Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

Amplify this more (from a former DOJ prosecutor). Haven’t seen one employer arrested. That needs to change if these raids are to continue.

While millions of Americans struggle to afford gas, food, and rent, the administration is spending obscene amounts on Trump’s birthday parade, complete with tanks, warplanes, and horses. It’s disgraceful. We reject pageantry for the powerful and demand power for the people. Join us Saturday:

This is the story Trump wants buried. And the media will comply unless we keep talking about it, and demand that Republican members of Congress answer for it.

Don't be a statistic. Trump is deploying the National Guard, and my Los Angeles brothers and sisters need to stay off the streets tonight. Stay home. Stay safe.

A federal judge recently blocked President Donald Trump’s plan to shut down the U.S. Department of Education, which aims to strip away critical services for students across the country while bypassing Congress. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Hi I used to work at Starbucks customer service: if you call or email about this, they are absolutely tracking those numbers, and a sufficient amount of public pushback does make them rethink shit sometimes, so now would be an EXCELLENT time to let them know they’re being ableist shitheads

Disability is not a moral failing. It’s not a punishment. It’s not karma. It’s part of the human experience. Our bodies are frail, and given enough time most people will experience disability. The idea that we’re lazy, choosing not to “try hard” or want to be sick is a fallacy born out of ableism

Everything is bad, but this one is a five-alarm fire. There's now nothing preventing the DOJ from manufacturing charges against these two from whole cloth. Worst case for Trump is he upends two lives until a judge tosses the cases -- while sending a clear message about loyalty. Thank John Roberts.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

Last night, President Trump repealed a critical ATF policy that removed licenses from gun dealers who knowingly broke the law. Putting these dealers back in business will increase crime and make our communities less safe.

Just finished reading this, by @elienyc.bsky.social I think this should be read by everyone. I find it to be a great source of new, introspective thinking. Do yourself a favor though and check your privilege at the door.

Last night I wrote about Abrego Garcia’s case. Today, SCOTUS confirmed it’s true. Even though their stay is just temporary, he remains in cruel & unusual conditions in a foreign prison with no recourse. It could happen to any of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

"When I heard of the purge, I went back and read Angelou’s 'On the Pulse of Morning.' These lines struck me now in a way they hadn’t in 1993: Do not be wedded forever To fear, yoked eternally To brutishness. Instead: Give birth again To the dream." www.thebulwark.com/p/pete-hegse...
