They literally just fought a Supreme Court case for the right to racially profile. It was in the news!

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city. They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

My daughter wandered in a half hour ago. With the temperatures jumping and diving her allergies are worse. So, someone send me some caffeine in the AM, please. Mama's gonna need it!!

You think undocumented immigrants get healthcare?? Bitch Americans don’t even get that

3 MAGA extremists have re-intro'd a bill that allows South Carolina to execute women who receive an abortion. If you haven't heard about S 323, it's because corporate media has completely ignored it. Here's the overview, the sponsors, & how to fight back: www.qasimrashid.com/p/s-carolina...

It's Black Speculative Fiction month! All October, health allowing, I'll update this thread with fun recs for classic & current black spec fic & a bonus work of my own. 1. MY BONES & MY FLUTE www.barnesandnoble.com/w/my-bones-a... 2. A RUIN OF SHADOWS www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-ruin-of-... 1/2

Remember how I'm chronically ill? That means sometimes I run out of spoons. And tonight's one of those nights. Glad I walked earlier in the day, but after pushing hard with work, house, and kids I know when to take a break. No workout tonight. I'll hit it hard tomorrow. Gotta recollect my spoons.

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

My buddy Zelda has very strong opinions on this stuff. A reminder that her dad left explicit instructions that he did NOT want corporations to be able to do this to him and that means us too. The bare minimum here is to respect the wishes of those who said NO.

CALIFORNIANS! you can help make our state better and safer for trans people RIGHT NOW by telling Newsom he needs to sign these bills! We need you!

There are printables for a ton of different cities. I didn’t see one for SF, but then I figured out there’s a whole folder for NorCal cities!

"hand-to-hand combat with antifa every night"

There are some very strange things going on at the Library of Congress. I’m doing searches for news articles from the Civil Rights Era. Political cartoons. That sort of thing. They used to be easily found. That stuff is VERY hard to find now. Things are missing, people.

Sorry, we had to cut off social security checks because of the shutdown. Our hands are tied. We're still continuing construction on the president's Pervert Palace though. Some national priorities are too important

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

This administration thrive in lying — make sure you always ask questions

Update: This froze VERY well. I wasn't sure, but decided to take the risk, and it's divine! I DO think I'll add another cup of broth next time because mine cooked off a BIT too much on my stovetop, but huzzah! (recipe in the comments - can be adapted to vegetarian/vegan)

Federal judge declines to block the invasion of Illinois by National Guard from Texas.

Parent pick up chic! Didn't knock EVERYTHING off my list today, but I made progress. And I’m proud of me. One breath at a time, loves. Onward. ♥️♥️

AOC "I think 'Abolish ICE' is a call to action on several levels. One is the literal interpretation of abolishing ICE, which I support...I don't believe that an agency that systematically & repeatedly violates human rights, I don't think that agency can be reformed. I think it has to be abolished."

Getting into Phase II of the glow-up! The doors on the valance beam have two coats. Throughout the room there are four more on sheets that have a single coat. Just gotta order the hardware the Littles helped me pick out and we are in business!! God, I love this! Savoring the JOY!!

They are called writers

Yesterday, I couldn't find my sander. So, I ran out to the shed and grabbed a sanding sheet to finish sanding the cabinet doors. This morning, I can't find my favorite screwdriver. I know where it was... it's gone. I know the ghost in this house is tricky, but right now, I'd like my tools back!!

The Supreme Court is poised to overturn 32 state bans on conversion therapy and explicitly legalize the abusive and torturous process. They don't care how many LGBTQ people this traumatizes and kills. www.cnn.com/2025/10/06/p...

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Karin Immergut hears emergency arguments as California and Oregon seek to block President Trump's deployment of federalized California National Guard troops to Portland. 🧵

To add to this, social media yelling at politicians does absolutely nothing. They only log information from constituents who call and email. So if you want to yell at them, call or email!

It's strange to say in the midst of *waves hands*, but my peace has grown so much the past few days. I've been productive in ways I didn't realize I could. I've had moments of connection with my children and invested in MYSELF. It gets better. Doing the hard things SUCKS. But it does get better. ♥️

Consider getting a passport card for your ID. It costs $30.00 and is good for 10 years. The only information on the card is your name, picture and date of birth. Undeniable identifies you as an American citizen. No weight, height, eye color, hair color. Most importantly NO ADDRESS.

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

Hey, Mo’s on the front line, this is a nice way to help out for those of us out of state.

It is SO hot tonight—over 75 degrees in my room—that I tanked out after cardio and abs. My body doesn't temperature regulate. So, I CAN push it, but I know when to call it for the night. Tomorrow is another day. Onward. ♥️♥️

Reminder that if you are interacting with law enforcement in Illinois, this IS a stop and ID state. Also, aside from identifying yourself and asking if you're free to leave, the ONLY thing you should say to law enforcement, state or federal, is:

I was told not to teach a class on the intellectual histories of Zionism and Anti-Zionism next year - not because they doubted I could teach it fairly, but because it would attract too many politicians scrutinizing the syllabus. A society where that is a valid fear is no longer fully democratic.

Another glamorous night on the floor while my 8-year-old reads before bed. And, like, how can I be mad at THAT?! Soon she'll be asleep and I'll get in my workout. And soak in the gratitude I have more and more everyday for my new life. ♥️♥️

Portland never stops being Portland.

There were days a month into my Separation that I thought I was living more completely than I had in YEARS. These days, I feel like I'm living more completely than I have most of my adult life. There are times you need to do the hard thing. I'm so glad I did. And you can, too! I believe in you.

Today Oregon’s message to Donald Trump was loud and clear: stay out.

Narrator: This is fascism.

To recap—I got to three of four! Chai Syrup is STILL cooling down to go in the fridge. Breakfast cookies are DELISH. Spaghetti Squash is in the oven. Not forcing Banana bread because I'm trying to give myself grace for starting cooking late today. But Mmmm all around!

Breakfast cookies going in! Never tried these before, so it's gonna be interesting. Vegan, and can be gluten free if you use gluten free oats!

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

Ahhh!! Get yours at your local comic shop!

In July, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office. ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.” You can judge for yourself.

My kids let me sleep in. It wasn't a great night of sleep since my allergy plagued girl joined me in bed at midnight and coughed ALL night. But I still appreciate my Littles being quiet and letting me rest. They're the best!!

“don’t be bigoted towards AI.” your AI data centers are poisoning Black communities as we speak, please get some fucking perspective. jesus christ

Exclusive: The Trump administration is preparing a plan that will make it harder for older Americans to qualify for Social Security disability payments, part of an overhaul that could result in hundreds of thousands of people losing benefits.

The regime is acting this way because there are no consequences so it is clear that consequences—the development of them, the advocacy for them, the imposition on bad behavior—are the answer to our crisis.
