Stay safe out there!

MASSACHUSETTS: “He is not a criminal… 18 years old… one of the nicest kids in school… plays drums in church… this is the only home he has ever known…” Lawyers say Marcelo Gomes da Silva is here legally: www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

Watch this!

Children should not live in fear of their parents disappearing. Elders should not live in fear of going to the grocery store or their faith house. Standing with our immigrant neighbors always. www.wbur.org/news/2025/06...

San Diego. Minneapolis. The urgency is showing and I’ve never been this confident that the people will win. I’ve never been this proud to be an American. From the bottom-up is how we fix this. We walk in fear but we walk together. Thank you. We have a role to play where we can. We all get to choose.

🚨Heard about this earlier today; ICE is expanding to arrests at ATD (alternatives to detention) case management check-ins. Dozens of people got texts to show up weeks in advance of their normal check-in, and ended up detained. Three women let go were told to come back tomorrow with their kids.

Portland folks!

I dug into Trump's budget over the weekend and here are 3 things you might not see in the news that I think are really important to know about.

I hate knowing if enough people decided it was time for this nightmare to end, it’d be over - but enough don’t. 1. If you think it’s not that bad, you’re mistaken. 2. If you think calling your reps & protests don’t matter, you’re mistaken. 3. If you think others have it covered, you’re mistaken.

ICE dressed up like utility workers who offer "free estimates" if invited inside. Neighbor recorded the ICE goons and intervened, just before a young boy let them into his home. Tucson Electric Power was not told ICE agents would be impersonating their utility workers as part of the ICE raid.

My favorite John Redcorn scene. RIP

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

“Y’all, we did it — Tulsa just created a $105 million reparations plan for the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.” (From @thebwstimes.bsky.social )

#BLM OTD 1863, Harriet Tubman planned & guided an armed raid (becoming the 1st woman to do so in the Civil War) against Confederate forces, supply depots & plantations along the Combahee River in coastal South Carolina. The raid freed nearly 800 people. #BlackAmericanHistoryIsAmericanHistory

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Fuck that. ID every one. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Join me tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. ET as I speak at the Impeach and Remove Digital Town Hall with @fsfp.bsky.social and @womensmarch.com. I’m honored to join the conversation to demand accountability and protect our rights. RSVP today! #ImpeachTrump #WomensMarch #FreeSpeechForPeople

Good information in this article from 7 years ago. #abolishice

💔💔💔 "In Kenya, for example, the WFP will cut its rations in June down to 28% — or less than 600 calories a day per person — a low never seen before... On a recent visit to a facility treating malnourished children younger than 5, she said she saw kids who were “walking skeletons""

We obtained lists of alleged gang members used by Venezuelan law enforcement and Interpol. Those lists include some 1,400 names. None of the names of the 238 Venezuelan deportees matched those on the lists. W/ @texastribune.org‬ @cazadoresdefakenews.info & Alianza Rebelde Investiga

No surprises here. #abolishice

If you’re undocumented or have friends and family who are undocumented, watch and consider sharing this video. It’s a hard decision because there aren’t good options here, but it’s better to be aware of the possibility. Heads up could mean the difference.

Thinking about where to start when it comes to protecting your online privacy can be overwhelming. And even if you think you have nothing to hide, you still have something to lose. Here’s a simple guide to the basics: password managers, VPNs, and more.

Two and a half months since Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia was mistakenly sent to a Venezuelan prison, the Government still has not offered a shred of evidence that it is doing anything to get him back or otherwise correct its mistake.

Some people just can't keep from telling on themselves. The ETA has made an updated "suspicious quotes" compilation video (now featuring clips from 2025) to make sure these telling moments stay firmly on our collective radar. YouTube Link 👇 youtube.com/shorts/ClkJc...

"the Israeli army systematically attacked the targeted individuals while they were in their homes — usually at night while their whole families were present" #freepalestine

The agent who handcuffed a congressional aide is William Krejci of Keasbey, New Jersey, DHS Area Commander. His social media is locked down pretty tight but a Yelp account tied to the same email address he used for LinkedIn shows a face and forearm tattoo that matches the video.

Boycott Avelo‼️ bsky.app/profile/jjin...

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.
