Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

In the Oak Park neighborhood of Detroit, Michigan, on November 17, 2025, an ICE goon tased a non-resisting woman and then threw her non-responsive body into his truck like a rag doll.

“It’s like that. Murky awakening to the stories of others. They give us outlines we’ve to fill in. Bushels full of obstacles. Creation comes with impediment. . . .” From “Fail Better,” by Anna Gual (trans. AKaiser) @akaiser-org.bsky.social‬ worldliteraturetoday.org/2025/septemb...

Every member of the US House should sign the discharge petition regarding the Epstein files Anyone not signing it has no business being in the U.S. house

Throwback from 2019 Trump POTUS Epstein in court Kavanaugh SCOTUS This is so FITTING for today From the great Ida Skibenes whom I admired on Twitter The Survivors But No Longer Silenced WE STAND WITH THE SURVIVORS

Every time someone calls the Epstein case a hoax or tries to downplay it, remember that the women you see today were CHILDREN AND TEENS. and they’ve been trying to hold people accountable SINCE THE MID NINETIES. Look at your own kids and think about that.

We could’ve had Kamala Harris a compassionate president working on worthwhile issues but folks voted for the evil orange guy who is more focused on covering up his friendship with Epstein right now. 💔

Giving a predator like Ghislain Maxwell a platform, moving her to a comfortable prison without receiving anything in return except to claim innocence and say you’re nice guy— when 100’s of children where victimized is a miscarriage of justice. Epstein survivor—“…She also participated in the abuse…”

The bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act is a necessary step to ban Members of Congress and their families from engaging in insider trading. It is time to pass this bill and make it clear to the American people that their elected officials put them first.

The House and Senate are back in session this week. Who else thinks it's time to ban members of Congress from trading stocks?

A Los Angeles, des violences et des arrestations lors d’opérations de la police de l’immigration

It's extraordinary how brutal police are willing to be, the lengths to which they are willing to go, the internal solidarity they are willing to show, in order to deliver to U.S. citizens—the protection of whom is their ostensible jobs—the clear message, "we are at war with you."

poem prompt of the week: sappho describes love as the “sweetbitter unmanageable creature” that impoverishes her, emptying her of speech and outer senses — and she lets it. love steals from sappho — and she lets it. write about what this means to you.

As happened to the artworks of many historic female artists, this work by French painter Marie-Denise Villers -Young Woman Drawing, 1801 - was attributed to a male artist before being truely recognised.....

This fascist story began 3 elections ago, but we clearly haven’t learned from it. At some point, voters are going to have to acknowledge that by blaming Democrats they empowered fascism. Things aren’t going to change until we see it. Demonizing the people trying to help only assists your enemy.

A professor of environmental sciences gives a quick punchy take on the "eye-popping" numbers re. how clean air promotes economic growth. An EPA analysis of 20 years of the Clean Air Act (1970-90) found the economic benefits of the regulations were about 42X greater than the costs. No pay wall.
