This footage is somehow worse.

Kinda wild Apple will kick ICEBlock out of the App Store on safety grounds but the Saudi government app that lets men track women (their “property”) and control their travel is fully allowed even after the Human Rights Watch AND members of the Senate begged them to ban it.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

Trump: "Please remember I wrote Osama bin Laden exactly one year ago, one year before he blew up the World Trade Center. And I said, 'You gotta watch Osama bin Laden!' ... I gotta take a little credit."

i think anyone taught by ilan wurman ought to ask the university of minnesota law school for their money back

This is what the U.S. has always been! Never about protecting kids. It’s about abusing and harming people under the lie of criminality. As it has always done.

“An ICE agent claimed someone was trying to force their way into a door, but it was just a CBS News Chicago photographer filming the exterior of the building.”

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

There is no bottom to what they are capable of and we have to really get comfortable with that fact.

At the Broadview, IL ICE detention center— IL state troopers are already pushing non-violent demonstrators out of the street and away from the ICE facility. One arrest so far.

The apartments acted alone, pulling the adults and children out of them without anyone’s else’s participation

As the grown woman who remembers the one day that she actually jumped in to this DAY as one of the best days of her life this makes me happpeeee 😍

Just praying for all the people and their families who are suffering Jon Burge related PTSD.

We are here because policing in the U.S. has been this way for generations. This is why ICE acts with impunity. They know they can act this way.

I feel KBJ. All of it is lifting off the page.

Kavanaugh's explanation of why racial profiling is Actually OK was obviously a crock of shit the day it was written but also, in light of the new lawsuit by a US citizen arrested by ICE twice in 2 weeks, and the horrible Chicago raids, the shitpot is aging poorly ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/brett...

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

"Armed federal agents in military fatigues busted down their doors overnight, pulling men, women and children from their apartments, some of them naked, residents and witnesses said." www.wbez.org/immigration/...

I really need all of us to abandon any impostor syndrome. It’s time.

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’” It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

No words.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

“What our work has proven is that, unfortunately, anything is possible when it comes to policing pregnancy.” @danasuss.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Don’t run off stage don’t run don’t run

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

We have NEW research on pregnancy-related prosecutions in the first two years after Dobbs, and there are surely more cases. They show us that giving rights to fertilized eggs, embryos, and fetuses paves the way for people to be ARRESTED and PUNISHED for all pregnancy outcomes — beyond abortion.

More people need to understand that saying only “criminals” should be subjected to expanding state violence around us is what led to the broader public being targeted by it, too. Criminality is subjective, and power determines what it is or is not.

The criminalization of pregnancy is the other part of that coin. Find out about the data. www.pregnancyjusticeus.org/events/polic...

“Turn those body cams off.” Alllll the fights about the utility of BWCs and whether cops should be able to look at footage before writing reports, and that’s all that it is.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

You know, Toni Morrison said, “Absorbing the lies, untruths, both transparent and nuanced, of governments, their hypocrisy so polished it does not even care if it is revealed, can lead to a wearied and raveled mind.”

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

as an author of a book on reparations I am intimately familiar with the move people make from "the thing you want isn't politically viable right now" to "you shouldn't want it, talk about wanting it, or even think about it" but it never stops being weird to me

Again. Same as Trump’s first term. Who should pay for Trump’s repeated self indulgent tariff folly? The people about to have their healthcare increase exponentially? The 300,000 Black women who were put out of work by DOGE and Trump economic policies? Teachers? Librarians?

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.
