@jjindc.bsky.socialReposted by @dnbrgr.bsky.socialI admit I was wrong here. ICE allows chains on kids as young as 12 👀 "If it is necessary to restrain a minor, always consider size, age, gender, and cognitive ability when considering the type of approved restraints to apply. Minors under 12 years of age will never be placed in full restraints."

@dmain.bsky.socialReposted by @dnbrgr.bsky.socialbeen on parental leave but just filed this update on the situation at the border.
though the tree-sit is over for now, it was not a failure… a movement is building to resist ecocide and band together!
@joelhs.bsky.socialReposted by @dnbrgr.bsky.socialRhetoric like this is going to do more to ensure that young generations do not take the Holocaust seriously than any actual denier ever could.

@dnbrgr.bsky.socialA completely overwhelming tension, nearly all of the time!
@jonathanstegall.bsky.socialReposted by @dnbrgr.bsky.socialThis has been a load bearing statement for me these last three years. It's important to contextualize it inside the efforts people were making, and have continued to make, to stop the genocide in Gaza. The tension is still overwhelming in a lot of ways, I think.

@nspm7union.bsky.socialReposted by @dnbrgr.bsky.socialBerger, the historian, said that what makes the project exciting is that it centers on being a defendant. “But it’s also a tragic commentary on where we’re at, with a large swath of people and politics under attack right now,” he said. “We’re all defendants.”

@mguariglia.bsky.socialReposted by @dnbrgr.bsky.socialFor the new issue of @hammerandhope.bsky.social, @brianhochman.bsky.social and I spoke to the great @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social about our new 50th anniversary edition of the Church Committee Report and what it teaches us about the past, present, and future of how the US government disrupts movements.
@opinionhaver.bsky.socialReposted by @dnbrgr.bsky.socialOne of the reasons that it’s vital blue cities unfuck their housing supply is that sanctuary cities probably aren’t viable long term politically otherwise. Need housing to be cheap/abundant if you don’t want there to be blowback from ICE/shithead county sheriffs funneling precarious people to you
@dnbrgr.bsky.socialIt’s a short article, so Tim couldn’t get into the longer history that goes back to groups like International Labor Defense and even the origins of the ACLU. But I talk about it in my new book, publishing on March 9: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/dan-b...
@dnbrgr.bsky.socialThe launch of the Defendant’s Union is a tragic but welcome development. I was glad to speak with @onofftherecord.bsky.social about why and how it fits within a longer effort to yoke defendants together as part of a larger movement

@prisonculture.bsky.socialReposted by @dnbrgr.bsky.socialThe good thing about 2026 is that it's clear that the white supremacists are at the helm. You don't have to argue with Chait et al. You never did. You don't have to read their work because they do not have the range. You can't learn anything.
