I really can't state this enough.

Federal agents have been teargassing parks and residential neighborhoods for weeks but didn't show up for a fight downtown today and look what didn't happen.

Wishing absolute worst wishes to our occupying forces. GTFO of Minnesota.
Note how there's no violence or chaos when the cops aren't rioting.
Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

These 10 companies stand to rake in $1 billion by 2027 by helping ICE track down and round up immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

And they stand to make millions more in cash bonuses for surveilling and tracking immigrants in service of ICE’s deporta

So now it's not just the USA that has censorship bills in the senate (KOSA, The SCREEN Act); now Canada has their own censorship bills, too! To all my Canadian folks here who value free speech, please spread the word of these bills!

Forgot to post this yesterday, but I'm posting this in the early morning today.

My bills are stacking up, and my art supplies are running low, so I could really use the help right now.

Much love 🩵

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year.

Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

good to see Democrats focusing on these horrific cases

Polls since last year have shown American people, when given details, reject Trump's brutal mass deportation. But, they need the details

Trump meant every undocumented immigrant and Miller is gleefully carrying that out

Tell the stories
Thank you @booker.senate.gov for highlighting this case.

The Trump administration's “administrative error” has a real human cost.

Here's an intriguing fine detail: @premthakker.bsky.social reports that university officials have discovered that the Trump administration has been revoking not only visas but also the student "status" (based on, e.g., maintaining required course load) that universities usually control
SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning.

It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.
SCOOP: ICE Revoking Students’ Immigration Statuses Without Their or the University’s Knowledge
“Never seen something like this,” say university officials about the secret targeting of Middle Eastern students.

Abolish ICE is not an absurdity statement. ICE was created in 2003 as a response to 9/11 - we do not need it. We already established that following orders isn't an excuse.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

The important thing to understand about the Trump administration is that it is always lying. It isn't simply indifferent to the truth; it has contempt for it and for those who tell it. This must be broadly understood.

Transgender workers see chilling parallels to the Lavender Scare, the McCarthy-era crusade to rid the government of gays and lesbians.

One has to wonder who, in the political spectrum, is going to stand up to this erasure of the trans community. This is nazism.
