Like if another candidate for office put me in this advertisement I would probably say something.

Folks seeking an easily digestible account of the 1979 Iranian revolution and its consequences in the U.S. could to worse than to pick up this brick.

I will be honest: we are not talking nearly enough about the downstream effects of these ICE and CBP deployments.

For example: landlords and debt collectors file more aggressive collection and eviction suits with dubious (or no) factual bases, knowing that the defendants won't go to the courthouse.

“The problem here is that people are stuck in a fantasy of liberal legal formalism that imagines that police are accountable to the public," Alex Vitale, the author of The End of Policing, told me.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?

Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.

And they almost shot some kids in the process.

for no reason, thinking back to Occupy and the behind-the-scenes work undertaken by some folks to ensure media didn’t always keep calling the same available white guy…

all transphobia is now epstein coded. anytime someone tells me we need to protect women’s sports, i’m calling in a neighborhood raid, and seizing their laptops for evidence. my only response to transphobia is now “you sound like
jeffrey epstein”

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE.

Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

I saw it too:

Trump tweeted a photo of Ilhan Omar next to the Twin Towers burning, in his first term.

They threatened to lynch her. And her child. And what did the Democrats do? They threw Omar to the wolves because she criticized Netanyahu and the Israel lobby.

A masked ICE officials with a 5 year old child

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Is your head full of rocks

Holy fuck they actually did it

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

Text description: right to strike bill introduced in 2026 session. Send a letter to your state reps. This bill will grant K-12 school staff and teachers as well as public library workers the legal right to go on strike. In order to get it passed, our state legislatures need to hear from you! From there, we can work to cover all public sector employees in future bills. Send a letter to your state reps: gbdsa.org/R2Sletter

Baltimore County teachers want the right to strike Maryland law prevents teachers from striking, but educators want that to change.

Baltimore County teachers want the right to strike. Could legislation make it happen?

I'm so tired man.

I need you cis people to understand this. Rachel Levine did everything right. Legal name change. Legal sex update. So professional and accomplished she got SENATE APPROVAL as an open trans woman.

There's nothing we can do that they won't ignore to hurt us. So don't let them.

physical media is more important than ever and it should be accessible to people everywhere. Baltimore has had a nonprofit video store for year’s now, and one of its co-founders @ericallenhatch.bsky.social wrote about how it can be replicated www.patreon.com/posts/24007106

We call on all people to escalate BDS campaigns to burry the colonial Trump-Netanyahu plan — as many colonial projects have been defeated before.

To be very clear, Virginia Giuffre was made to say she mistakenly identified Alan Dershowitz as one of the people who sexually abused her. Here is the proof from this week's Epstein files dropped by the House Oversight Committee.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Here's your chance to do something about the people being starved and beaten in Broadview ICE custody.
