Everyone needs to know this story. We have reached the point at which DHS is openly criminalizing US citizens who speak out against ICE/CBP, & it is all about to become much worse with the coming new domestic "counterterrorism" plan and a flood of new Congressional funding abc7.com/post/ice-age...

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Yesterday, the University of Haifa banned our student chapter from campus activism until the end of the semester. It caved to right-wing pressure in the form of an anonymous letter. The reason? A silent vigil that we held last week for Palestinian children killed in Gaza. (1/3)

New Yorkers: if you need a moving company, try Cool Hand Movers. The cofounder is a former investigative journalist and EMT & a great guy. They moved me and my family twice when we lived in Brooklyn. Hands-down the best company we used (we moved nine times in 20 years) www.coolhandmovers.com

We are at a point where it’s no longer “hey the GOP did something illegal.” The Republican is PRIMARILY criminal. It’s not a feature, it’s their core activity.

bloomberg: ~90% of deported migrants to el salvador had no criminal record

submitted 19 days ago • 237 comments

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

It’s moments like these when we might consider it relevant that the current FBI director who might be charged with investigating this crime appeared eight times on the podcast of Stew Peters, a Christian Nationalist who recently called for a “final solution” to America’s “Jewish problem.”

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

In addition to the importance of due process, there are other reasons why we should be concerned about the border czar saying ICE agents are the people who decide whether a detainee is linked to a gang and should be deported immediately

The first measles death in the US since 2015. In a school-aged child who was not vaccinated. Senseless tragedy. Measles is no joke. And there are many outcomes from measles infection other than death that we should also care about and try to prevent. Everything about this was entirely preventable.

If you were wondering what white supremacy looks like, it is when you deprive darker-skinned people in Afghanistan, who risked their lives to help American troops as translators, refugee status, but give it to white South Africans who only helped keep black people down with Apartheid.

The GOP majority in the house is 3 seats. There are two special elections in Florida coming up and one in NY. With a few bucks to donate to those efforts, we can shave or even erase that majority. We don't have to wait two years.

This is truth. SO many of you have no idea the sputtering, wild-eyed meltdown you would trigger. Criticism means nothing coming from marginalized person; they've already decided we don't matter. But YOU? You're supposed to be on THEIR side. And I can almost guaranteed they just assume you are.

Dems should take a hard line: no CRs or debt ceiling increases without full reinstatement of fired federal employees with back pay and an independent special prosecutor that Trump can't fire to investigate what happened over the last week with Musk.

Trump is letting the richest man in the world wreak havoc on our government. It's unconstitutional and it's dangerous. Democrats must fight back. And that starts by voting no on his nominees. I urge my colleagues to join me. We cannot confirm any more of Trump's chaos cabinet.

Bullshit. The public backlash is just too much to handle. Some might be asking if they are either liars or incompetent. They are both.

I’ve been thinking about why I’m so angry at commentators who say Musk is acting as a Nazi to troll & as a joke. I realized it’s because I’ve spent YEARS trying to get media to take Musk’s antisemitism seriously, only to see that after they finally notice, they’ve found a way to downplay it again.

Regarding Tanith Lee; for those just embarking on her work, I feel that literarily she's a bit like the little girl with the little curl on her forehead. When she's bad she's horrid (in a fascinating florid purple way) but when she is good, she is very, VERY good. I recommend Biting the Sun.

when you have anti-DEI proponents openly going after black military officers for recruiting from HBCUs and suing schools for their black and Hispanic enrollment even after the schools ended any racial preferences then the only honest label for these people is "segregationist"
