We are calling on ICE to immediately release journalist Estefany Rodriguez, who has covered immigration, including ICE actions, for the Spanish-language news site Nashville Noticias.

Can you imagine cleaning rusty car parts with your bare, unprotected hands to help feed your family? To Ahmed nothing is too much for his family, but he deserves rest and help too.

Donations give him support and help.

Protesters target Citizens Bank for funding U.S. ICE detention contractors CoreCivic, Geo Group Some of Citizens' business relationships have made the bank a target for protesters critical of the rapid growth of the federal immigration detention under President Donald Trump.

After big banks declined to fund ICE prison contractors, $CFG @CitizenBank stepped in, drawing protesters. My story: www.inquirer.com/business/cit...

Mega Man 11 was a Union game, and had a Union contract and all its protections.

This means at some point Capcom actively chose to go back on a standard that had already been set and go BACK to NU (with no ENFORCEABLE protections).

Ben did not give this role up willingly. He’s trying to protect VO.

Stop platforming this asshole. Establishment and β€œlesser evil” bullshit isn’t popular anymore. We already know y’all are all about preserving your favorite parts of said Establishment and nobody is buying this shit anymore.

Also get the fuck off Substack.

Insurrectionist Brunch: Trumpists plotted to deploy military on U.S. soil Before the 2024 election, a cadre of MAGA loyalists met over brunch to plot ways for Trump to use the military domestically.

"Its members spent months working to create plans for Trump that would merge military forces with domestic law enforcement through a new command structure that would ultimately answer directly to Trump." www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/trumpis...

Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called β€œNumident” and the β€œMaster Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."

I’ve been photographing anti-ICE and related yard/window/tree/street signs around Minneapolis. The variety of commercial and especially handmade signs is amazing, as is the urge for people to let their neighbors know they care and are furious in ways big and small. Batch #5

This is just astonishingly great reporting.

All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.

And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

It's all there. All of the bullshit claims about emergencies and national security threats. The goal all along was to give Trump the power to deploy the military domestically to suppress dissent and crush MAGA's enemies.

These are dangerous people. They're now in the highest levels of government.

Oh man OK so like this is terribly bad, but from a strategy standpoint this is a hot move. The reason the Russians can't topple Ukraine is cause instead of spending 10M on a tank from the 70s, they sent dudes on e bikes with NLAWs for a fraction of the cost to blow up said tanks

A kind thought: Ask how much your actions separate you from the person you're trying to help. Memey text and images may help with algorithms, but ask if they're really helping those families. Sometimes it's better to narrow your focus and be sincere & empathetic in your actions.

Just a thought.

This is amazing.

When the government kills a crucial report, independent scientists decide to write it anyway and release it outside of government channels.

That’s science serving society, even when our political leaders don’t.

Iran is in the 10th day of the second internet shutdown of 2026.

Within the small amount of traffic that continues to trickle out of Iran since Feb-28, several networks experienced further drops in traffic volume on Mar-5 possibly due to airstrikes.
