consideration in the state Legislature would roll back child labor laws to make up for a dwindling labor pool.

    "As Florida officials enable Trump’s #MassDeportation policies, lawmakers in the state are looking to children to take on some of the jobs that have typically been done by immigrants.

    "Making its way through the state Senate is a new law, Senate Bill 918, that aims to loosen child labor laws and allow teenagers to work overnight shifts.

    "As CNN reported: 'The state’s legislature on Tuesday advanced a bill that would loosen child labor laws, allowing children as young as 14 years old to work overnight shifts. If the new law is passed, teenagers would be able to work overnight jobs on school days. They are currently prevented from working earlier than 6:30 am or later than 11 pm per state law.'

    "#SB918 also 'includes a number of changes including eliminating working time restrictions on teenagers aged 14 and 15 if they are home-schooled and ending guaranteed meal breaks for 16 and 17 year olds,' CNN reported.

    "Florida Gov. #RonDeSantis backs the law and has defended the idea of teenagers and college students working these jobs. DeSantis also explicitly linked the effort to the loss of immigrant labor. Speaking about the consequences of state verification laws at an event with border czar #TomHoman, the governor said, 'Yes, we had people that left because of those rules, but you’ve also been able to hire other people. And what’s wrong with expecting our young people to be working part-time now?'

    "In recent years, several states — many of them led by #Republican governors — have rolled back child labor laws. This map from the Economic Policy Institute illustrates the spike in states rolling back these laws from 2021 to 2024. Back in 2023, for example, #Arkansas Gov. #SarahHuckabeeSanders signed a bill that made it easier for companies to hire children without getting consent from their parents. One month earlier, The New York Times published a bombshell report about the exploitation of immigrant children in #factories operated by some of the most well-known companies in the U.S.

    "That story should have spurred a nationwide push to strengthen child labor laws. Instead, states like Florida are going in the opposite direction, weakening such laws in part to deal with the fallout from the conservative movement’s demonization of immigrants. They’re essentially using child labor to paper over the gaps left by their draconian immigration policies.

    "#Project2025, the far-right playbook for Trump’s second term, specifically calls for rolling back #HazardRegulations around child labor. The text claims, 'Some young adults show an interest in inherently dangerous jobs' and argues that 'with parental consent and proper training, certain young adults should be allowed to learn and work in more dangerous occupations.'

    "Even as child labor laws are being rolled back, the Trump administration is working to gut social services, including funds that help provide school lunches to children and programs, like the supplemental nutrition assistance program, that help feed poor families. And if those cuts stay in place, they may leave American families with few alternatives to sending their children to work to keep food on the table."

  7. Venezuelans in the Miami suburb of Doral have been some of Trump’s biggest proponents. Many feel betrayed after he revoked temporary protected status for thousands.

    We tried to warn you.

    Venezuelans backed Trump. Now some worry he’ll deport them.

  8. I look at pretty wild fashy rhetoric all the time, and I find myself muttering the phrase "shocking, not surprising" a lot. I'm actually sort of glad every time I feel a bit shocked, because just going numb to it would be a really bad sign.

    At any rate, sometimes the basic internal contradictions in what they say are just so glaring that they produce that reaction. It's the sheer audacity of throwing something so totally counterintuitive out there with such force that the absurdity of it goes largely unnoticed amid all the bluster. I've seen a lot of that, so it's not surprising, but it can still be jarring nonetheless.

    Such is the case when white Australian Nazis demand "mass deportations" of immigrants and their descendants. Really, Ricky? You really want to go there? You really want to argue "blood and soil" on behalf of white people in Australia when there are indigenous people whose ancestors have been on that land for 65,000+ years?

    They do. And they did, verbally and in banner form in a Melbourne train station on Saturday. About 30 of them, of whom only one was arrested for "grossly offensive public conduct.”

    It is seriously shocking to see such a contorted and misanthropic worldview on full display, but nothing could be less surprising. The fucks.
