An ICE officer said, "I don't need a warrant." Things are escalating. We may end up striking simply because we all fear going out. Soon, they will get anyone off the streets for "harboring" people. The ones they released didn't get their phones back. Glendale, CA.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced today that the organization will donate $1 million to immigrant families impacted by recent raids.

#PeopleAreNotIllegal

Mahmoud Khalil emerges from airport security with his wife Noor and newborn, legal team and Rep. AOC.

Held for over 100 days, never charged w a crime. Missed his child’s birth, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, graduation. This can’t be allowed to stand. “The judge also ruled that punishing someone over a civil immigration matter by detaining them was unconstitutional.” Hope this sets precedent.

Good advice.

Stop using the term “illegal immigrant” and “illegal immigration”: It’s inaccurate, misleading and harmful. Good slide from UN Refugee Agency

Solstice flowers. The longest day is the best day. 🌱

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Many things are true at once: This is protected speech. It is indecent & giving it an award is indecent. Our legal system protects that indecency. We all depend on our neighbors’ decency to keep us safe.

Yes, Rep. Melissa Hortman was a consequential Speaker of the Minnesota house. But what distinguishes her career is character. Did you know this about her?

On World Refugee Day, we stand in solidarity with refugees around the world and recognize that every person deserves a safe and secure place to call home. Here in the United States, we must continue to honor the resilience of refugees and welcome them to this nation of immigrants.

The government’s detention of Mahmoud Khalil demonstrates how a century of immigration law has evaded constitutional rights.

Former NIH director Francis Collins speaks out about why he left NIH: “I didn’t feel I could raise alarms about the harms that were being done to medical research. I was prohibited from speaking about it.” #medsky www.aamc.org/news/former-...

“No Kings Day”: A compilation

A customer told me she couldn't believe this store would put up a Pride display, because what if children see it?? Anyway, it was my display, and I'm proud of it, and you (and your children) should all see it. #BookSky 📚💙

EXCLUSIVE: A judge was lobbying for a seat on the federal bench. After he sided with the president in a defamation case, Donald Trump gave him one.

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.
