Immigrant families are being forced to put up signs saying 'I work in a care home' to escape the racist violence that's been unleashed in Northern Ireland I come from this part of the world and I cannot tell you the sense of profound shame and horror this fills me with. It disgraces us

DHS is also lying about him being repeatedly told to back away. The video shows the men who pushed him don’t even open their mouths, they just grab him and get them out of the room without saying a word.

An MSNBC anchor just definitively claimed Padilla didn't identify himself when video clearly shows he did. So fucking irresponsible. This is how lies spread.

If they're willing to assault and tackle a sitting US senator in front of national media, what do you think they're doing to immigrants in detention centers?

Purely anecdotal but I’m having trouble finding great up-to-date tracking so figured I’d share that over the past 2 weeks I’ve seen a significant uptick in people presenting with COVID and complications like organ damage (mostly kidney injury and hepatitis but pneumonia; too) needing hospitalization

This is insane and also I hope that seeing a US fucking senator thrown to the ground and cuffed for asking a question will help some of the people who still aren’t getting it to recognize that THE POLICE ARE THE SOURCE OF THE VIOLENCE

As many as 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela will reportedly be told today they have had their permission to live and work in the US revoked by DHS. The scale of this abomination is difficult to process. www.cnn.com/2025/06/12/p...

I think this is something I've missed when talking about why the far right values attacking trans people so highly. It's not just that it radicalises people and teaches them anti human rights arguments, it's that it literally cultivates authoritarian thinking theconversation.com/antagonism-t...

Incredible reporting. As part of the deal to send peeps to Salvadoran gulag, USG stayed silent on Bukele’s peeps stealing US aid money, which they sent to MS-13 as pay offs to gang leaders as part of the show of fighting crime — & the US has also agreed to return gang leaders from US custody. WUT

The on-going bad faith weaponization of “harmful to minors” to censor political speech, healthcare resources, public performance and education, and to bring an end the open internet, is the one of the great unreported stories of this year.

For anyone to claim the EHRC is independent is farcical when Kemi Badenoch admitted she ensured the right people were in place and Falkner confirmed yesterday they changed the board to pursue this "course correction".

True but they don't care. They do not care at all about holding contradictory worldviews. It does not matter to them at all. They don't really believe that cis people pretend to be trans to commit crimes, they just hate trans people and need an excuse

Florida child welfare officers found a 17-year-old living in a shed with no food or water. They sent him to a foster home... and then reported him to ICE, whereupon he was handcuffed and shackled and marched to detention. Not only is that victimizing him again, it violates Florida's own rules.

RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitals…

ICE agents pulled this guy out of his car and beat the shit out of him, putting him in the E.R. Then they pulled him out of the hospital saying he was a "violent gang member." (He's a Doordash driver with only a traffic ticket on his record.) Now he's just...gone. What a nightmare.
