My husband asked what the plan for Rikers Island is, once NYC grows the Prison Industrial Complex with new inhumane facilities for incarceration. The only thing I could think of is, for billionaires, either housing or a resort? www.dezeen.com/2026/09/21/d...

Thousands of immigrants did the hard, dirty work of clearing rubble and toxic dust and debris from Ground Zero. Many were undocumented laborers sent to work every day with no special PPE, and got cancer as a result. Now some of those same people are living in fear of ICE. www.npr.org/2026/09/11/n...

The UK women’s suffragette movement inspired and influenced the US movement. Women fought in the US from 1848-1920. Women continue to stand up and act up against regimes of oppression, all over the world. We will not back down.

This iconic 1971 photo of Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes has always said so much without saying a word. Two women. Two raised fists. One shared fight for equality. Dorothy passed in 2022. Now Gloria is gone too. Two giants who helped change America. Rest in power, Gloria. ✊🏼✊🏾

The Trump administration is considering a deal that would give a small part of Yosemite National Park in California to a Nevada-based private developer, which is seeking to build a road to gain privileged access to the park, according to park advocates.

As Trump drags us into an Iraq-style war in Venezuela, 312 members of the House — including 115 Democrats — just voted to authorize over $900 billion in military spending.

At 880 Front St, San Diego, CA 92104, our federal building. People are kept in the basement, in cages, sleeping on the floor, with maybe yoga mats to sleep on and one of those silver emergency blankets. This space is not intended to house humans, but they are kept there, often overnight and longer.

😲⛓️ “In this growing market, people facing deportation—whether they are detained in squalid camps, forcibly flown out of the country, or agree to leave under the threat of detention—are seen as commodities.”

This free documentary is a MUST SEE. Shuffling people around the US, away from their attorneys and family, away from their Habeas Corpus filings, on a merry-go-round of extremely expensive tax-payer funded charter flights, is a key part of the ICE death machine and hardly anyone is talking about it.

*Contains details related to suicide* Congress gave ICE & CBP billions of dollars to ramp up detention. The consequences: overcrowded facilities, inadequate health care & deaths in custody. More than 50 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. https://bit.ly/4eTUZG4

So sad not to be able to trust politicians. At city council, @sdcitycouncil.bsky.social was again very disappointing. Large and small acts of PROTEST drive change, bring awareness, and helps the mental health for individuals and our collective wellbeing. theconversation.com/dont-trust-p...

theconversation.comDon’t trust politicians? That may not be such a bad thingPolitical trust is paradoxical. No one should be entrusted with power without conditions.

Protest: Respect It - Defend It - Use It by Annie Leonard & André Carothers. 2026. Also, reading Freedom Is A Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and The Foundations Of A Movement, Angela Y. Davis. 2016. Great reading leading up to 250 years of racism, slavery, extinction, and extraction.
