"When ICE grabbed Rodney, he was in the process of receiving new prosthetic legs. The detention centre is refusing to let him have a day pass to go get them, so his health is declining."

This is almost word for word the kind of stuff you would hear from the people doing the Holocaust said by the people in another time and another place committing an ethnic cleansing Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

As you think about how to respond to Portland news, maybe think about dif between rhetoric of Newsom & Pritzker. Newsom mirrored; Pritzker spoke clearly about just how dangerous the moment it is. Do you want to be glib? My argument is that the main agency we have now is precision of language. 1/

🚨URGENT🚨 We are still under siege. We appeal to you to save us from death in northern Gaza before our lives are destroyed. We are now homeless, sleeping in the street & the hospital. We have no tent or shelter, no food or water. We are starving & deprived of food Help if you can🤲⬇️ gofund.me/3cb8c285

Feds just arrested a reporter at the ICE facility outside Chicago

i found this for you:

Jesus Christ, how are you so unbelievably bad at this? A deeply unpopular president is recklessly destroying our government, wrecking our democracy, covering up pedophilia and now threatening to use military force against our own citizens but you're tsk-tsking about protecting healthcare?

Colombian President Gustavo Petro gave one of the most chilling speeches in recent history before the United Nations, and it has been totally ignored by US news media.

THINGS ARE TERRIBLE BUT feed! bsky.app/profile/did:...

When I talk about how not only is it a beautiful thing to be warned about potential violence and how to keep yourself safe- but that all people should *expect* clear and detailed expectations of actions- this is what that looks like.

Lolol plot twist.

Some good news! These plug-in systems are all over Europe, whereas rooftop solar in the US is stupidly tied up in red tape, making it costly. All states should adopt this, like Utah did. And entirely nonpartisan—which is a weird thing to have to say about clean energy.

It is, far and away, the most challenging thing I’ve encountered since entering the academy. And that is saying a lot. I might be working on this but I keep putting it aside because I’m not medicated enough to describe how demoralizing it all is.

The White House knows exactly what it was doing when they published a list of Democrats who have used their voice to call out Trump & Miller’s ICE abuses. The list is now being used by the far right as an enemies list. It’s reckless. It’s dangerous. And it puts lives at risk.

Absolutely beyond parody that Dave Chappelle is headlining a comedy show for Saudi royalty after what, a decade of whining about cancel culture

JD Vance comparing legitimate criticism of ICE to a “blood libel” is one of the most antisemitic things that has happened in US politics recently, and yet none of the major US Jewish groups like the ADL and the AJC have said anything, because they’re too focused on college students.

It’s not that it should surprise you. We know prisons, surplus population, wage theft go hand in hand. It’s just an elegant little case — as employers terrorize workers with AI replacement threats, and compel them back to the office imprisoned people are “WFH” www.mainepublic.org/2025-08-29/i...

They are lying about our cities. They are lying about our immigrant neighbors. They are lying about our trans siblings.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.

It’s a very different energy from Chicago and Boston but it is just as effective, IMHO.

Courage is always an option.

This is 100% something I would do and I hate that I really sat here and watched this about four or five times before I finally started moving again lol

Comedians who have accepted this contract and are going to be at the "Riyadh Comedy Festival" include, lol, Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hart, Bill Burr, Aziz Ansari, Gabriel Iglesias, and Louis CK

You'd think I would have a tolerance for watching queer creatives get devoured alive for not making their creations queer in the specific ways that some aggro queer folks online demand it must be after seeing it happen dozens of times And YET

I’m telling you, there’s just not enough outrage about the craven actions of Speaker Mike Johnson.

Federal Cops ‘Instigating’ Confrontations With Protesters Outside ICE Building, Portland Police Official Says Police say "federal agents’ firing on protesters without warning 'enraged' the crowd, which began 'pulling out makeshift shields and throwing things at the agents who fired on them.'”

Shut down the government and replace all the DINO's in congress, including you and over 94 others for voting for Charlie Kirk day.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Troops. In an American city. Using full force. Your now-regular reminder that Republican members of Congress are letting this happen.

Got my performance review.

"The state issues incarcerated women 15 pads and just 10 tampons per month (five regular and five super)—the same brand and style they offer in the canteen, if you can afford them. The sanitary pads do not have wings, and, only a short while after inserting them, we’re left with a crumpled mess."

Re: today's march in Chicago at 1 pm at 50 W Washington: I have seen some people posting complaints about this march that don't make sense, and I want to respond. First, some people complain that folks should take action in affected communities. They are. It's called rapid response. (Thread.)

“In Michigan, the oldest daughter of four reportedly scrapped plans to attend college in the fall so she could raise her three younger siblings after their widowed father was detained.”
