In light of the DC raids we want to reshare our ICE watch 101 graphics. Reminder to verify, document, and then report to our hotline.

Today, hundreds of tech workers at The Washington Post publicly announced their union @wapotechguild.bsky.social and requested voluntary recognition. ✊ We’re so proud of our members and all the solidarity received from the @postguild.bsky.social along the way!

Ohh "America First" was a hit list

As #Ramadan2025 comes to an end in a few days, let’s remember that people of faith can be powerful allies in the fight against the climate & biodiversity crises. 🌏✊ Faith and environmental action go hand in hand! Here’s why ⬇️

Hossam 😞 For over a year we have followed all of your reports, as you tried to bring the world the truth of this horrific genocide. Now it has claimed you. May you rest in power.

zionism is a repudiation of jewish values, in particular the belief that if we love our fellow as ourselves, and care for the widow, the orphan, the stranger, and the oppressed, that we will be blessed and worthy of redemption in this world and the next. zionism ultimately says love and trust no one

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

Americans who keep squawking, "I didn't vote for this." Yes you did, you just didn't vote for this to happen to you.

I have been thinking about how part of the reason Arizona continues to shift blue is that right wing groups spent 20 years using it as test state for many of the laws that are now being rolled out nationally. Turns out people actually hate living under those conditions.

When this piece was made last year, I thought it was, you know, pretty clever. Now, I think it might be one of the most important pieces of the decade.

As we await the Senate vote on the congressional spending bill that could slash $1.1 billion from D.C.'s budget, a quick historical 🧵: Back in 2011, Congress used D.C. to avert a government shutdown. Local officials were furious. So they did something about it.

If spirituality wasn’t central to liberation colonial forces wouldn’t have worked as hard to stamp out traditional practices in favor of the fundamentalist Abrahamic religion/dogmatic secularism dichotomy

Today's quick update [Mar 13]: - RSF drone strike on a communal Iftar (Ramadan meal) in East Jireif, Khartoum; 2 civilians reported killed and others injured. - RSF shelling continues in ElObeid for the 8th consecutive day. #KeepEyesOnSudan

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

We can stop this power grab over DC's local budget. We are worth fighting for.   Whether you're a DC resident or acting in solidarity with the people of DC, we have everything you need to tell the Senate VOTE NO on cloture and VOTE NO on the CR: bit.ly/dcs-budget 🎥: @survive.show

This is what many cities in the U.S. looked like before the EPA. Why the heck would anyone celebrate deregulating it?

Meta rep flagged 'critiques of tech industry figures' as 'sensitive or controversial content' www.usermag.co/p/meta-rep-f... by @taylorlorenz.bsky.social

As @naomiaklein.bsky.social so eloquently explains it, disaster capitalism is here. It’s why I don’t respect Oprah or any celebrity/wealthy person who sees disaster as an opportunity to do anything but amass more wealth…

We love a rep who blocks people calling on him to do his job 🥰😍😍😍 @schumer.senate.gov

Imagine this: On the evening of March 8, you and your spouse unlock the door to your apartment building. As you step inside, two men—not in uniform—push their way in behind you. They tell you your visa has been revoked and that they are there to deport you.

We love to see a good threat in these authoritarian times 🙏🏽

not the way I do it

Look at this antisemitism in full force 🤯

They absolutely could not possibly be clearer that they are going to try to cut Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.

JUST IN: Judge Ho cancels hearing on the unraveling of Eric Adams prosecution. Suggests he's ready to rule on dropping the case, likely in line with his appointed adviser's recommendation to dismiss the case with prejudice. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

And this is why you should fight this kidnapping tooth and nail regardless of whether you agree with Mahmoud.

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION: My reporter Brett Murphy obtained a remarkable directive to folks at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then, "Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."

"What if, rather than blaming Palestinians, Arab Americans, and American Muslims, these pundits had seen their treatment—under Biden and for decades before him—as central to the Trump-led repression looming before us?" Noura Erakat on the imperial boomerang www.bostonreview.net/articles/the...

If Hakeem Jeffries feels like a mouthpiece for AIPAC it might be because they spent nearly $1M—almost the equivalent of his net worth—to reelect his pro-Israel ass The Democrats are basically recreating the drained pool theory, against Palestinians and sacrificing Free Speech for all.

🎯🎯🎯

It is like the 30s in Germany rn, but it's also like the late 1700s. Which of those should we draw from more?🤔 "History doesn't repeat, it rhymes." There truth to that, but the wild combination of new factors like climate chaos & social media & pandemic make this moment 100% unique. We can win.

Since Obama administration, at least, leftists/radicals repeatedly warned that Dems pouring cash into ICE and militarized police was not just evil in its own right, but laying the groundwork for open fascism. We were dismissed, with various degrees of vitriol, for pointing this obvious fact out.

UPDATE on Mahmoud Khalil from his lawyers and his wife: "Today I spoke to Mahmoud and he is healthy and his spirits are undaunted by his predicament." (Legal team now includes ACLU, CCR.)

Musk keeps firing us, and with all this free time, we’re organizing America. They call us “paid protesters”—but seriously, where do we sign up for that paycheck? We’re open to those “Soros bucks.” Every day, we spill the tea, knowing retribution is coming.

DID YOU KNOW: The handshake evolved from a medieval custom where knights would approach one another with an open hand to show that they were not online and posting.

Right now there is clear, overwhelming opposition to Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction across the moderate, liberal, progressive & left spectrum. This kind of loud unity is what authoritarians are afraid of. To keep it up we need every institution & public leader to join the chorus.

A sad day for America—Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University activist, has been arrested by ICE, not for any crime, but for his political activism. The Trump administration claims he was involved in “pro-terrorist” activities, yet no formal charges have been filed.

In Canada, Indigenous advocates argue that mining companies violate the rights of nature. Tribunal judges found the industry guilty of “ongoing ecocide.” grist.org/equity/in-ca... #Canada #Indigenous #Nature #Environment #GreenSky

!!!!!

Inshallah the violence unleashed will be turned inwards 🙏🏽

The plaza itself was a lie from the start - @mayorbowser.bsky.social has only ever been good at disappearing native DC residents for her lucrative real estate deals so BLM plaza was only ever a PR move for her, but this is still sickening to see: www.instagram.com/reel/DHBg9lD...

Something something government waste…

UPDATE: Mahmoud Khalil is being held by ICE in the Jena/LaSalle Detention Facility in Louisiana, per ICE detainee tracker Khalil was detained Saturday night from his New York apartment building

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the Trump Administration disappeared Mahmoud Khalil in order to capitalize on the liberal/left split on Gaza. You either step up to defend people and protect rights or you don’t. This is another crossroads and I pray people see it for what it is.

it does bum me out how many establishment Dems are willing to move to the right by throwing whole sections of the population to the wolves but not by at all altering their stance on gun control

And we keep hashtag "Not All Americans"-ing the rest of the world. It's infuriating & embarrassing. It's our American exceptionalism hard at work. Would the Allies have accepted "not all Germans/Italians/Japanese?" 80 years ago? Has US militarism spared many of those who "didn't want this?" Ever?

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens
