In video provided exclusively to MSNBC's The Weekend: Primetime, immigration agents are seen attempting to pull a man out a window of a Chicago home. Agents also jumped a fence into the locked backyard and manhandled people doing work. Hear from the homeowner tonight on The Weekend: Primetime.

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “They’re talking about getting rid of the Voting Rights Act — that may likely happen in months… they’re rewriting history… ANTI-WOKE IS ANTI-BLACK… we’re not doing enough. We’re not calling this out.”

Donald Trump's puppet DOJ has no business screwing around with next month's election.

Sending the feds into California polling places is a deliberate attempt to scare off voters and undermine a fair election.

We will not back down. Californians decide our future — no one else.

This thug move by Trump has nothing to do with election integrity & everything to do with election intimidation. They’ll no doubt focus their bullying in Democratic areas. We will pass Prop 50 despite these tactics.
Justice Department says it will send election monitors to California on Election Day
The unusual announcement comes amid sky-high tensions between state leaders and federal officials and as voting is underway on Prop 50.

If you are wondering how to help people in your community, financial donations to food banks are incredibly important right now.

The USDA has instructed states to deny SNAP nutrition benefits.

As we have said repeatedly at Defend Public Health, MAHA is a joke when kids in the U.S. are hungry.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

When dressing up as a Nazi for Halloween is even remotely acceptable then you know as a country we have lost the plot.

ICE agents stormed an Oregon home without a clear warrant, pointed rifles at the family without showing badges, and held children at gunpoint.

This is terrorism.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

“Let them go a month without meals. Maybe they will get a job”

First, many SNAP recipients have jobs. They’re just living below the poverty line because of tremendous wealth inequality.

Second, many are disabled and children and can’t work.

Third, no one should starve to death.
Support your local food banks if you can

Grateful to @anildash.com for observing that tech has entered the "don't ask don't tell" era of DEI.

Unfortunately in many parts of academia, we don't even have it that good. We *are* being asked, with all the burden that such a request entails.

Right out of the textbooks. Whether it will succeed or not remains to be seen, but there is nothing complicated about what's happening here.
