Yes. "doctors are more likely to minimize or delay treating women’s symptoms." Exactly. "women with complex chronic illnesses, which are often poorly understood. It can take years to receive a diagnosis, much less relief."

“I wish I would have known that I could speak up.” “I wish I knew that I could ask for a nurse to be present.” As we’ve reported on sexual misconduct by OB-GYNs, many women told us they didn’t know what was normal. We created this guide with the help of providers, patients and experts.

American journalists in 2036

An immigration officer called Carlos and asked him to attend a meeting at an ICE office to discuss reunification with his children. There, officers tried to force him to sign documents he said he didn’t understand. When he refused, they stripped him, seized his ID and belongings, and chained him.

Every picture of ICE agents in airports is just this again

The proliferation of this quote is so interesting to me. It's often posted by right wing chuds who use it to defend conventional aesthetic ideas — such as the importance of having a lean, athletic body — but they don't really understand Owens's work. Let's talk about it. 🧵

BALTIMORE—In surprise testimony in federal court Thursday, an immigration officer revealed that more than 100 asylum seekers were wrongfully deported in violation of a court-ordered settlement agreement in a long-running case that has gotten national attention. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/exclusi...

I analyzed the Proud Boys donor list. The most common occupation was real estate (realtor, mortgage broker) — the same parasitic class that was over-represented among Jan 6th rioters.

ICE detention has hit a historic high of 73,000 people, an 84% increase from early 2025, when the population was below 40,000. This is the largest immigration detention population ever recorded in American history. Here's what's inside those numbers.

Every single day, it's a new moral injury. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

Federal protections against detention and deportation for sexual abuse survivors have deteriorated under Trump.

This is the woman who wrote about being empathy-driven in her reporting. Although not the first time a queer woman writer co-opted images of violence in Iran to advance US imperialism. Which…is something we as a community need to talk about.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

NEW: As we've seen the raids & ICE surges, everyone has had so many questions. 'what can states do?' 'what can cities do?' 'what can one ask a sheriff, governor, zoning board, to do?!' you sent us a lot of your questions. we just answered 9 of them. i learned a ton myself, i think you will to.

This case is horrifying. The man had deferred action, was on a full path to a green card, is a college grad magna cum laude, and ICE arrested him randomly while looking for someone else: “What do we do?” said one ICE officer, to which another replied “We’re going to take him with us anyway.”

The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English. He spent a year in jail for this.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported. He finally died. I am so angry. www.kptv.com/2026/02/21/n...

The grim roll call of abuses continues. Our govt caused permanent mutilation and damage to a man in U.S. detention, this time in the Tacoma, Washington detention center.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

The regime is now dictating what political views are acceptable to air on television and paramount/cbs are collaborating in that censorship bsky.app/profile/ditz...

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

It’s not a withdrawal until ICE is abolished. I have neighbors everywhere.

Chicago's U.S. attorney's office has released evidence from the case against Marimar Martinez, pre-empting her press conference later today. It even released text messages it once claimed would "sully" a Border Patrol agents's rep. From @chicago.suntimes.com: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Why are you showing off your research to child sex trafficker? Attending events with a known sex offender? Visiting a r*pist's island? Travelling on a scammer's private jet? All of these degrees and not a LICK of sense and decency. SHAME.

MS NOW: "A congressional official with knowledge of the matter is telling MS NOW the cause of the shutdown of El Paso airspace is a lack of communication between the Pentagon and FAA. The official told us the FAA and DOD are 'not in clear communications with each other.'"

We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege

Since a couple people have asked, I have no idea why El Paso airspace was closed. Working my contacts, a couple theories but nothing to say out loud yet. If you have insight please contact me on signal at gbrockell.44. apnews.com/article/faa-...

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

The ‘American Sovereignty’ ads trying to convince us ICE is full of family people are not working. We can see that ICE is made up of vicious sadistic thugs who want to hurt anyone not like them. They are hired for their cruelty and ignorant stupidity.

His GoFundMe is here: www.gofundme.com/f/support-le... - I donated a few days ago.

Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA. Facts that bear repeating.

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

The following witnesses will offer testimony at today's public forum, set to begin in just a few minutes:

Martinez: "[I] sat in federal court and watched from 20 feet away as the border patrol agent who attempted to kill me testified at a hearing. Agent Charles Exum—Charles Exum, my attempted executioner was Charles Exum—I hope the government does not consider my use of his name here to be...doxxing."

Seeing yet another 'using whistles is disablist' piece circulating: for the 40 millionth time, using disabled people as cover like this is disgusting and calculated to prey on people who are anxious about doing the wrong thing. Doesn't escape notice that white people are the worst offenders.

again, the problem is not "masks enable bad behavior." the problem is, police aren't "public servants" and aren't accountable to the public and, therefore, don't have to do anything communities demand. it's up to us to drain police of their political power (and their $ and their personnel).

"End immigration enforcement at the D.H.S. & return it to the Department of Justice so that it is embedded in the rule of law. This goes beyond abolishing ICE in its current form; we must fundamentally overhaul D.H.S. and end the securitization of American life." @benrhodes.bsky.social

Why do rich people always just put initials in their email? Is everybody else doing that?

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Jan 29 Advocate: Trump admin is now trying to deport gay and trans asylum-seekers to countries like Iran and Uganda where they face imprisonment, torture or death, arguing these nations have agreed to accept them and adjudicate their asylum requests.

"But the independent court monitor who reviewed her death said he had heard general concerns from Border Patrol officials about the operational "drain" involved in transferring migrants to hospitals." www.cbsnews.com/news/anadith...

you have to USE impeaching Noem to make a BROAD public case to dismantle DHS.

"I didn’t realize, in the hours before his name was released to the public, that the man millions of people had seen lying facedown on the pavement from multiple angles of eyewitness video was my childhood best friend." Read more from @kristenradtke.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/policy/86856...

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Man tackled to ground after spraying unknown substance on Rep. Ilhan Omar at town hall in Minneapolis.

I personally don't tell people who have been fighting their hearts out daily for weeks not to celebrate wins of any size. I certainly don't do that when I've been nowhere near the place where the fight has been happening and have done little more than make some donations from miles away.

"What can Democrats actually do?" - Vote against funding for ICE and DHS - State that any ICE officers who commit crimes under Trump will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law - Encourage cities and states to refuse to cooperate with ICE - Explain ICE is part of Trump's tyranny
