'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s new portal to report ICE activity is a start. But as ICE continues to target our neighbors, documentation alone won't protect them. We need Gov. Sherrill to publicly pledge to SIGN the two vetoed bills that would actually protect our communities. #njforall

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

jesus fucking christ

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Them, but also more directly: 285 people out of 535 could end all this (218 + 67). That fact should not be treated as an "oh they'll never do it" shrug, as if they don't have agency. They should be hammered constantly as traitors and cowards every day they don't.

They put Geraldo Lunas Campos in a chokehold and compressed his chest until he stopped breathing. And then they lied through their Nazi teeth. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Reminder that if you're arrested in Illinois for protesting ICE, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

Alex Pretti, who is identified as the man fatally shot by a U.S. Border Patrol officer in Minneapolis on Saturday, was an intensive care nurse dedicated to treating veterans. Read more about him here: https://wapo.st/3M62eyV

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

They should start there. Prosecute, for me, is the minimum position.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

NYT video analysis confirms victim’s gun was removed before he was shot. So he was unarmed. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/us/minneapolis-shooting-federal-agents-video.html

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Horrific videos from Minneapolis show ANOTHER murder by Trump’s authoritarian military force. Let me be very clear: we must ABOLISH ICE.

Holy shit. He was filming. He went over to help a lady that ICE shoved down. Agents engaged him. His hands were on the pavement when he was shot. He never had his hand on a weapon. Cold blooded murder.

Another murder by immigration enforcement in my district. I am absolutely horrified that federal agents are targeting and executing our residents instead of protecting them. ICE and CBP must leave Minnesota immediately. Kristi Noem must be impeached. Enough.

Last month Dr Erin Sauer presented a masterclass on amphibian-climate-disease interactions spanning from lab experiments, to fieldwork, to global meta-analyses. If you missed it, you can watch it here: youtu.be/c7rcbN5r7Jw

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Wisdom’s mate joins her! 🎼 #Reunited USFWS staff spotted band EX25 on 11/25. No, he has not been named; we await that news. So far we have a few photos and we'll share more as we receive them. Here's to a successful egg laying and hatching season for these two! Photos by Chris Forster. #Birds

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.

You know what, I'm just gonna re-up this post

U.S. grocery prices have hit a record high — the monthly cost for a family of four is now $1,030.

Vaccines based on mRNA can be tailored to target a cancer patient’s unique tumor mutations. But crumbling support for cancer and mRNA vaccine research has endangered this promising therapy

Coercive sterilization in ICE detention. Eugenics.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I work on a topic that is now forbidden from federal funding, and if I run out of money, I will lay off the ten people who work for me and go work at McDonald's - and never come back to this job, my first and longest love - before I take a single dollar from the Department of Homeland Security

More than 11 million tonnes of meat is consumed in cities in the US every year, according to an analysis in Nature Climate Change. This equates to 329 million tonnes of carbon emissions, which is comparable to emission levels from US domestic fossil fuel use. go.nature.com/3Jo8DEh 🧪

You asked for it! We delivered Quack-O-Grams to our members of Congress urging them to #ImpeachRFK, and get that Quack out of office! There's still time for you to get in on this fluffy, feathery action: Send your own duck at zurl.co/W1ZnB#ImpeachRFKand keep the momentum going! 🦆

this is the goal. the kids and disabled people they're going to kill are as much a happy accident for them as anything else; the goal is government capture and really nothing deeper or more ideological

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

REMINDER: in this moment, the thing you want your Congressperson to do is (1) demand resignations and (2) threaten endless hearings. Impeachment isn't going to work. Read the article if you don't want to take my word for it - Larry is the most respected health law expert in America.
