Congress has one shot in January to block funding for ICE & its multi-billion dollar panopticon and we need to exert maximum pressure on them immediately! 🪡🧵

"I knew then and I know now, when it comes to justice, there is no easy way to get it. You can't sugarcoat it. You have to take a stand and say, 'This is not right.' And I did." Rest in power, Ms. Claudette Colvin. The fight for equality continues. ❤️

This is the thing about the "Don't give them the pretext to send in more feds" arguments. The administration is using its own murder of an unarmed civilian as the pretext to send in more agents. They do not need a pretext and will invent them if they want.

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school

This glib statement is all the more risible when you recall how many law enforcement officers used their vehicles as weapons against protesters in 2020... and how many Republican-dominated states *sought to legalize killing protesters with vehicles* as a reaction to the demonstrations

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

Uh… check out what ChatGPT allegedly told a man before he killed his mother and then himself. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants. We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

It's so irresponsible to lie and fear monger like this, especially when you present yourself as a trusted journalist. Now I have to question everything else this man brought to my attention

But let’s be clear: every day, masked ICE agents are acting violently against our neighbors, illegally abducting them, holding them in cruel and inhumane conditions. Treating them as less-than-human, and not deserving due process.

The reality is that fascist are already rewriting history to create their fascist, future and backwards looking myths.

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions. Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/h...

On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout. On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar. This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media. Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵

“What they’re offering people is not health insurance or economic security,” Stanley says, “They’re offering them delight in the torture of others.”

The most votes for Trump in any state came from California. The second most votes for Harris in any state came from Texas. The notion that US states are politically uniform, and everyone there deserves the consequences of state elections is absurd.

I often get asked how the Hands of Eir program works... what we do. I might as well explain our CURRENT process. Our work as an exit program is actually fairly casual. We interview potential former far-right extremist / white nationalist clients who then get paired with a peer mentor—usually me.

2. These are not companies that supported the bill by donating to the politicians that voted for it (although most did that too). These are companies that endorsed the bill publicly and were featured on a White House webpage. People should know the companies that made this choice.

The Sandman returns to Netflix tomorrow. If I had one suggestion it would be this: don't watch it.

NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s lawyers seek permission to file an amended complaint in his civil case in Maryland. Among other things, the amended complaint “includes Abrego Garcia's first-hand account of torture and mistreatment at CECOT…”

The Trump administration is currently holding hostage nearly $7B in federal funding for K-12 schools--funding that was supposed to be distributed yesterday. They've stolen $80M from Wisconsin students and teachers alone. How much have they stolen from your state? www.edweek.org/policy-polit...

This entire story is INSANE

It’s hard to think of a better encapsulation of the Democratic Party right now than a 13-post rationalization for why doing nothing is actually the smartest move.

Federal agents used explosives to enter a U.S. citizen’s home and entered — guns drawn — on a baby, a 6-year-old, and their mother. She believes it’s because her boyfriend attended an ICE protest where he accidentally hit a cop car (and was released by cops). www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/h...

Those were for staff, not the migrants. Which honestly makes it even worse.

First of all, incredible concept for a rom com. Second of all, HELL YES. This guy has been begging to star in a RomCom for ages. He is an adorable person. This is gonna be great I’m so happy for him.

Jake Sherman is reporting that the Medicaid gender affirming care ban has been removed from the reconciliation bill! Huge news!

"Andrew Cuomo is visibly upset and people are crying"

"We have to pull back on palestine support" "we have to pull back on trans rights" "Dems should be more centrist" EAT HOT ASPHALT YOU FUCKING LOSERS!!!

Andrew Cuomo won’t see your mean tweets about him, but your friend who sexually harassed thirteen women and covered up nursing home deaths will and you need better friends.

Holy shit.

I can't wait to vote schumer out

These are two very similar stories of Mississippi families torn apart by ICE. But Kerlin Moreno-Orellana's story has gotten way less attention on social media than Kasper Eriksen's did, and thus his family's GoFundMe is getting WAY less support. It's a big disparity.

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

stating the obvious but its so fundamentally insulting to women/survivors everywhere for Andrew Cuomo to have the nerve to run at all let alone be a frontrunner. It would be less insulting &demeaning to just spit in our faces. Every supporter/endorser of his is a gross misogynist

Here is Mahmoud, addressing the media outside.

Adriana Smith did not give birth to a baby. She was used as an incubator, cut open, and a baby was taken out of her lifeless body. A Black woman was used as a science experiment.

What’s been happening in the West Bank? Since Israel launched its war with Iran early Friday morning, the Israeli military has closed off the West Bank, with entrances and exits to cities and villages blocked by checkpoints, cement blocks, and metal gates. (1/4)

Shameful as fuck. And also the lights make his head look like he also got shot with rubber bullets by LAPD this weekend

for all of the praise of law enforcement we've seen since Saturday, it's now clear cops had at least two opportunities to prevent Vance Boelter from murdering Melissa Hortman and her husband but failed to do so.

it is instructive to consider the careers of people 'cancelled' during #MeToo vs the women who spoke out.

As an independent journalist, @spitfirenews.com will never compromise on holding politicians accountable for sexual harassment and other forms of gender-based violence. Things won’t get better until we stop electing people who abuse their power. spitfirenews.com/p/stop-votin...
