In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

People are being traumatized by these difficult times. Post-traumatic symptoms can surface weeks or months later. (No time to break down now! Bodies know this.) It's not just single events; ongoing stress can also lead to PTSD. Having supportive community can be protective.

Her definition adds another really important element: concentration camps are "places of exception", where the law does not apply. I would love to see Tapper have to reckon with that.

@jaketapper.bsky.social you're in a bubble. Your questions were stupid. Jamie can't say that. but I can. Pay attention to how people are feeling and thinking. Did you see how full the streets were? That's what your audience wanted to know more about, not how you think a business should be run.

Concentration Camp: a prison or other facility used for the internment of political prisoners or politically targeted demographics, such as members of national or ethnic minority groups, on the grounds of national security, or for exploitation or punishment.

I really can't state this enough. Federal agents have been teargassing parks and residential neighborhoods for weeks but didn't show up for a fight downtown today and look what didn't happen. Wishing absolute worst wishes to our occupying forces. GTFO of Minnesota.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

“What you’re seeing is places with no medical care, places where the lights never go out, places where the children are not allowed to go outside, places where the food is abhorrent, and places where people are not treated with the dignity required by the law." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

One of the script’s many strengths is the way it reminds the viewer several times how this conflict affected every single corner of Europe. And how resistance was to be found in every city from Athens to Oslo. #TCMParty #Casablanca

A group of resident physicians and healthcare workers say the presence of ICE agents in and around hospitals and clinics has led to a public health crisis.

History remembers.

The comment that DHS made about the mother refusing the child must be their new supportive rationale for literally abducting children...it's the same claim they made for Liam Ramos even though lots of credible witnesses state otherwise.

US immigration agents detain two-year-old Minnesota girl: ‘depravity beyond words’

Someone complimented my sign (I wore two on front & back) and I was so grateful someone was there to understand its meaning: The World Is Watching The World Is Walking With Us All my love goes to the thousands of people who walked today & to the millions supporting us worldwide. I'm so proud.

It’s fascinating and frustrating! No one listened to me for years about not feeling well. Then breast cancer and now people hear me. But they want me to be gracious and smile to make them feel better. Toxic positivity is worse than people who are just blatantly negative.

I know everyone knows, but I still feel like it cannot be overemphasized: It is damn cold out there. Like, I suspect most Americans have never experienced how cold it was when these folks set out earlier today. They’re hearty, yes, but this is exceptional.

don't tell me about losing your follower count. i had 650k followers on twitter and i fled like someone was setting me on fire

it has been brought to my attention that some mutuals who unfollowed me did so because they are still on twitter as well, and don't like the way i talk about people still on the nazi porn site. and to that i say, fuck you very much and good riddance

They did this to my grandpa when he was forced into the residential boarding school at 5 yrs old. Horrible things. Will America ever learn? bsky.app/profile/whit...

Agree!! And please, as your constituent I’m asking what are you doing to get us new Senate leadership?

Watch this video. Trump’s lawless ICE thugs are apparently so empowered that an officer told someone recording them on camera that she’s now in a database as a domestic terrorist. This must end now. youtube.com/shorts/i3SjT...

My hot take is that at minimum a domestic violence conviction should carry a lot more of the shame and restrictions of a sex offender; it should ban you nationally from gun ownership, jobs in law enforcement, schools, pretty much any public sector work. It’s our clearest red flag for future violence

News cycles move fast, but it’s sometimes worth slowing down to reckon with what this government is doing. In service of its racial project, it is willing to beat, kill, and subordinate anyone it deems a threat. This is a violent white nationalist project.

Today is the day. Right now hundreds of Minnesota businesses and institutions are shut down. Thousands of people are refusing to work. There’s a massive picket at the airport. Minnesota’s resistance to ICE today is changing the tenor our fight against fascism. www.jphilll.com/p/the-first-...

Musk isn't just a rich dumbass, a liar, not the savior loyalists hoped, etc. He is, in fact, one of the worst people to ever have lived. He is a true monster. His acts in the last 12 months alone are aimed at killing millions, normalizing child sexual abuse, and destroying civil society globally.
