Disabled people are particularly vulnerable to abuse under fascism. ICE has been neglecting the medical needs of detainees. One disabled immigrant, Rodney Taylor, needs our help. He's a double amputee who's been in the country since he was two years old. He's being held in solitary:

Leading up to federal agents - incl. ATF and Border Patrol - arresting @peoplesfabric.com, they came out in force to seize what looked like DIY shields stored by a tent, making several arrests in the process. It's unclear to me rn if @peoplesfabric.com was targeted or just a random arrest.

The father—who's lived in the U.S. for over two decades and has an active asylum application—was reportedly driving with his daughter when he called his wife and said someone seemed to be following them. When they got home, agents got hold of the child. trib.al/QVynVfm

If ever there was a time not to normalize Trump’s authoritarian fever dreams, this is it. This should be impeachable. ‘War ravaged’ Portland? He’s insane - & insanely power hungry. The script is set - call an imaginary group a terror group and then send in the troops.

The Government is set to Shut Down on Tuesday September 30th if a resolution isn't found. This is all on the Republicans. Democrats have come to the aid of this Congress to avoid this in the past. The problem is This Big Bullshit Bill taking so much from Americans! Dems are fighting for you and me.

Per witness, Steve was filming an arrest when feds knocked a group of people backwards and grabbed him. She says it appeared targeted to her since he had been filming CBP interaction with the protester from start to finish.

Happening now: at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago, Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and other CBP/ICE agents emerge to patrol Beach Street and escort a vehicle out. They ordered people out of the street, walked to the end of it and then back to the fence.

Donald Trump is using federal agents to stoke fear and violate constitutional rights — all with the aims of expanding his control and sending military troops to our cities. It’s unlawful and un-American. We must all stand up and speak out against fanning the flames of violence.

George Hardy, last of the Tuskegee Airmen's World War II combat pilots, dies at 100

It is, far and away, the most challenging thing I’ve encountered since entering the academy. And that is saying a lot. I might be working on this but I keep putting it aside because I’m not medicated enough to describe how demoralizing it all is.

President Donald Trump’s plan to rig the 2026 midterm election by pressuring states to create more Republican congressional seats will face a major test in a federal courtroom in El Paso, Texas starting Wednesday, as a panel of judges considers whether to block the state’s new gerrymandered map.

Yep. The Trump administration is full of race scientists who believe Black people are genetically and intellectually inferior to other racial groups (bullshit ideas that were long ago disproved and should've been dead and buried in the early 20th century). This is how they think.

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

🚨🚨🚨Portland: Posted 15 minutes ago. Hold tight, Portlanders. 1/2

🚨 Per @katiephang.bsky.social, Hegseth may be secretly convening military top brass to declare martial law should #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown happen. “MOC, why vote to fund your irrelevancy? You have no powers, you’re neutered… If we don’t even have a functioning govt, what’s the point in funding it?”

Your health care bill is about to explode. The notices will start arriving next month. A $7,000 bill could jump to $24,000. Democrats are fighting to stop this. Republicans are fighting to guarantee your costs go up. We need to fix this. Now.

Actually, I'll go one further: CABELL COUNTY, WV specifically is the most expensive rating area in the entire country. There, the 64-yr old couple earning $84,601/yr on the benchmark Silver plan would see it jump from $599/mo to around $5,268/mo. That'd be $63,216/yr, or 75% of their gross income.

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

Disbanding ICE and prosecuting everyone who led and worked for it is, in fact, the moderate position.

Wounded Knee is a dark stain upon our nation’s history. We must remember it for what it truly was, not for what white nationalists would have it be.

No way.

As ICE continues to terrorize Chicagoland, protesters gathered this morning outside the Broadview detention center—throwing stuffed animals at DHS agents, playing music through tear gas assaults, and putting their bodies on the line to stop ICE vehicles. My latest.

Speaker Mike Johnson is delaying the swearing in of the new House Member because she’ll be the 218th vote to force the release of the Epstein Files. He pretends to be a good Christian man while protecting violent child rapists.

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record. As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

ICE is abusing/torturing/disappearing/killing people using our tax dollars and in our name.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Thank you to all who called or emailed to complain. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-off...

@unraveledpress.com literally got me being shot — I'm crouched behind the van holding the back of my head where I'd already been hit. Then it pans to the right where the ICE is pointing right at us. I get hit in the face & you see the man who was with me rush past as he takes me to the medic

Me crouching; turning to look/getting shot in the face; the guy who shot me; my unknown new friend rushing me to the volunteer medics

Even if Democrats were insisting that they wouldn’t fund the government unless Trump personally underwent gender reassignment surgery on live TV, that doesn’t change the fact that Republicans run the entire goddamn government. This is 100% on them.

the question to ask the republican majority on the court is “what CAN’T trump do?”

The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.

Hi, just a note— The local ICE/ERO agent directing his team to fire at reporters' faces in Chicago this morning has been threatening press since we showed up at immigration court in June. His agents shot us both at close range last week, too. None of this started today!

At the Broadview ICE "processing facility" outside Chicago this morning. Protesters here for this morning's action are gathering off 25th now that Beach has been fenced off. A pair of men peering through the fence at ICE vehicles shout, "Get the fuck out of Chicago, you terrorists!"

The boss is pleased

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread 👇

NEW: Trump the tyrant is on full display — but his acting out highlights how weak he is. Trump got his Comey indictment Thursday and issued a memo directing "domestic terrorism" investigations. And yet, both provided more evidence that Trump is losing. Tonight, at Law Dork:

Should this man be in any law enforcement position? Now ask this: do you believe this man will face any consequences for this violent assault on an unarmed, emotionally distressed woman? We can call in complaints to the DHS misconduct hotline: 1-800-323-8603 www.oig.dhs.gov/hotline

Van Hollen: I will just say that anybody who thinks we're on the way to authoritarianism is wrong. We are there

There's a reason they seem to be mostly targeting women to beat up, and we all know what it is.

As governor, I have made it a priority to not only protect but also promote the fundamental right of women to choose if and when and how they will have children. Every woman should be informed, empowered, and supported when she makes that decision.
