Life in prison for every ICE agent at every level.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves. "Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks. "No, guess he should've complied," agent says. Yakima, Washington

Ya'll the footnotes. I have never seen anything like this.

“Like prime, but with human beings”

Now if we could just get people to view US prisons through the same lens they view CECOT.

The thing where Trump names everything after himself isn’t a funny little quirk but an incredibly reliable indicator that a leader is in fact a dictator. It doesn’t happen in any democratic society, no sane leader does it

What is striking here, of course, is that no one was apologizing for being white at any point, outside of some very unusual academic hothouse environments. What the experience as 'apologizing for being white' is actually just 'accommodating non-white people living as full citizens and equals.'

This is why you rarely see the anti trans side going after Hunter Schafer or Kim Petras. They went on puberty blockers and transitioned as teens. They're massively successful and living happy lives. They don't want to highlight that.

At the HHS announcement yesterday announcing proposed rules to ban GAC, they said trans people are "at the root of the evils we face" and are "a hatred for nature as God designed it and for life as it was meant to be lived.” Just in case you thought it was about concerns for proper healthcare.

SPD Invites Officers in "Officer Involved Shootings" to Attend Billy Graham Evangelical Ministry Retreat The fundamentalist ministry, run by Donald Trump ally Franklin Graham, is anti-LGBTQ and anti-choice—and teaches that a woman's place is in the home. publicola.com/2025/12/15/s...

The exclusion of trans people from public and academic spaces, removal of protections by human rights institutions, dehumanising language used by state news media, judicial tolerance of trans directed hate crime, withdrawal of medical care: all of this is very familiar to genocide scholars.

I do not want Gaston backstory, I do not need Gaston backstory, I reject Gaston backstory he is a fully formed oaf, consuming eggs by the dozen in one of the greatest villain songs ever written, and that is all we need of him

this will happen in the Gaston movie

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

this is very sweet and wholesome and also... I own one of this man's dog backpacks and it took me over a year to convince my not-that-big and not-that-difficult dog to allow me to carry her in it which is just to say I honestly don't get how he manages it with a new dog every week

Missed this—the Times accuses the city attorney-elect of winning by unfairly "painting" Ann Davison as a Republican. She is openly Republican, and ran as a Republican in a partisan race for a statewide position! She talked about why she's a Republican as recently as our Seattle Nice election debate.

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

Thank goodness Trump didn’t call half of Somalis something like “deplorable” else it would have been the biggest scandal ever

This is just pure evil at this point. He's gleeful at the wanton murder of civilians solely to use as snuff content on social media. These people all belong at the Hague where they should rot for the rest of their miserable lives.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Assigned's mentions for this post are flooded with people who want to jeer at Biden so may I just say: When a Democratic former president makes a point of standing up for trans rights in a situation where he is absolutely not required to do so, for God's sake, just take the W.

That's right

It's not surprising that a rapist's presidential administration is removing standards intended to prevent rape. www.npr.org/2025/12/04/n...

The Oklahoma House of Representatives gave that girl an award for writing a terrible essay? For getting a trans person fired? This whole thing is an op.

This Pluribus ad on a fridge caused a schizophrenic woman named Carol to be hospitalized.

What the fuck

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

They place their wink and nods to white supremacy and fascism everywhere. We ignore it at our peril.

Stephen Miller says Afghan immigrant Rahmanullah Lakanwal was incapable of assimilating to American culture. But a factcheck shows that Lakanwal used a gun to assault and kill multiple innocent people. Four Pinocchios.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

They. Want. You. Dead.

This right here. They will follow him blindly into any action.

Everyone in politics, everyone in media knows what’s happening here: the White House is controlled by a repellant white supremacist who waits with bated breath for any opportunity to run nonwhite people out of America. They know who it is, what he’s doing. But they won’t SAY it.

I wish cis people would understand just how stressful it is when every time there's news of gun deaths, far right trolls immediately jump to social media and claim the shooter is trans, and sometimes they'll circulate pictures of random trans women they want to incite violence against.

Protect and Swerve

I remain convinced DOGE was a massive, planetary scale data exfiltration scheme and that Palantir has it all now

Last month, I led an immigration shadow hearing in Chicago. What happened there is beyond belief. Children teargassed, CBP agents breaking a 67-year-old man’s ribs, an active duty service member whose father was deported while he was deployed. There must be accountability.

It feels worth mentioning that Graham Linehan’s harassment literally continued in the courtroom, as he repeatedly misgendered Sophia, and referred to her as “Tarquin”, a fictional deadname he made up for her as part of his harassment campaign. The judge was complicit in this harassment happening.

Marimar Martinez is a US citizen who was shot by ICE five times in Chicago. She was then arrested, labelled a “domestic terrorist” and slandered on social media. All charges against her have been dropped. In this interview she shows on of the seven holes the ICE agent put in her body.

watching your husband’s phone light up like a Christmas tree and knowing it’s President Donald J Trump

At a recent gathering of Rogers Park volunteers, we heard from a neighbor who choked up telling us about their dad turning around and going home when he heard whistles up the street. "One of you may have saved his life that day." It all matters, it really does.

New whistle zine format just dropped! One of our amazing volunteers had the idea to print double-sided and get two zines from one sheet of paper. More cutting, less folding, same great content.

“The FBI gained access to conversations in a ‘courtwatch’ Signal group that helps coordinate volunteer activists who monitor public proceedings at three New York federal immigration courts. The US government has repeatedly been accused of violating immigrants’ due process rights at those courts.”

NEW: Evanston has released video + reports surrounding a 10/31 incident where a CBP agent threatened to shoot people + another beat a handcuffed man. We found some disturbing X posts from one of the feds, also seen in other viral videos. His name is Timothy Donahue, and it's now public record:
