"Gabriela Soto says that she started the protest in conjunction with the detainees’ strike so that the media could see how ICE is 'destroying families and separating them.' ... a guard asked her why she was 'spreading lies' and talking to the press."

Thousands of former HHS employees who used to work on solving disease and poverty are permanently unemployed now, just as a reminder

Absolutely nothing is stopping John Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski, & Paul from caucusing immediately with Democrats & giving them control of the Senate. The same is true of Thomas Massie & any 2 retiring GOP Reps in the House. It is a choice to continue caucusing with the authoritarian personality cult.

Protesters cheer and ICE agents silently look on while detainees at Delaney Hall flash the lights inside the facility.

The Pikachu faces from all these companies and organizations finding out that black people do not **** with people who support anti-black policies is astounding. Like, the only way you could possibly be suprised is if you thought black people were somehow stupid.

Okay, yes, this is true, but I am also BEGGING my people to stop going on these white men's podcasts. Just stop. Please. For the love of God. (No, I'm not saying white men in general. You know we love Comicstorian over here, all day everyday. You know the kind of podcasts I'm referring to.)

Again, the two parties are not remotely the same.

lol

While a lack of anonymity doesn't stop them, I'm so glad these billionaires are finally getting outed as obsessive and hateful little weirdos.

And they do want anonymity. Because their behavior is unpopular and off-putting. But it's the one thing they can't seem to buy in this digital age. No matter how many people they sue.

Cameron Park Zoo in Waco TX has a new black-footed cat kitten (Felis nigripes). It's exploring grass for the 1st time here. This species is the smallest wild cat in Africa, but with the highest hunting success (~60%). They eat 1/6th their body weight in rodents & birds every night.

Finally leaving Delaney Hall. I have never been hit with as much bear spray in my life as I have today. My eyes, mouth, skin. Pain. Please follow. Thanks goodnight.

ICE just tasered an activist they were chasing outside of Delaney Hall.

i love her make her president

The main reason we demand elected Democrats show up to the front lines is not from a delusional belief that their presence will provide a form of protection It’s the opposite - we know ICE/Border Patrol will brutalize them same as everyone else. That firsthand experience is key to future defunding!

Guys what are we doing

When I exited the center, my staff told me that there’s been a major escalation. I saw a large line of ICE agents staring down a line of protestors. I walked in the space between asking for the head of the ICE contingent. (6/19)

I helped on this one. I found one of the shooters active in an incel forum complaining about being short, attacking women and giving advice on self-harm. The shooters weren't nihilist. They're representative of the ties between incels and white power that's fueled by the great replacement theory.

One of first people to sign this odious, hateful petition was Susan Collins, who for years avoided taking positions on state ballot measures like marriage equality But haters wanted this on the ballot to help her so she signed and made sure everyone knew mainemorningstar.com/2025/11/24/s...

She Dropped Out of High School. In Prison, She Taught Herself Calculus.

First they pepper-spray a U.S. Senator, then they repel the Governor. Who the fuck are these people? jerseyvindicator.org/2026/05/25/n...

This, always and every day and no matter what, THIS. Right now many things are terrible, they would be a lot more so were there not so many people doing so many things in in hope, in defiance, in solidarity.

About 2 dozen ICE/fed agents continuing to hold a line at one entrance to Delaney Hall. One, with flex cuffs on his vest, is unmasked and diligently caressing a large mace canister in his pants pocket.

Debt is rising in the United States. Now, when you owe money, you're likely to get a phone call from an AI collector asking you to pay up—sometimes even when you *don't* owe anything: www.wired.com/story/ai-tak...

Look at all those extremely good little guys

The US hasn't always been, shall we say, the most reliable partner, but the Trump Premium going forward is going to be shockingly high to a lot of Americans.

Well, yes, obviously, duh, we're not exactly trustworthy as counterparties, I, too, would insist that the checks clear first

A despot spends lavishly on the construction of monuments to himself while senators do nothing to stop him

Cat spotted by Lake Harriet yesterday wears goggles while riding in the bike basket because getting debris in your eyes at high speed is no fun.

If anyone wants to know what the ultimate deal that Trump will make with Iran all one has to do is go back and review the ultimate deal that he made with the Taliban: complete, utter, unconditional, and abject surrender. The Iranians know this because unlike Trump the Iranians can and do read.

A hot take before I log off: among many many reasons the bubble complaint is obnoxious (ppl just want to socialize safely! minorities are already well-informed about majority opinion!), social media might be the worst way to attempt good faith understanding of opposing viewpoints

I don’t want my social media experience to be a homework assignment, argument, or self-flagellation, but even if I did, consuming whatever ragebait the algorithm shoves at me is only going to expose me to the worst humanity has to offer.

Masks are an extremely cheap & relatively efficient way to prevent all kinds of airborne illnesses getting into your own body. They don't harm surrounding people, they are easy to carry, can't be used in any devious way, yet that MD seems bothered by this completely innocuous things. I miss adults.

Good morning! 🪶

I’d argue governors being denied access to federal law enforcement facilities in their state is part of what I call slow civil war.

"Tula" shared this pic from WAs Chateau @SteMichelle where she works under a UFW contract. "It's good to work under a union contract. I get 17 paid holidays including #MemorialDay. I also get paid vacation days medical, a pension & I could speak up on the job." #WeFeedYou

I love that Trent Reznor said, of Johnny Cash’s cover of “Hurt,” something like, “It’s like watching your ex-girlfriend marry her true love.”

Otis Redding said in a concert, introducing this song, that "this girl just... took it." Voice full of begrudging respect. Because if you can take a song from OTIS REDDING....

I want more politicians to just say, in plain English, “I’m totally in favor of XX” because it’s actually what they believe, without fear of being clipped or demonized on Fox News show us you believe in something!

The full quote is even better go off, Tom

You can show me all the charts you want saying the economy is fine but if Serpentor is selling his throne because it won't fit into his new studio apartment, shit is not fine

Footage from Delaney Hall at the moment where ICE gassed protestors and Senator Andy Kim.

"NJ Governor Sherrill says she’s been denied entry into Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark... Roughly 300 detainees had gone on a hunger strike to protest conditions they describe as inhumane." DHS denies the strike is happening. 🎥 from @nj.com: www.instagram.com/reel/DYxIJaO...
