ICE killed another person in a vehicle, this time in Maine. Again, federal agents were not wearing body cameras. Expect the same routine: agents claim they feared for lives, the claims will be unsupported, and no accountability. Expect it to keep happening. www.bangordailynews.com/2026/07/13/p...

"I'm always scared, and my sisters are always scared and I'm scared for my friends,” said Haydee Cruz, a Milwaukee resident who rallied for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo on Sunday. “I am scared for my community. You just never know what'll happen.” www.jsonline.com/story/news/l...

So much police violence is the norm. Around 3 people a day die from police violence. One-third of them are running away. mappingpoliceviolence.us

We have reached such a level of freedom in America that the government no longer knows which companies are selling food that makes people shit themselves to death.

Jayapal: I’m somebody who feels like it doesn’t matter what you want to call it, but we have to disband ICE. We have to melt ICE. We have to abolish ICE. Whatever word you want to use, what we need to get to is the end result: ICE should not exist as it exists. And DHS should not exist as it exists

We have to fight for ourselves. I don't know what to tell people.

The reported shooting comes days after ICE allegedly shot a man in Houston during a traffic stop.

Seems bad that baseball players feel more obligated to give updates on injuries and absences than members of Congress.

Anthropic has a strong financial to convince every CEO that AI can do your job so that you are replaced by Claude and your paycheck goes to AI tokens. As this post implies, they are an unreliable narrator when it comes to the impact of AI on work because their incentives are aligned against workers

My god they’ve found a way to make me hate the endless political text messages even more: trying to trap people into talking to AI. Why. WHY. My will to donate to a candidate or vote for them goes DOWN every time i get another mass text. If only unsubscribe WORKED. www.npr.org/2026/07/12/n...

I just saw someone make a post in reference to the dead man from SC which included that 2015 was a "different America." Folks Freddie Gray was murdered in April 2015 and millions of people were in the streets for weeks and months. A lot of horrible things were happening in the U.S. in 2015.

Thank you for helping me on my journey to survive depression 💚

I have nothing to say about Lindsey Graham, other than he is dead. Not one damn thing.

The U.S. is just a few dozen measles cases away from exceeding the number of cases recorded in 2025.

The University of Washington has some very detailed reports they have made about WHY this is happening. They are using Washington States DOL data. It’s illegal in WA, but the system is accessed via law enforcement and the Feds keep using it anyway. They are most likely doing this EVERYWHERE. 🧵

Seattle:

“a member of a federal crime-fighting task force in Memphis shot and killed a person there on Wednesday, the second fatal shooting by a task force member in four days, and the fourth death involving the unit since… September.” That’s not fighting crime. It’s murder. www.cnn.com/2026/07/09/u...

I've never seen Seattle more alive than the window when the world cup was here. Beyond the specific changes, I would love to see our city mobilize more communal events like the watch parties that would bring people into spaces together around shared purpose.

There are sentences that reveal the character of an entire government, and this one was spoken by a mother to her little daughter, inside a car on a street in Blue Island near Chicago. I am going now, I am going with them, don't be afraid. Stay in your seat, my love, Mommy is going with them.

No one should be ramming vehicles - and that includes actual law enforcement and not just civil enforcement like ICE- most departments don’t allow it because of the extreme risk to officers, “suspects”, and others. no one should be dying at the hands of ICE. Abolish ICE and don’t replace it.

ICE lied because they always do. newrepublic.com/post/212915/...

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

so many people today are too young to internalize what a game-changer that was

“I recognized him immediately: not from his appearance, but from his voice crying in the street as he was bleeding out." That's what Ronaldo, one of Lorenzo’s children, shared. As a daughter of immigrants, it’s hard not to see my own family in these tragedies. We just want our papas to come home.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced that Mexico is taking legal action against the United States in regards to the cold blooded murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by an ICE killer in Texas. They’ll pursue justice for the mistreatment of Mexican nationals. Good. 💙👊

So not only did an ICE agent shoot an unarmed man in the back of a van and lie about it, they’ve detained three eyewitnesses and are pressuring them to self-deport so they don’t testify. This is horrifying shit.

who could have predicted this man with a nazi tattoo who refused to take accountability for said tattoo was a fucking horrible human? Everyone?

If the democrats had done the right thing and pulled support from and condemned Graham Platner WHEN IT WAS DISCOVERED HE HAD A NAZI TATTOO they wouldn't be in this situation right now in Maine. And they may wish to do an autopsy on why so many democrats are like, WE NEED OUR OWN EVIL BASTARD

The love and sense of humor hear just shines through. What a lovely legacy.

Hard to dress well in the summer, but I like how men dressed in Greece, Vietnam, and Cuba during the 1950s/ 60s. Many had camp collar shirts with two pockets. When a shirt is made from a thin, sheer fabric, having two chest pockets serves two purposes: carry things and prevent you from feeling nude.

Ha ha I hate it here

why don't starships have seat belts

ICE agents almost shot a man after an ICE agent dropped his gun and another yelled, “Gun.” 📍 This happened in Everett, Massachusetts. Witnesses had to shout that the detained man was unarmed. americansagainstice.org/subscribe

i'm glad for residents who can leave town this weekend and i truly don't mean to be sanctimonious because i think everyone should be able to leave town for this bullshit, but a lot of washingtonians are POOR. gas is mad expensive rn, holiday weekend planes/trains too. this is a hostage situation

ICE has made 10,000 arrests in a five-day period— doubling its arrest numbers— and much of it hasn’t been reaching headlines. The U.S. has been wrapped up in festivities with several cities hosting the FIFA World Cup, including Seattle, and with Pride events and parades. Read more below & subscribe

This sweet child should still be alive, and the circumstances of his murder *should* be shocking. But police murder people often. They lie about it often. They get caught lying about it often. Nothing changes. A handful of examples follows. It is not an exhaustive list. Not close. 1/16

This will be a thread of tips for people suffering through their first god-awful heat wave with no or subpar AC. I'm a perpetually broke Southern Californian so my ideas run cheap.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

you know what, I’m sold. I’ll even learn about praxis for these things. Terrifying. Universal healthcare like *checks notes* much of the world.

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

Are you even a cat parent if you don't take attendance before leaving the house to make sure somebody isn't trapped in a closet?

🚨 HUGE ongoing surge of ICE arrests, with ICE directing 80% of all officers to go out into the field and round people up, aiming to hit 2,000 arrests a day; which would be more than during the Minneapolis surge. This may be why the nun in Texas got briefly picked up. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

My expert summary of the birthright citizenship case opinions: Roberts: I don’t want to be responsible for a civil war happening again, keep birthright citizenship. Thomas: I am the exception to your racism. Kavanaugh: Congress, here is how to be racist better. 1/2

I am relieved to see the Supreme Court reaffirm the basic constitutional principle of birthright citizenship. At the same time, I want to emphasize that Seattle stands with those affected by the earlier Supreme Court decision to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian immigrants. 1/5

I’m mad about today. I’m mad that justices can’t do the bare minimum to uphold the Constitution. I’m mad that the law and our history, which I have dedicated so much of my life to, is an inconvenience than an inheritance to many. I’m mad that the academy, which I love, rewards and enables it.
