going to tell my kids this is Midsommar

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

Talking to my dad in LA this afternoon about the ICE raids that happened in the area yesterday. He is so enraged, he can’t formulate words—and he can’t seem to understand why Americans aren’t connecting the dots that the power to disappear immigrants grants the power to disappear everyone else.

I've reported on a woman in federal immigration custody forced to give birth next to a trash can. Reproductive injustice is a natural byproduct of how CBP and ICE have been allowed to operate.

A father screams for his child from a tiny interview room within a basement waiting room inside LA federal building. The space is not a holding area. No food. No water. No diapers. Those initially detained include a 2-year-old US citizen and a woman with high-risk pregnancy.

Since moving, I'll search for vegan-friendly restaurants nearby and inevitably discover the cutest, most delicious-looking vegan place just a few miles down the road...across the border into Juárez. I don't have my new passport yet!! 🥲

Tell him he has to work tomorrow he can't accept it.

🚨 💉The FDA will no longer approve COVID vaccines for people 6mo–64yrs who don't have a risk factor for severe COVID-19. People 65 years and older and those under 65 with risk factors can still get vaccinated. There's so much to unpack here. See a few thoughts below 👇

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

The TAKE IT DOWN Act was signed yesterday — learn about what it does, when it goes into effect, potential challenges it might face and what to do if someone has posted explicit images of you online without your permission. 19thnews.org/2025/05/take...

you’re laughing. the largest antebellum plantation house burned down & there are brides who will not get to spiritually absorb the poisoned spectral energy of the land for their big day, & you’re laughing.

Shoutout to Whitney Plantation, who has always BANNED WEDDINGS at their location and allowed the entire facility and its grounds to be an indoor and outdoor museum. It also houses the genealogical records for over 100,000 enslaved people. You can search for your loved ones in its archives.

The only people laundering the idea that Republicans care about the deficit at this point are liberals trying to make sensible appeals. They don't even try anymore and haven't for years.

GOOD NEWS! Moderna’s combination COVID/influenza vaccine candidate mRNA-1083 has OUTPERFORMED the current standalone vaccines for BOTH viruses in a large (8000+) Phase III trial. A combination vaccine would make it easier for people to get vaccinated against COVID and influenza at the same time. 🧪🧵⬇️

say what you will...vampire Irish step dance slapped. #Sinners

I created a @bookshop.org storefront to share book recommendations from a platform that supports indie bookstores. bookshop.org/shop/arielty...

FYI: The United States Disappeared Tracker is an open-access tool tracking persons politically arrested, detained, or disappeared by the Trump regime since March 9, 2025. public.tableau.com/app/profile/...

Last night, I finished Hulu's Dying for Sex. I can't remember the last time I laughed so much while sobbing. I even cried in the shower later that evening. 💔

The guy who wrote a column titled "We are all Proud Boys now" is going to help MAGA stooge Brendan Carr's FCC decide if broadcasters that report critically on mass deportations are acting in the public interest. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's wife gave birth to their child without him after ICE denied their request to let him be present. “This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer,” Dr. Abdalla said. “My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud."

What bullshit did I just read?!

"...University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth obtained unclaimed bodies from Dallas and Tarrant counties, then dissected and leased them out." LEASED. THEM. OUT.

Closing schools during pandemic = bad, unforgivable, “worse than the Iraq war” - Nate Silver Closing schools because you made the president feel bad = that’s just how politics work

Troll NRA dorks and show support for abortion rights: www.bonfire.com/support-abor... I made this design as part of my Fund-a-Thon efforts to raise money for @teafund.org. All profits from the sale of this shirt go directly to TEA Fund to help Texans access out of state abortion.

This Fund-a-Thon, I'm raising money for @teafund.org! Please donate to help them provide the necessary support for abortion seekers in need. fund.nnaf.org/fundraiser/6...

I could not agree more. We're still here. So thankful for the orgs that are still showing up for us, here.

One flight attendant recalled being told: “‘If a fire occurs in the cabin, if we land on water, don’t check on the immigrants. Just make sure that you and the guards and the people that work for the government get off.’” By @mckenziefunk.com

At least it's really obvious now who is a paid propagandist

So my phone started blowing up last night because guess who's on the banned book list at the naval academy? Yours truly. Go support an author today and buy a book off of this this list... Doesn't even have to be mine. Gift link coming

Grey's Anatomy tackling consensual non-monogamy

Your dog ever walk up and stare at you, expectingly? If not, you can pretend with Nugget right now

I am one of the FEW abortion doctors left in Texas. I am Board Certified in Obstetrics & Gynecology AND Board Certified in Complex Family Planning I am a Texas #abortion expert Some might say, I’m THE Texas abortion expert I oppose SB31/ HB 44 Why?

Shout out to Lodge Cast Iron's lifetime warranty. The bottom of my 6-quart dutch oven developed a small chip after four years of continual use, so they're sending me a brand new oven in the same colorway for free. This is a Le Creuset-level lifetime warranty for 1/5th the cost. 🥳

Boosting because ICE and CBP are going thru people’s phones and laptops at borders and airports.

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns. Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity. It’s been the plan for decades.

We're disappearing college students because their opinions are deemed threats to foreign policy as the Trump Administration is literally sharing classified information and military strikes on an unsecured Signal chat with journalists.

it was a beautiful day with the best people ❤️🥰🌈

getting married in Texas and finding a new home in New Mexico all in one weekend? it's more likely than you think!

we're getting married this weekend btw ☺️

Because I'm not in contact with most of my family, gift-giving holidays look different now than they did in early adulthood. But I discovered an unexpected perk of wedding planning: receiving registry gifts captures the feeling of those long-lost birthdays & Christmases. 🥹 Full of bubbly love & joy

Lotta people on this site and others tell folks to delete their period trackers and this case and many more show that snitches are a much bigger threat.
