When I say that large swaths of public life are now cut off for me, I mean it

ICE CBP Are Felons October 14 2025 CBP in Chicago engaged in a dangerous car chase for 18 minutes against orders to stop. Video shows that agents ignored repeated direct orders to stop the pursuit, and crashed due to a tire blow out. They lied on their reports. unraveledpress.com/border-patro...

>10,000 STEM PhDs have left federal service over the past year (including 30% of the federal colleagues with whom I’ve worked closely). Those still left are holding federal science together with duct tape. What an extraordinary act of sabotage against the American people.

Man, the effects of the ICE occupation are vast and ongoing. A family I am helping, like so many others, is trying to figure out how to rebuild their lives. Trying to make rent, needing to find work, adjusting to an existence without family members. There may be less ICE but these are huge wounds.

and there are tens of thousands of these families

so what's the ask? there’s a few things you can do. if you're in NY state, reach out & tell AG letitia james to enforce the state constitution NOW. she can sue the hospitals-california AG bonta did this last year & got care restored. one angry letter to one provider without action isn't enough! 🧵

Stunned by all the “ICE isn’t gonna do anything more than what TSA already does” rhetoric. Untrained white supremacists who’ve been told by bosses they’re not subject to laws will have POC and women lined up in front of them to grope and abuse and they don’t even have to chase them.

the way that black women specifically have been targeted for the "crime" of trying to control their reproduction is one of those things that makes me all the more persuaded that one should understand the 13th Amendment as a broad right to bodily autonomy.

THIS PART. When I graduated from high school my counselor (who was great) told me it was good I wanted to be a physicist because I'd never be a great writer. I was also the worst writer in my frosh expos course. I am now an award-winning writer. BECAUSE I PRACTICED!!!!!!

I regularly go to New Hampshire to hike and ski. If this is enacted, I will not comply and will dare them to enforce this on me. I've been using the women's bathroom without issue for a decade. I'm not letting them push us backwards. www.advocate.com/politics/sta...

Rep Stansbury: “The president & his admin can’t explain a legal justification for an eminent threat that gave them the authority to use the military— They can’t provide an explanation of their war plan — they can’t explain why they’ve killed over 200 civilians — the president needs to be impeached”

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

Several universities have finally begun rolling out information to faculty with more know your rights training stuff. One thing they emphasized was that, so far, no one had come onto any campus. So I get to email some people to update them.

Today is my 30th birthday. I live today because of the queer and trans people who paved the way for me to be here. I also remember those who have passed on February 26th. Trayvon Martin was killed at 17 on Feb 26, 2012 by a white supremacist.

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license. They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

Black filmmaker Jonte Richardson says he is stepping down as a BAFTA judge:

By the way, the way some white disabled people are responding to this thread by acting as if the N word isn't itself a disability issue for Black people is a great case in point of how it is taken as a given that Black people must simply tolerate everyday racism as the price of being in public

And many of them went to the press and whispered that the problem was trans people.

I don’t mock anybody as fiercely and unrepentantly as I mock people driving this thing. I point. I laugh. I gun my (superior) engine. I don’t let them into traffic. I don’t let them pass on the right or the left. I will out my car back into park rather than give them next for a parking space.

Trump’s “Board of Peace” includes 27 countries — 11 are authoritarian states: Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Bahrain, Egypt, UAE, Vietnam, Cambodia, Kazakhstan, Qatar, Kuwait Peace by authoritarian regime — from the same folks who dismembered Khashoggi

Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help. “A bunch of agents jump out and tackle him, essentially restraining him, and take him away...His six kids are now without their father." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

A lot of institutions looks mighty foolish and boy is the damage already done. Have principles.

They're coming for adult care and they're explicit about it.

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Women are about to experience a world that insists they only exist to be oppressed if we don't start taking lessons from the past

Benjamin Netanyahu shouldn’t be in DC today, he should be in jail for war crimes.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Pointed out a lot lately that trans genocide is a gentry conspiracy. Well, here's one of them.

The nazis raided and burned the first gender clinic. The Reagan revolution closed down most of the gender clinics in the US and left coverage uninsurable for decades. We've been here before. We'll get through just as we always have. With strength and resilience in community. They can't eradicate us.

Today's post is urgent: @kwanetaharris.bsky.social writes about her abuser as an incarcerated woman: the state. Isn't she, as a woman, worthy of being defended and protected? www.theflytrapmedia.com/aint-we-wome...

He literally pulled a "you should smile more" IN RESPONSE TO AN EPSTEIN QUESTION.

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

In 2023, CBP killed a young Black girl that they imprisoned by incarcerating her and failing to provide the needed medical care for her sickle cell anemia You cannot reform this apparatus which kills people no matter which party is in charge Anadith Danay Reyes Alvarez, who was 8 years old

Journalist Georgia Fort has been released from custody (video @fox9mn.bsky.social)

“There’s no single answer that will solve all our future problems. There’s no magic bullet. Instead there are thousands of answers—at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be.” ― Octavia E. Butler, A Few Rules for Predicting the Future: An Essay

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists. Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews. All Black. All doing their jobs.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Firing a few key faces at the top while maintaining the the fundamental system is one of the most common appeasement tactics in history. Don't settle for Bovino. Don't settle for Noem. Don't settle for Miller. ICE must be abolished. That is the bare minimum.

I have been thinking all day about the number of times unarmed Black people were killed by police on the pretext that their cell phone looked like a gun. And people would say “oh but you just don‘t know what the truth is.” Well here it is.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Ha, you thought I wouldn't repost because there's no alt? Handled.

Trans people were the pretext but this was about allowing more sexual harassment in the workplace. Yet, the media will fixate on trans people to make it seem like it only affected us, which it didn't since the guidance covering trans people was already enjoined. www.npr.org/2026/01/22/n...

The EEOC has just voted 2-1 to remove the entirety of its employer guidance on sexual harassment because portions of it protected trans people. This administration is pro sexual harassment while simultaneously claiming they protect women.

They are consistently proving our worst fears and suspicions. ICE is an irredeemable enterprise. “ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
