“Take a breath man, it’s not that serious.” Unbelievable statement an ICE agent told a man who collapsed after being handcuffed following his immigration hearing. The overzealous agents had the wrong man & would have kidnapped him had his attorney not insisted in reviewing the arrest warrant.

TPS allowed thousands of Venezuelan families who fled to the U.S. to live and work here legally. They are trying to do things the right way. Trump isn’t cracking down on "illegal" immigration—he’s taking away people's legal status and growing the number of undocumented people.

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Oh my god ok let’s do this again: no scientists didn’t fucking resurrect a dire wolf. They just edited some genes in a gray wolf to change its color and make it bigger. This is just a designer grey wolf. These people are grifters. There is no such thing as de-extinction. 🧪

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

There will never be any reduction in the need to materially stop releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The laws of physics do not change depending on geopolitics or vibes or elections: it will always make sense to stop thickening the heat-trapping blanket above our heads

Was informed last night that my position at Dot Esports under the Gamurs umbrella was eliminated, so that's bad! Now I need a job. I've got 12+ years of experience writing in sports, entertainment, gaming, and I had just finished my third year editing professionally.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.
