Horrific. A 50-year old black man had a stroke & was confused from it. Cops didn’t want to “waste time” doing a thorough evaluation for a medical emergency, assumed it was drugs, & simply threw him in jail. He died A tragic example of the cruelty of structural racism www.kare11.com/article/news...

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help. He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Chicago is so much of a war zone that we just won best big city for the 9th year in a row.

Immigration agents have aggressively responded to protests outside what was once a sleepy ICE facility in the western suburb. Mayor Katrina Thompson says she’s not backing down. Nice profile from Mariah Woelfel @wbez.org www.wbez.org/immigration/...

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

The administration is attacking legal, employment-based immigration pathways. AILA's latest Policy Brief discusses how these shortsighted attacks threaten the US economy.

They zip tied little kids together, shoved their guns in the face of a Black American grandma who came out in her nightgown, and destroyed building property with chainsaws.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Gregory Bovino, commander-at-large of the U.S. #BorderPatrol, claims a @wbez.org/@chicago.suntimes.com report about his comments Sunday in downtown #Chicago was "grossly inaccurate" and taken out of context.

NEW: Chicago has a so-called 'conviction integrity unit' that's meant to identify and free the innocent. Since the new prosecutor came into office, it's all gone south—cases are not being reviewed, and allegations of police coercion are left unaddressed: boltsmag.org/chicago-cook...

The Supreme Court is forging an America where weighing race can be used to harm minorities, but not to protect them.

Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented.

Sharone Mitchell, Jr., the Cook County Public Defender, has championed bond reform in Illinois, and he is alarmed by President Trump’s demand that the state bring back cash bail.

"They falsely stated that I, a U.S. citizen, have no Constitutional rights at a point of entry, and officers became increasingly agitated as I continued to assert my rights regardless."

Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates “like dogs”, per a report from Human Rights Watch

I'm old enough to remember when the prevailing argument against affirmative action was that it failed to consider the "real" form of unfairness, which was income disparity

"Lily" works on CAs Central Coast bagging and packing celery. She shares: I put two celery hearts into each bag and then I pack 18 bags into each box. By the end of the day I'm very tired because I pack so many heavy boxes. #WeFeedYou

Remember how shocking it was during Trump 1.0 that they had that one kid who was zip tied because they didn't have kiddie handcuffs? This should still shock us and appall us. These kids did nothing wrong.

Trump’s VA is falling apart. Support staff are gone. Nurses are scrambling. Doctors are prepping rooms and booking appointments themselves. Veterans are waiting longer for basic care. This isn’t reform. It’s sabotage. And Veterans are paying the price. MORE: www.cnn.com/2025/07/01/p...

They're just televising the construction of concentration camps like it's a good thing. This is unimaginably dark.

It will be a great injustice if ICE isn't abolished and its leaders imprisoned

A pregnant woman lost her baby after ICE refused to give her prenatal care. She begged for help and was denied. She was fed food full of cockroaches. She was forced to sleep on the floor. This is absolutely disgusting and we should all be outraged. nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

On #FathersDay let's recognize the dads who work so hard to support their families. Ramiro shares, "I've grown up working in the fields. I've been a tractor driver for over 20 yrs to support my family of 4. I enjoy working outside, but worry as the pay isn't great." #WeFeedYou

Trump Admin Axes Legal Aid for Disabled Migrants migrantinsider.com/p/legal-aid-...

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:

Aside from cutting health care for the elderly & poor, the Republican budget steers $160 BILLION to enrich private prisons + quadruple the size of Trump’s American Gestapo ICE — while making them immune from prosecution. TLDR: You are not alarmed enough. www.wola.org/analysis/160...

Thank god we got rid of DEI and brought back the meritocracy am I right?

this is with no exaggeration a david duke line

1. The "big beautiful bill" that Republicans advanced late last night is a massive transfer of wealth from the poorest Americans to the richest. The bottom 20% of earners will see their income DECLINE BY 10%. The top 0.1% will get a GIGANTIC WINDFALL.

“By demanding that the FBI take agents who are currently looking for criminals and instead assign them to look for migrants, Donald Trump and Stephen Miller are confessing that migrants aren’t the criminals that Trump’s entire political career has been built on claiming they are.”

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

You’re allowed to argue that black people and women are genetically inferior. But you’re NOT allowed to argue they are NOT inferior because that’s divisive. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/u...

Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like if a US exchange student in a foreign country (say, Turkey?) was imprisoned for six weeks because they wrote an op-ed in the student newspaper it would be a huge domestic story and an international incident.
