After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

it’s barely 8 am on a saturday and ice has already been spotted in chicago’s humboldt park, logan square, and wicker park neighborhoods, with at least one person detained, per local rapid response groups. www.facebook.com/Organizacion...

I really wish trans allies would fight as hard for us as those who hate us fight to eliminate us from society. The disparity there is why they're winning.

In accounts obtained by The Washington Post, their lawyer reports the men said ICE agents fired at them almost immediately without warning from the side of Araujo’s vehicle and that Araujo never could have attempted to run over an agent because there were never any ICE officers in front of his van.

Seattle:

The family of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo is asking for help with funeral and burial costs, legal expenses, everyday living costs, and the wife’s needs, who has lost her lifelong companion and sole provider.

the rampant killing of civilians doesn’t just happen when we let racist, theocon paint huffers run the military. the US is responsible for tens of millions of deaths via financial colonialism and illegal wars. if we want this to end, we must abolish the system which enables it.

Fmr. Sheriff Chuck Wright [R-SC] was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for stealing $113k from a sheriff’s office benevolence fund to pay off his drug dealer, funneling $350k in taxpayer money to his cousin for a job he never performed & charging taxpayers $53k on personal expenses. What a monster.

Just more horrors. Cops kill another dog while searching for someone not even at the home they were at. A highly trained service dog was not a threat to police but that doesn't matter, they killed her anyway. Why do cops do this? Less paperwork then killing people? www.wsbtv.com/news/local/c...

There's this Twitter account that just live tweets the events of 25 years ago. I've been following it for like three years because oh boy is it going to take a turn in a couple months here...

Today in the Chicagoland area as of 11:40AM, ICE has been reported in Humboldt Park, BOTY, Naperville, West Ridge and most recently, Justice, where local responders have issued a warning to stay inside at all costs. There are unconfirmed reports of SIX people being detained or taken before noon.

It’s been a year since Israel government-sanctioned settler violence stole the life of Palestinian American Sayfolla Musallet. Congress must stop turning a blind eye to the horrors happening to Palestinians, including to American citizens.

@bradlander.bsky.social built his campaign on rejecting money from corporations and AIPAC, investing in people here at home instead of bombs abroad, and guaranteeing healthcare for all. I'm honored to receive his support, and I look forward to working with him in Congress.

ICE did that thing where it murders someone then tries to coerce witnesses into silence again. Horrific stuff via @gregsargent.bsky.social. newrepublic.com/article/2129...

Attention, #IL03! We have received reports of ICE activity in our district. Stay safe! The best way to protect ourselves is by knowing our rights. If you have a neighbor or loved one detained by ICE or need help with a federal agency, contact my office at (773) 799-8219.

The problem if you can't admit there is Genocide in Gaza is quite simple. It means you can ignore the largest problems because someone is telling you to. Which means you will do exactly what they tell you about everything else as well. It isn't 'just' Palestine.

Attorney says Newark immigrant center detainee was raped, then transferred 2 days later gothamist.com/news/attorne...

It is absolutely abhorrent that, after reporting being raped, a 37-year-old Colombian man in ICE custody was transferred to another facility without any investigation or notice to his family.

people who take money from a state that institutionalizes and systematizes dehumanization, apartheid, rape, torture, genocide, etc, will do nothing to stop the rise of fascist authoritarianism within their own countries. they are here to help the fascist project gain footholds in blue states.

Lorenzo—like so many immigrants—came to this country and worked hard to ensure his American children had a chance at a better life.   We cannot allow ICE to take away another father, mother, daughter, or son from us.

Things the Supreme Court thinks is racist or not. Racial profiling in immigration enforcement: ❌ Gerrymandering to eliminate Black districts: ❌ Comments about immigrants by Trump: ❌ Racially conscious college admissions: ✅ Creating minority-majority districts: ✅

What if I told you one woman, with little accountability, is wearing the name of the United Nations to launder false anti-trans forum posts into global legal fights, including the US Supreme Court? Our reporter S. Baum investigates Reem Alsalem in our collaboration piece with The Nation.

Alarming story that confirms my own reporting along similar lines: Dan Moraff, the political strategist who plucked Graham Platner out of obscurity to run for senate and barely vetted him, was barred from Rep. Summer Lee’s 2022 campaign after three complaints of sexual misconduct.

The secret police who have lied about every person they’ve senselessly killed in the streets have once again lied about a person they senselessly killed in the streets.

Trans people are having to create a modern day green book just to be able to use the bathroom in Idaho. This is where we're at. www.advocate.com/politics/sta...

Ken Paxton just denied our public information request for the Hoffman Files. Adam Hoffman — an admitted child molester — should be in prison, but Ken Paxton let him off the hook. Texans deserve to know why. We don’t need any more pedophile protectors in our government.

ICE agents must be tried for the murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.

what is wrong with this woman’s social media team

Another day another abject lie about both Uncommitted and about Abdul's own public position

Israel kills four Palestinians in tents in Gaza today including one child.

This is a level of billionaire surveillance & control (and downright pettiness) that should send chills down all of our spines. To what lengths will Jim Dolan go to assess the "risk score" of MSG attendees? And why in the world would his enterprise identify their sexual orientation in a database?

'We cannot turn a blind eye to ​the Mexicans who have died,' [Mexican President Claudia] Sheinbaum said during her daily press conference, adding that the criminal complaints will seek to hold accountable those considered to have committed homicides or human rights violations."

Starting to think the New York Post is trying to get this trans woman killed. Also, not sure why it was necessary to include a pre-transition photo of her from high school. nypost.com/2026/07/07/u...

Mehdi's failure to say anything about Platner and Zeteo's role in defending him is really disappointing.

i’ve noticed this thing the right, especially billionaires, have been saying lately that instead of calling taxes “taxes”, they’ve begun to just say “confiscate money” as a scare tactic

He added, as others have observed, that ICE has learned lessons from Midway Blitz: specifically, by not riling white areas. "I think they're being more strategic," Jesse said. "They're not hitting white communities. They're hitting Back of the Yards. They're hitting communities that are brown."

"From a political perspective, they're willing to fuck us," the organizer, who asked to remain anonymous, said.

I also spoke after the meeting with a community organizer who accused IL leaders like Gov. JB Pritzker and IL Attorney General Kwame Raoul of caring more about poll figures on the general population's attitudes toward immigration then about the actual IL resident immigrants that ICE is targeting.

After the presser dispersed, I pressed Mah on the issue. She again said IL state lawmakers were considering more ways to protect people at state courthouses, but added the soonest there may be tangible action on that front, realistically, would be during the legislature's next session in November.

ICE does not deny that it's pressuring key eyewitnesses to the shooting of Lorenzo Araujo to agree to deportation without a court hearing, and instead offers no responsive comment at all.

After the speakers' remarks ended, I asked Rep. Mah about that law: the Court Access, Safety & Participation Act, which has proven ineffective at stopping ICE arrests at IL courthouses. Mah and Raymundo said there were discussions ongoing about creating laws with more teeth, but gave no specifics.
