Dawn is the most inspirational person I know - she always speaks truth to power

basically what's happened is that i have interacted very slightly with our healthcare infrastructure this week and it has made me a quantifiably worse person

Wow, I'm honestly shocked at this. Disgusting to see so many people and organizations be complicit with this "administration"

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧡

For Rhode Island political twitter refugees, @wjdennen.dev has recreated his RI Government Bot and I couldn’t be happier.

Reposting with alt text! This is from the photojournalist who was violently tackled and detained by ICE earlier today.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Website that leaked info about ICE agents is down after β€˜cyberattack,’ founder says Founder of ICE List believes the β€˜sophisticated’ cyberattack could have originated in Russia

The Russian intelligence services intervene aggressively to attack a website that leaked the names of new ICE hires, proving that Kristi Noem was aggressively recruiting and deploying Jan 6 rioters, including the head of the Proud Boys, a violent white supremacist group.

There you have it; the Trump admin allows ICE lawyer James Rodden to stay on the job. His personal social media account praised Hitler, supported white nationalism, and said that America started going downhill the day that Lincoln was elected.

Bringing back Limewire to illegally rip copies of reporting suppressed by the government is definitely some cyberpunk shit

@emzconk.bsky.social shared our friendship origin story. The moral of which is that you meet cool people when you're involved in your community and local government.

What a great concept! Engagement is key to building and sustaining trust in government and this is such a cool way to do it.

I'd love to see this in RI, I think it could potentially work at the state level.

#voter list maintenance is happening now in #RI! Make sure your info is correct and that you’re registered to vote. Go to vote.ri.gov to check your voter record. Thanks to RI Secretary of State @Gregg Amore for his efforts and for NOT doing this during an election year! #PSA #CapCut

You Can't Refuse To Be Scanned by ICE's Facial Recognition App, DHS Document Says Photos captured by Mobile Fortify will be stored for 15 years, regardless of immigration or citizenship status, the document says.

New from 404 Media: you can't refuse to be scanned by ICE's new facial recognition app, according to internal DHS document I obtained. Photos captured by the app are stored for 15 years, including U.S. citizens. We've seen officers scanning faces w/ phones on streets

70% of working age SNAP recipients work full time. The companies should pay them a living wage! SNAP is corporate welfare.

This behavior is indistinguishable from the worst secret polices of fascist regimes of the 20th century.

Also yes. But structure! I love structure. Predictability and order are tools that help get things done
