ICE is stealing from the people they detain whether they are U.S. citizens, have legal status, or are undocumented... watches, jewelry, phones, money or anything they feel is of value.

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, β€œNo One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.

Beautiful and devastating all at once.

Right now Rikers Island, the physically largest jail in the entire United States, is holding under 7,000 people.

ICE's warehouse plans include detention camps which will hold between 8,500-10,000 people in buildings not designed for human habitation.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

What’s happening in these concentration camps is cruel β€” and dangerous.
Active TB won't stay locked up - it will spread into communities too.

End the cruelty. Treat people. Stop the spread.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Programming that refuses to accept a hyphenated name as "valid" is piss-poor programming. Do better.

RFK Jr.'s deadly anti-vax crusade doesn’t stop at U.S. borders. Now the U.S. says "no thimerosal, no funding" -- putting $300M at risk for Gavi, which helps the world’s poorest countries access life-saving vaccines. Thimerosal keeps multi-dose vials safe from microbial contamination. πŸ’‰

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

Stop saying we shouldn’t impeach Nazis because they’ll be replaced by someone worse. We should never stop fighting to remove these evil monsters. Don’t obey in advance.
