A CNN review has found two dozen incidents of people posing as ICE officers in 2025 – more incidents than during the prior four presidential terms combined.

I am just so fucking proud of her.

These ICE raids aren't making communities safer. Protecting communities doesn’t involve zip-tying children or dragging families into trucks. No child deserves to be terrorized like this.

BREAKING: Today, over 1,000 former DOJ officials who served in both Republican & Democratic administrations—have released a letter condemning the unprecedented, politically motivated indictment of fmr. FBI Director James Comey. Read their letter: protdem.org/3ITOo0Y

Illegal. Outrageous. Unconstitutional.

Sanders: These projects have been appropriated. They were signed by a president. It is illegal to rescind them. And to say to people in Vermont, in New York and California, oh, you didn't vote for Donald Trump, we're going to take away funding that was supposed to go to your state… illegal

These are always the best

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’” It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

Do you know the difference between the National Guard and ICE? The National Guard are your neighbors. They are members of your community. When deployed, they are there to help the community, not harm them.

Faculty should strike. Shut it all down. We teach from research not the whims of dummies.

Unless I'm reading this badly wrong and the administration puts out contrary implementation, it would appear that starting tonight, anyone with an H-1B who doesn't write a $100,000 check to the US government is banned from reentering the country if they're currently outside the US.

Do one small thing this weekend. Donate to your food pantry. Cancel your Disney subscription. Buy some queer art. Start a conversation with a friend about wtf we are going to do about this. I promise it helps.

The last time a govt went after Disney for its speech, Disney stood up. But it didn't get support from others. Now we're here. That's not to absolve Iger, but it is to say if our private sector doesn't stand together against censorship they will fall separately. protectdemocracy.org/work/desanti...

I’m exhausted. Thank your attention to this matter.

What a time to be alive.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics. The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

BREAKING: DC Cir. court of appeals rejects Trump’s effort to remove Lisa Cook from Board of Governors of Federal Reserve, allows her to participate in tomorrow’s meeting

Submitting public comments remains one of my favorite easy advocacy options. Do it! Tell your friends to do it!

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

yeesh so much disinfo out there about the gunman "Notices bulges, OWO whats this?" - Meme about furries/roleplaying; not political "hey fascist! Catch! Up, right, down x3" - From Helldivers 2, satirical game, you nuke 'fascist' aliens even though you're a fascist yourself; the code launches a bomb

more evidence that the battle cry of all these institutions should simply be “fuck you, make me”

We're close to reaching a chilling moment; the first time in history where the single largest group of people arrested by ICE in the interior and held in detention are people with no criminal record. The gap is now down to fewer than 300 people.
