I’m fightin’ on ‘til my life is gone
Even when my version of health insurance is orange juice and tiger balm
Even when my attention is so divided
Between rappin’ and writin’ and activism and survivin’
And at any given time so many of us are new to this
But you ain’t gotta stop listening to Ludacris
And you ain’t gotta dress a certain way
Ride your bike in wintertime, shop at the co-op or ever turn away
From who you really are… this movement doesn’t need perfect
It just needs us to start workin’
Radical means you have hope
And sometimes ya vote for it, most of the time, though, ya don’t
So this is for the ballot, the bullet, the bulletin and the boycott
For the hand to hand, and the door to door
More and more, it’s growin’ in popularity
We don’t say peace, we say solidarity

With this many hands we can start a fire
With this many hands we can start a war
With this many hands we can build something beautiful
With this many hands we can do so much more
With this many hands we can start a fire
With this many hands we can start a war
With this many hands we can build something beautiful

I got a friend who ran for city council and he got elected
Got a friend who ran for school board and got rejected
But in the process, learned about the process
Wrote a couple grants, now she runs a non-profit
I got a friend who never went to college
But knows the first and last names of everyone in his housing project
It starts with the basics
I got another friend who throws parties in his basement
And basically that’s just a baseline
Power’s a hundred people in the same place at the same time
But what you gonna do with it?
I got a friend who knows what the revolution is
And knows that though the music is beautiful
It’s the people that it brings together who are better
And the senators and representatives only bend
To the will of the real change-makers, my friends

With this many hands we can start a fire
With this many hands we can start a war
With this many hands we can build something beautiful
With this many hands we can do so much more
With this many hands we can start a fire
With this many hands we can start a war
With this many hands we can build something beautiful

We don’t care about the clothes you wear
Don’t care about the kind of car you drive
We don’t need any more heroes
We just need to organize
Don’t care about the books you read
Or the revolution in your head
Don’t put your fists in the air, use ‘em
To build something real instead

Fuck a conspiracy theory that ain’t right
The worst they do is always in plain sight
I ain’t concerned about black helicopters
It wasn’t the illuminati who shot Sean and Oscar
I ain’t looking for symbols on dollar bills and monuments
Or reading Nostradamus’s prophecies of apocalypse
I got enough problems in my neighborhood
.unemployment, schools underfunded so take a good
Look at the books it doesn’t add up so what’s up
It doesn’t take a new world order to fuck us
…so flip that switch off
I don’t think 9/11 was an inside job
And even if it was suspicious, our mission is the same
Resist, revolt, rebel, remember every name
We live, we vote, we yell the pressure doesn’t change
Whether on republicans or democrats or space lizards

Delaney Hall ICE Agent: Dominick Rego

Republished From The Toto Report

On May 22, 2026 detainees at Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ launched a hunger strike over the horrific conditions inside. Tensions over the conditions in the federal detention center have resulted in several highly visible clashes with the state, including when in June 2025 four men escaped the facility in coordination with protests happening outside the gates.

Similarly, this week a mass protest has been stationed outside the gates of Delaney Hall in solidarity with the hunger strikers. As the number of protestors grow by the day, the state has been relocating and supplementing the number of ICE agents to the location of the protest. ICE agents have been extremely brutal, beating and gassing protestors, and in one instance pushed a protestor under a moving industrial vehicle crushing their leg.

One ICE agent that is currently on the ground at Delaney Hall and is known for his brutality has been positively identified as South Jersey native Dominick Rego.

Dominick Rego is 30 years old, birthday 10/20/1995 and his last known address was in Manchester, NJ and has previously lived in Manahawkin and Toms River, NJ. Rego has been an ICE agent for at least two years. He has a medium build, medium height, brown hair, a beard, and brown eyes. Rego also has a Polynesian tribal tattoo sleeve on his left arm. He is single having been dumped by his long-term girlfriend in 2022/2023.

Rego is active on social media and has a FaceBook account that he has been using for over a decade.

Comments from Rego’s FaceBook account. Based on his grammar and spelling there are few questions as to why he became an ICE agent.

Rego is a regular on staff ICE agent at Delaney Hall and has been pictured there previously brutalizing protestors in 2025.

The picture on the left was taken during a clash with protestors at the federal detention center in 2024/2025. The picture on the right was taken during the same time frame but as a civilian.

He was recently listed in a habeas corpus lawsuit against Delaney Hall and is specifically named as being involved.

Rego has been working at Delaney Hall for years, and while the lawsuit is not currently accessible to the public, one has to wonder what human rights abuses Rego is responsible for.

To any protestors on the ground at Delaney Hall: Use this information how you see fit. Dominick Rego is a danger to all and deserves everything that may be coming to him.

It is time to level the playing field. ICE agents at Delaney Hall and all over the US act with impunity. They think they cannot be targeted or held accountable.

Did you noticed the word #subhumans in the quote from #YuryAfonin ? This really shows that this wasn't any #AntiFascist related event, but an event to push #nazi #russian #propaganda on easily fooled people on the far left side of the political spectrum and those following #populists with a far-right political view and don't want to call them selves openly as #fascist or nazi. It's #russia that has done the "nazification" of Ukraine by sending their soldiers into Ukraine.

To Demand Freedom: The Hunger Strike at Delaney Hall Detention Center

Republished From CrimethInc.

Following last winter’s showdown between Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the population of the Twin Cities, momentum is picking up on another front: resistance from within detention facilities. At least 51 people have lost their lives in the custody of ICE since Donald Trump took office, twice as many as died between 2021 and 2024. In response to this tragedy, as well as to unbearable conditions and the looming threat of deportation, detainees and their supporters are staging strikes and protests around the country.

One of these fights is playing out at Delaney Hall, a federal detention facility located in Newark, New Jersey. The facility closed in 2017, but the private prison profiteering company GEO Group reopened it in February 2025 in return for a billion dollars of taxpayer money.

Delaney Hall has been a site of conflict for over a year. On May 9, 2025, a confrontation took place between ICE agents and Democratic politicians attempting to inspect the facility. On June 12, 2025, after detainees reported unacceptable conditions and lack of food, raucous solidarity demonstrations took place outside it. During an uprising inside the facility, four prisoners escaped after breaking through a sheet-rock exterior wall.

This month, on May 22, 2026, more than 300 detainees at Delaney Hall launched a hunger and labor strike, citing rotten food and lack of medical care and legal resources. In response, hundreds of protesters mobilized outside the federal detention center, building barricades and blockading the exits in order to stop ICE from removing strike organizers from the facility. Federal officers responded by firing pepper balls and other projectiles at demonstrators, tear-gassing protesters, and once again attacking a politician who visited the facility in an effort to report on the conditions within.

The strike in New Jersey is part of a growing wave of actions across the US. In Southern California, at least 20 detainees are participating in a hunger strike at the Desert View Annex, where previous hunger strikes have occurred. Four people have died at that facility since it, too, reopened in 2025.

Detainees held inside Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas have also announced a hunger strike. Last summer, Texan authorities sought to make an example of demonstrators who held a noise demonstration outside the Prairieland Detention Center, leading to a high-profile case that Trump’s supporters intend to use to set new precedents in repression. The hunger strike currently unfolding at Prairieland highlights why those demonstrators went there in the first place.

In New Mexico, Rogelio Bolufé launched a hunger strike to protest employees of CoreCivic, the company operating the private prison, seizing his legal documents. In retaliation for launching the strike, authorities transferred Bolufé to the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington. The Northwest Detention Center, which is also owned by GEO Group, has itself been the scene of ongoing protests, acts of resistance, and hunger strikes for many years.

On May 19, the Tacoma-based group La Resistencia released a statement from detainees, announcing the formation of “La Union de Secuestrados por ICE (USI),” the Union of People Kidnapped by ICE. Over 140 members of the USI from both Torrence County and NWDC signed the letter, declaring that they “firmly denounce that the current operations against immigrants are not driven by security concerns… but rather by a system that has turned human suffering into a business.”

Meanwhile, private prison contractors like GEO Group and CoreCivic are reporting record profits. Following the ignominious departures of the officials previously leading ICE, Trump tapped David Venturella—a former GEO Group executive who previously oversaw contracts for detention centers. Venturella is best known for helping to imprison and then deport the ex-girlfriend of Paolo Zampolli, a Trump associate linked to Jeffrey Epstein. It could not be clearer that what Trump calls “the largest deportation program in the history of America” is above all a means to enrich his allies in the private prison industry.

“The ones who remained with ICE over the past year are there because they want to kidnap children, to pepper-spray grandmothers, to murder mothers like Renee Good and nurses like Alex Pretti. Not just for the money, but for the thrill of kidnapping, torturing, and killing with impunity. Every single one of them. The others already quit.”

At Delaney Hall, hundreds of protesters have been mobilizing alongside family members of those locked inside to support those on strike. They have rallied in support of detainees every day for several days now. According to one report,

On Friday morning, at a small rally organized by Gabriela Soto—a rising immigrants’ rights advocate who’s married to Martin Soto, a Peruvian man detained at Delaney since February—several men held at the center spoke to the crowd via video chat.

One man said he and the nearly 300 others in his unit at the facility had decided to “stop eating and stop working” indefinitely until the inhumane conditions inside the facility improve. “But that’s not all we demand,” he said. “We are also doing this to demand freedom.”

With pressure building, protests grew over the weekend, pushing a Democratic politician to tour the facility. The senator reported on the horrific conditions inside which include rotten food, lack of access to medical care, and echoed calls for the facility to be shut down.

Martin Soto is one of the organizers at the center of the strike. He was scheduled to be released on Sunday night. However, it soon became clear that ICE was attempting to move him to another facility in an effort to break the strike. According to another report,

Word of Martin’s supposed release reached [Soto’s wife] Gabriela, who immediately went to Delaney Hall… While she waited to greet Martin and bring him home, Gabriela instead saw guards put him in the van. Sally Pillay, an advocate with Eyes on ICE NJ, was with Gabriela at the time and previously described the scene to Gothamist.

“ We ran out [to] the van. [Martin] was banging onto the van. I clearly saw him in the van. He was the only one in the vehicle that they were trying to take out,” Pillay said. “He was still wearing his uniform. He was shackled, but he was banging furiously. He could see [Gabriela]. She was running frantically in and around the van.”

Protesters outside the fence quickly realized ICE was attempting to move Martin, and they formed a human chain in front of the gate to prevent the van from leaving. Word of the transfer attempt spread rapidly online, and the crowd of protestors grew throughout the evening.

The effort forced the van to retreat, thwarting Martin’s transfer temporarily. Minogue declares in the filing that when Martin was brought back inside Delaney Hall, he was thrown to the ground, accused of damaging the transfer van, and placed in solitary confinement.

Further protests took place on Monday, May 25, as demonstrators looking for Soto attempted to block and inspect every vehicle leaving the facility. Then it came out that Soto had been transferred to the Elizabeth Detention Center, also located in New Jersey. According to a filing from his attorney, “[Martin] remains housed in solitary confinement conditions and wildly restricted to access to counsel as well as terminated visitation for his family.” Clashes with federal law enforcement nonetheless continued.

Officials in the Trump administration have held to their longstanding policy of blatantly lying about resistance to ICE, with acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis declaring that “There is NO hunger strike at Delaney Hall. There are NO subprime conditions or abuse at the facility.” Likewise, the Department of Homeland Security issued a statement maintaining that “No individuals were directly struck by pepper ball projectiles.”

In another letter from strikers inside Delaney Hall, prisoners addressed those demonstrating outside the prison walls: “We appreciate the support of everyone who is protesting outside the facility. We want you to know that you give us strength and determination to keep going. Please, DON’T GIVE UP!”

On Tuesday night, clashes between federal officers and demonstrators intensified as federal agents attempted to move detainees out of the facility, repeatedly pepper-spraying and beating protesters. Nonetheless, protesters held their ground, linking arms and pushing the agents back again and again.

The clashes taking place in New Jersey represent the first large-scale public resistance to mass deportation since Donald Trump fired Greg Bovino and Kristie Noem in response to outrage over the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. The new secretary of DHS, Markwayne Mullin, has sought to remove the agency from the spotlight, hoping that keeping a lower profile will diminish popular resistance. Even Stephen Miller, the white nationalist and former college buddy of neo-Nazi activist Richard Spencer, has begun avoiding media coverage in order to dodge pushback against his efforts to build a white ethno-state.

Yet people may not forget ICE so easily. Across the US, people have been mobilizing against proposed ICE warehouse prisons. The fight against Delaney Hall could return ICE to the headlines.

As social media pundits and corporate media outlets turn their attention to the upcoming midterm elections, it is crucial to mobilize against ICE detention facilities in solidarity with those locked within them. This is an opportunity to keep the atrocities ICE is perpetrating in the thoughts of the general public—both to ensure that the plight of detainees and other immigrants are not forgotten under this or any future administration, and also because ICE agents will likely form the shock troops of any effort to use force to preserve Donald Trump’s control over the government. We should gather outside Delaney Hall and other detention centers around the country and aid the families of those who are imprisoned within them.

Supporting the resistance of detainees is a way to show that we cannot be intimidated, that solidarity is ultimately a more powerful force than greed or fear. We must stand together against this autocratic regime, from both sides of the detention centers’ walls, or be defeated and disappear behind them one by one.

Ungodly wars caught in the name
Blood stains upon the text
Dried on the page as it clung to a mothers chest
You got the nerve to criticize drive-bys at schools
When heatseekers reach teachers red white and blue
Red white and blues never on the nightly news
Killed more kids than shit, Nike shoes
So i fight the rules kinda like Tyson do
Yeah it might be rude but it’s likely true
From the A-Bomb, the napalm, the scud missiles
From heroes to heroine pins with drugs in you
Or a face gets replaced by a molded mass
A soldier standing on the stoop with a folded flag
I ask where the billions went
And if this war on terrorism still legit
Or it never was tell the gov’ tell the fuzz
We the threat yes you scared of us

(Hook)
…there are stars in your stomach
…a supernova beatin’ in ya chest
…lightning between ya fingertips
…fire burnin’ in ya breath
…there are stars in your stomach
…a supernova beatin’ in ya chest
…lightning between ya fingertips
Let it out until there’s nothin’ left!

Believe nothing sound truer than the livest
It’s repeated, feed it to the masses
Eat it up and teach it in your classes
But at least you preaching what you practice
Aggressively passive culture for the placid
About to get drastic, road block, rush hour traffic
So we can’t roll up and roll past it
Newsflashes handed down like Moses’ stone tablets
No questions or you’re outcasted
I’m looking for hope here inside the don
Seeing all kinds of wrong, got damn, the line is long
The hell am I doing trying to write a song?
Maybe I should ride along with them and keep the blinders on
But fuck that, if not for me then for my daughter
For the trail of tears that let me to my ancestor’s slaughter
So when the levees break you’ll see me wading in the water
At least they gonna bury me with honor

(Hook)

Shout to Howard Zinn
Have you ever seen the world through a bomb sight?
Have you ever prayed through a darkness beyond night?
The song might be a bunker buster
Daisy cutter thermobaric American crazy proletarian ay
But when you boil in the belly of the beast it’s scary
So hack out by any means necessary
They’re gonna call it terrorism either way
So you can head for the clear, or give ‘em something to fear
C’mon… and I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout bombs
I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout Bibles, Torahs or Qurans
I’m talkin’ ‘bout the god that lives in your feet when you’re walking
The god that lives on your lips while you’re talking
The god that lives in your fist when you fight for
Something worth fightin’ for, this whole life is war
And the first step to victory
Like Toki Wright said: know the history
An injury to one is an injury to all, understand me
They step up to your cousin, you run and go get your family
So when they step to you on some real shit
You got the whole city risin’ up, climbin’ up that double helix
Your job is to protect your family
And your family is everyone
Power to the people, give it a chance
‘cause it’ll work, it’s the only thing that ever has

#Nanaimo #vancouver #kamloops #merritt: stop the AI surveillance anti-human fascist "data" centres!

Alexa/Siri/etc are all called smart speakers, but they're smart MICROPHONES: data centres are actually destroying water, electricity, safe healthy communities, and low noise and light pollution.

Erin Brockovich (@erinbrockovich)

Within a week of launching a self-reporting map, more than 1,600 community reports have been filed regarding data centers, highlighting widespread concern. https://brockovichdatacenter.com/ Key findings include: Public Awareness & Transparency: 8% of respondents reported that Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) hid projects from the public until it was too late or secretly made a deal with the company, leaving communities feeling ignored in decision-making processes. This is a recurring pattern: residents learning about projects only after non-disclosure agreements were signed, planning processes conducted "behind closed doors," or local officials prevented from sharing information with constituents. Project Status: The majority of reports concerned projected or planned AI data centers with a significant number also addressing facilities currently under construction or already operational. Core Concerns: Recurring complaints focused on higher utility bills, failing infrastructure, extreme noise pollution from generators, potential health impacts, and water shortages/depletion. Key Trends: The reports indicate that concerns are split between immediate operational issues (noise, water) and long-term infrastructure/transparency issues. Information is power! Keep reporting and I’ll keep the updates coming.
