YIKES on bikes.

Turns out the "illegal" pregnant woman was a US citizen, and she's since been hospitalized.

Maybe they really were ICE officers. Or maybe they were a band of vigilantes, arbitrarily snatching brown-looking people off the street. All eyes are now on LA, but secret police are descending upon smaller towns nationwide too. Masked and armed, they refuse to show IDs or warrants. wapo.st/4kIGFke

RFK is going to be responsible for a lot of death and suffering

Uh, pardon me but...what the fuck? I keep looking for the part at the beginning where these guys signal the car to stop and they just...don't? They just ram-trap it and then point guns - and they've got the wrong car no less!

May the anti-ICE movement continue to spread nationwide! This is the Los Angeles spirit your news broadcast isn’t showing…

We're living at a moment when ICE is threatening not only to arrest and deport immigrants but arrest and prosecute everyday people and leaders for educating others about their constitutional rights. Helping to defend our immigrant communities is one clear action that we can all take right now. ⤵️

Yesterday at Henry M. Jackson Federal Building in Seattle barriers were built with scooters and bikes in front of the buildings garage exit. This comes as it was announced today that ICE will be deploying tactical teams to 5 cities in the US to assist in “mass deportations”

On average, doctors in Ethiopia earn just $80 a month – a fraction of what their counterparts elsewhere in Africa take home. Now, doctors and healthcare workers are going on strike to demand better pay. But instead of negotiating, the government is locking them up.

I've created a page with Jail Support and Bail/Immigration Bond Funds. Jail Support helps those who've been arrested. Community bail/immigration bond funds provide money to get people released while awaiting future court dates. I've included links to support for LA protesters. linktr.ee/bondfunds

i played a small role in helping shape the original implementation of citikey after trump got elected the first time. the core principle was *do not make a government list of vulnerable people* for this precise scenario. this is a gross betrayal of the public trust. valencia should resign.

Last month Jimmy Carr hosted a secret Israeli party with Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch and the Israeli ambassador to the UK. Carr who once 'joked' that no one talks about the 'positives' of the Holocaust and then cited the Nazi genocide of Roma and Sinti people. www.thenational.scot/news/2516772...

The lead doctor of one study that HHS cited in its decision to stop recommending Covid shots during pregnancy told us their results were "misinterpreted."

A total outrage. A judge needs to dismiss this at the first opportunity. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

In Houston, a council member warns that ICE agents have been “waiting in hallways” of immigration courts to arrest people when their cases were dismissed.

One more post before we get some rest. A news article about the rally today. Thank you to those who stood up & stepped out. It takes strength and courage to raise voices when fearful of retaliation. We saw you. We heard you. We will keep fighting for science and public health. #saveCDC @nbcnews.com

“An open letter signed by ~1,300 medical and public health professionals urged the police to stop using tear gas, smoke, or other respiratory irritants, which increase risk for COVID by making the respiratory tract more susceptible to infection.” www.propublica.org/article/tear...

Sarah Stillman investigates a widespread crisis of deaths by starvation in America’s county jails. Most of the victims she identified had been arrested in the midst of a mental-health crisis, often on petty charges tied to their psychiatric distress.

Fun fact about Kristi Noem is she’s been barred by tribal governments from setting foot on most tribal land in South Dakota (where she was governor) because she sucks. She’s not even fully assimilated into the society that exists within the borders of the country she longs to expel people from

I joined labor and community leaders in protesting the violent ICE raids throughout Los Angeles, and calling for the immediate release of SEIU-USWW President David Huerta. We must come together to stand up against the attacks on our communities, workers, and First Amendment rights.

Horrific. And private prison companies are getting rich on all this. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Torrance boy, 9, detained by ICE for planned deportation to Honduras. Community is outraged. He was arrested and taken to Texas. Orange Brandon is weak and pathetic. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Tenant organizing gets the goods!

San Francisco swooped in on an ICE van used to detain a person who showed up for Immigration Court ✊

Despite numerous skeets highlighting illegal use of T10 forces, this is the first I’ve seen that is clearly so. Know they will try — there is no way this activity can be categorized as anything other than direct support of LE.

Uhhh our whole interlibrary loan department got laid off yesterday so if you're waiting for something from us.... it might be a minute.

Unfortunately, the existing literature runs kind of orthogonally to what I want to do with it, but I'm starting to put together a through line. The end goal is an argument about the ways Mormon doctrine shaped information technology and the methods of the modern administrative state.

New York’s worst kept political secret: Republicans run as conservative Democrats in Blue areas when they know they can’t win as Republicans. You can’t be an opposition party when you’re funded by the opposition.

"Airbnb’s super PAC is spending $1 million on a digital ad attacking [NYC mayoral candidates Zohran Mamdani, Scott Stringer and Brad Lander] for not supporting short-term rentals as the company lobbies to expand its business opportunities in New York City."

'As usual, the judge expressed frustration that the respondents had not yet found lawyers.' A reminder that people are not entitled to representation in immigration cases. (Which is why it's so important to support pro bono organizations doing this work!)

🚨BREAKING: Georgia Supreme Court STRIKES DOWN four State Election Board rules concerning certification and hand counting ballots last year. A big victory for GA voters and a stinging defeat for the RNC and election deniers. www.democracydocket.com/cases/georgi...

Absolute fucking 🔥. "Over eight hours...people throwing back tear gas...throwing anything that they could to defend themselves...Border Patrol retreated. “And the hundreds of workers in the factories were able to escape. If any community was going to fight back without apology, it was this one."

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house." The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

Did ICE call in a fake emergency to the FDNY to give cover to a van leaving full of immigrants? They've done it before and looks like they've done it again. @hellgatenyc.com with the scoop. hellgatenyc.com/fdny-ice-hea...
