🧵This horrific story is being reported all over Latin America, but not the US.

Randall Gamboa, a Costa Rican, was deported from the US in such a critical health condition it required an ambulance flight.

He then died upon his return to Costa Rica after being detained for 8 months by DHS.

Randall Gamboa in Nazi Noem custody for 8 months then died when deported back to Costa Rica.

Anybody have any actual knowledge about what has become of Alligator Alcatraz and all the kidnappers, many of whom at last word had simply disappeared. Haven’t seen an update yet.

The same at our small food pantry in #Vermont.
Donation items that aren't often thought of:
Personal hygiene
Diapers
Cleaning/laundry
Pet food
Spices
YOUR TIME! Volunteering has helped keep me sane - that we make an immediate, positive impact while building community is addictively soul-quenching.

At the food pantry I volunteer at we were absolutely swamped today and by many first timers. We ran out of whole categories of food. Please donate cash to your local organization if you at all can.

I've volunteered at my town's food shelf for 7 yeats & this is one of the better lists! Also check if they accept pet food. Our client's furkids get them through.
And time. If posdible, donate time.

I'm always very open about the fact that I received SNAP benefits and Medicaid for a bit after I fled my abusive husband with my little kid in tow. I used it to help me start over in a new state and go back to school to get my BA. I now have a PhD.
SNAP benefits saved my life.

I'm so disgusted that @danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co represents me in Congress. It's appalling that he cannot endorse the Democratic nominee for NYC mayor. He *must* have a primary challenger next year -- I'll do it myself if necessary.

Daniel Goldman went onto CNN earlier *TODAY* and said

1) He isn't sure if he'll vote for Andrew Cuomo
2) And that he won't endorse Mamdani because Mamdnai has not done enough condemnations of anti-Israel violence

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

This probably makes me sound really radical, but:

I would really like to just be able to enjoy my life.

I'd also love that for you, too.

How do they manage to swarm out of the woodwork on Facebook posts for ICE protests? Is there some sort of MAGA alert system?

I went out and saw the Violent Femmes in my home zone of Burlington, #Vermont. It was a packed room full of dancing, mesmerized people breathing in the joy that gifted musical artists can create. Don't forget to pause for the joy.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

Please find out where all these people are going. Where are the kids from Chicago, naked and zip tied? Where did all the people from "Alligator Alcatraz" go? Why aren't there investigative stories about it on the news? They are kidnapping people.

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

@democrats.org get to messaging that DJT is distracting from kitchen table issues to fulfill his motives to be a dictator. Grocery proces up, jobs lost, healthcare yanked as he throws people in vans, bombs boats, tax $ to support Isreal genocide, cozies w/Putin, evades Epstein & builds a ballroom.

SCHUMER: I hope and pray that that Trump will sit down with us and negotiate

BASH: And if he doesn't, I'm just confirming that you'll vote no. Is that correct?

SCHUMER: We are hoping that he will negotiate with us

BASH: And if he doesn't?

SCHUMER: We must get a better bill than what they have

By the way, you can in fact run a media business where people give you money for goods and services. 56k+ people give The Onion ~$100 and we give them a year of newspapers. This business didn’t exist last year in this way. People will pay for good shit. Now’s the time to break glass and go for it.
