Summary: - Dude is an immigrant agricultural worker working in the US - ICE abducts and "detains" him - Private "detention" facility has him doing farmwork - So he's still an immigrant agricultural worker working in the US, but now paid only $1 a day Nobody's been convicted of a crime or anything

It takes historically 3.5 % of a population to push a tyrant out of power. Today the US reached 11 Million protesters for No Kings Day nationwide That’s 3.23 % We are almost there, America.

We should make June 14th No Kings Day permanently.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

Rush job on a busy morning, but here’s a protestors’ rights flyer with tearaway cards to post around the neighborhood ahead of Saturday (print double-sided, flip on short edge): gem7.neocities.org/pubs/protest...

"What we are witnessing in Los Angeles is not only a protest; it is self-defense." Fuck yeah, @melissagiragrant.com. Read and share this. newrepublic.com/article/1963...

Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho didn't hold back when expressing his anger and "contempt" after agents with Homeland Security attempted to gain access to two elementary schools earlier this week.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

"Democracies are not to be taken for granted, and the institutions that support democracy should not be taken for granted." #FreePeopleReadFreely Spectacular interview with Dr. Carla Hayden on @cbssundaymorning.bsky.social today. www.cbsnews.com/news/former-...

Very cool that a verified Twitter account apparently claiming to rep DHS has gotten thousands of retweets of its claim of civil war after sharing a stock photo of bricks. bsky.app/profile/roth...

LOS ANGELES: Stay off the streets tonight. Stay home. Stay safe. Tom Homan says the National Guard might be deployed — and I’m telling you, he wants violence. They’re baiting us to react so they can escalate. Rule #1: Never protest at night. That’s when the worst happens—under cover of darkness.

“the new material is as strong as petroleum-based plastics but breaks down into its original components when exposed to salt. Those components can then be further processed by naturally occurring bacteria,thereby avoiding generating microplastics that can harm aquatic life and enter the food chain.”

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Hell of a photo

Both reporters have checked in, but are currently covered in CS gas. Currently reviewing footage, @acatwithnews.bsky.social thinks it may have been a tear gas canister that he took to the forehead

"They know it's wrong, and we should never let them forget what they're doing because if they want to say they're pro-life we're gonna make them prove it." @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social delivered this message in front of the Supreme Court as we rallied to free Andry. Join the fight: freeandry.org

If you strip away the egos and shitposting, the Trump-Musk feud is really an argument over how comprehensively to screw over poor and working people—over how best to make our society a meaner, crueler, less equal, more savage place. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1962...

Rep @rokhanna.bsky.social, Elon Musk threw up Sieg Heils, let Nazis back on Twitter, and has repeatedly spread and repeated white supremacist memes and language. You're not only committing a grave political mistake, you're violating the most basic standards of ethics and morality. Shame on you.

Look at how adorable this book is!

Homosexuality has been observed in 1500 species. Homophobia has only been observed in one. So scientifically, homophobia is unnatural
