Prefaced by saying all immigrants should be allowed to stay anyway, 180+ citizens whom the regime tried to disappear in less than a year is a horrifying number

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

"At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

Really think the biggest win today aside from just numbers is negatively polarizing the regime of 12-year-olds into fully adopting #YESKINGS as their official stance.

Jd Vance posted an AI video of trump as a king. Complete with crowned and sword. They fucking love their kings..

The insurrectionist "president," who spent his campaign hinting that he was going to cheat in the election, is depicting himself as a king literally shitting all over Americans. On what grounds can anyone, in any capacity, legally follow his orders? I dare someone to make the affirmative case here.

A man at the Portland, no Kings protests wearing a plaid shirt, jeans and white tennis shoes holding a sign that says Portland is on fire with beautiful foliage. It’s actually really nice.

Over 7 million people went to No Kings today.

Most states don’t have 7 million people in them.

Dear Europe, especially Germany,

Stop obsessing over what Trump will or won’t do. Hoping & praying America will step up so we don’t have to is dangerously stupid.

Step up yourself, destroy Russia’s war economy, & give Ukraine what they need to win.

Europe must defend Europe.

Where are the 8th Amendment rights of those detained by ICE? Everything they experience for their potential CIVIL offense (NOT criminal!!) sounds like cruel and unusual punishment!

One of the most PRACTICAL movements in the 20th century was the Black Panther Party for Self Defense. People think "practical" and imagine ineffective, mired, milquetoast. It doesn't have to be. It can be INSPIRATIONAL while staying focused on effecting real change and building real coalitions.

Brosephus @brosephus.bsky.social · 15d

Practicality is what got the Civil Rights Act, the Voters Rights Act, and every other advancement in society.

Study history. This country moves backwards at the speed of light and only gains ground in steps.

Even the highly regarded New Deal gave the middle finger to Black Americans.

It's funny to have to read opinion pieces on fucking... YAHOO NEWS to see an article calling Stephen Miller a "ghoulish white supremacist," you know?

Like, "Haha, that description should be on the tip of every reporter's tongue, haha, why isn't it? WHY ISN'T IT?" Funny. Hilarious. Get it? 😡

Last week, Dean Spade talked about how we’re all being socialized into being anti-social — which is really the heart of most of our problems today — and the only way out is to push ourselves to become social again.

We will never fully defeat fascism if we can't grapple with the fact that police are never held accountable. Very few people and certainly fewer politicians are honest about policing in this country. And that has led us to where we are now with ICE.

“Young adults aren’t having enough kids” bro I’m employed full-time with a damn PhD and I’m struggling to afford both groceries and rent.

I love kids but I can barely afford my pets.

Want us to have kids? Try UBI, rent control, universal healthcare, cheaper child care.

🧵 Analysis: Banning abortion is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes, as abortion bans instantly oppress a huge swath of society. Enforcing them begets a police state—an upside for dictators from Mussolini to Orbán.

Banning Abortion Is a Hallmark of Authoritarian Regimes

From the Soviet Union to El Salvador, authoritarian governments have, historically, targeted reproductive rights. Now, it’s happening in the U.S.
