Many of y’all asked how you can support and donate to our female athletes and the celebrations,,, so I created a Go Fund Me. I’m hopeful this can have an impact beyond the weekend and help those that represent the best of the US gofund.me/140322128

Makes sense when you realize inflation is a wealth transfer from the poor to the rich.

Good morning to everyone except the officials who signed off on a detention facility where inadequate screening contributed to a TB outbreak, three detainees died, and evidence was reportedly missing or destroyed in one detainee death investigation. None of this is normal or acceptable.

Trump wants to take us back to the Spoils System of the 1800s. Civil service protections exist so federal employees can do their jobs based on evidence—not on telling the president what he wants to hear. That’s how you get better government. Not loyalty tests.

Adelanto ICE hunger strike update: @eltragon.bsky.social is receiving information about current retaliations happening inside.

Bigots like Andy Ogles have no place in America. Anyway…Happy Pride, everyone!

Staging these sites under the EOP & circumventing fedramp means we can’t see who’s doing what, who’s writing the code, etc - things required for govt sites. This is scary stuff. They could fabricate voter registration fraud and use it to throw out votes, for example, and we couldn’t check it. END/

Pride month is coming up and I cannot tell you enough, cis people, that the best thing you can do right now is stand up for trans people financially, publicly, and in any way you can think of so this witch hunt ends, once again, with bigots on the wrong side of history.

Louisiana just criminalized being poor. Sleep outside: arrested. Can’t pay the fine or the mandatory “treatment program”? The court orders unpaid labor for the state. That’s not a treatment pipeline. That’s a forced labor pipeline and Republicans built it on purpose. Cruel and inhumane.

CALL YOUR MEMBER OF CONGRESS AND TELL THEM TO GET TO DELANEY HALL NOW: (202) 224-3121

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

If you think your single vote doesn't matter, remember that authoritarian systems spend millions trying to suppress it. They know its value. Do you?

Daily Memo: Hunger Strikes Begin In California ICE Detention Centers As Conditions Worsen Full report: lataco.com/adelanto-hun...

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

Donald Trump bought this guy a new pick up with your tax dollars. Seems like a decent talking point to me.

Without the library, there is no history, only the stories power wants told.

"“It’s possible that we’re starting to see the consequences of severe and sudden cuts to global health programs that have eroded surveillance and allowed deadly viruses to spread undetected...” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/w...

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

On May 2, agents followed Leonardo Garcia Venegas back to his home because they didn’t believe his claims of citizenship or that the REAL ID he showed them was legitimate. It was familiar territory: He’d already been detained twice. 🔗 Read more: propub.li/3Ppaufa

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

Daily Memo: A Push for ‘Quieter’ Immigration Raids and An Increasing Use of Force at Detention Centers We are also exactly a month away from June 6th, when the Border Patrol arrived in Los Angeles and began the raids that terrorized so many around the country. lataco.com/quieter-ice-...

You’ll find the names and stories of the victims as best as we at L.A. TACO could research them. We hope this list offers a moment to remember these individuals. The full list: lataco.com/ice-death-tr... By Memo Torres, Aisha Wallace-Palomares, Izzy Ramirez, and Odessa Hairapetian

“Not being racist is a starting position. It is not a contribution. In a five-alarm fire, standing at a safe distance and feeling bad about the smoke is not allyship. It is observation. We are past that point.”

María de Jesús Estrada Juárez was applying for her green card and thought she was doing everything right. Instead, she was arrested and deported to Mexico. www.wired.com/story/a-woma...

NEW: U.S. citizen Leonardo Garcia Venegas appeared before Congress after he was held twice by immigration agents. Even though his story went viral, and top immigration officials have claimed citizens are not being arrested, he was detained a third time.

Austin TX kid taken by ICE weeks before he graduates high school. If you were horrified by Minnesota, give here.

New research finds that ICE raids and deportation fears disrupted local economies, reduced work among undocumented immigrants, and may have hurt some U.S.-born workers too. n.pr/4uJCV6t

Oudone Lothirath was a 57-year-old Laotian refugee who came to the U.S. as a child in the 1980s. ICE detained him on Jan. 6 amid the Minneapolis sweeps. He missed 4 of 5 scheduled chemotherapy sessions for terminal Hodgkin's lymphoma. He later entered hospice.

It’s time. Meet in Selma. Saturday, May 16th. blackpowerwarroom.com/dayofaction/

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

ICE arrested a 5th and 2nd grader at the school bus stop in San Antonio as their classmates watched in horror. Their stepmother was detained with them. The community at Alamo Heights Independent School District elementary is speaking out—no child should be locked away at the Dilley trailer prison.

It's ELECTION DAY for school boards in Texas. Get out there and vote!

At midnight President Trump will be in further violation of the 1973 War Powers Resolution, which requires the end of all hostilities after 60 days unless authorized by Congress. We just sent a letter to the White House and Congress reminding them of this deadline.

This Everyday All Day👇🏽 ‼️

All adults and some children on ICE flights—50+ flights a day—are shackled at the wrists and ankles. I’ve heard from migrants, and watched myself several times, as ICE guards carry elderly wheelchair users, shackled, onto ICE flights. It isn’t for safety. gillianbrockell.com/what-is-ice-...

JFC!! Family members can't work and earn a living if they are the sole caregiver for a family member. How are they supposed to support themselves?

I also want to shout @lataco.bsky.social's great feature on the organizing in Monterey Park, aptly titled "How to Stop a Data Center in Your Backyard":

Fisherman. We're blowing up fishing boats.

Evergreen reminder this 420: No one should be in prison for weed.

Brutal.

Wisconsin is showing that you can fight creeping authoritarianism by getting organized and consistently voting, year after year, in small races and big ones, to win back democracy by voting in people who actually support democratic process.

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

If your response to someone saying call your reps is some doomerism response or why bother: YOU ARE HELPING MAGA AND THE TRUMP REGIME If you tell people who are taking any type of action to resist that it isnt worth it: YOU ARE HELPING MAGA AND THE TRUMP REGIME Stand together in resistance

BREAKING: Another person has died in ICE custody, per required notification to Congress, marking 15 deaths in detention this year and 45+ since Trump took office again.
