The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.” The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

White Americans keep looking to 1930s Germany for lessons on authoritarianism, but they ignore Black Americans who have survived it here. Slavery, Jim Crow, and racialized state violence are forms of American authoritarianism.

In the U.S. nearly 3 women are killed every day by a current or former intimate partner. More women are killed by intimate partners than by strangers, mass shootings, or terrorism — combined.

Every U.S. neighborhood houses enough abusers to merit its own “Epstein list.” The only unique thing about those men is that they traffic using jets, not dented Hondas.

Access to the internet is essential, not a luxury. It's crucial for jobs, education, healthcare, and housing. The absence of affordable broadband in many communities is not just a "tech gap," but a critical civil rights matter. #DigitalDivide #CivilRights #TruthBombTuesday

Mamdani has the most amazing message discipline I have ever witnessed.

Find someone who looks at you the way Donald Trump looks at Zohran Mamdani.

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

For those who don’t know, today is Trans Day of Remembrance, an annual commemoration of all the trans people who are no longer with us. So, if there is a trans person in your life, check on them, say hi, maybe buy them lunch, idk. It’s a rough one. 🏳️‍⚧️ #TDOR

and here's the relevant info about the whistles from the group in chicago that distributes them. i got mine in a whistle kit from Unión Migrante. also comes with a Know Your Rights card in English/Spanish.

Catholic bishops push U.S. to end 'dehumanizing' immigration enforcement

I don't care why nazis like MTG occasionally speak truth to power. I'm curious why more Democrats don't.

This Day in History: Nov. 14, 1960: 6-year-old Ruby Bridges integrates New Orleans elementary school www.live5news.com/2025/11/14/t...

Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s posthumous memoir details how she was groomed by Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, whom she met at Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago resort.

Men do not “have sex with underage girls” they rape them. Language matters. Children CANNOT consent

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

#tdih Veterans Day Read about African American veterans who fought overseas and, on return to U.S., were murdered in fight for democracy and human rights. Also, resources about vets organizing against war and Lincoln Brigades. ⬇️ 🧵#TeachOutsideTextbook www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/ve...

Let’s talk about ICE. This post is long, but it’s worth reading to understand how to protect your right to privacy. It might sound extreme, but everyday Americans may soon want to consider face coverings for reasons far beyond health or fashion.

“Weak men like @senbillferg.bsky.social need to learn to fight fire with fire…”

Hey Illinois and Maryland, it’s extra important for your local leaders to hear from you right now. Trump’s redistricting coup will only work if blue states sit back and do nothing. Tell your elected officials to level the playing field and unrig the midterm maps: indivisible.org/resource/red...

Literally nothing about late stage capitalism is good

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

“Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.” ― Assata Shakur, Assata: An Autobiography

Scarily accurate - but I’m chuckling knowing that it will be way over their heads!

Not looking forward to Banned Books Week AT ALL...

Absolutely. Every Democrat in Congress needs to be replaced by courageous and intelligent individuals. The current Democrat's cowardice and ineptitude in the face of the Republican's traitorous attack on the US is helping to destroy us.

Hundreds of people detained at the Alligator Alcatraz immigration processing center west of Miami, Florida, appear to have vanished. They have disappeared from the ICE online database, and their lawyers and families have been unable to locate them. english.elpais.com/usa/2025-09-...

There is no justifiable reason to add citizenship to a driver’s licence. It violates privacy and invites discrimination. We need policies that unite rather than try to divide us.

Why would any foreign country invest in a nation that did this?

Save the dates #HoCoMD #MLKDay #MLK2026 #DayOfService

On Labor Day we honor those who came before us in fighting for workers’ rights, and recommit to doing the same. #Resist #StandwithLabor

ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?

"The fascists want us depleted, numb, and cynical." - I keep this top of mind daily and I actively refuse.

BREAKING: The Trump administration says it's reviewing all 55 million people with U.S. visas for potential deportable violations.

So, to be clear: *Federal employment, which built much of the Black middle class—attacked & slashed *Cities with Black mayors—targeted *Black neighborhoods/communities—invaded *Affirmative action @ colleges—eliminated *Black history—demonized, erased, & written over They are re- segregating.

This is us, my fellow fragile white folks. We gotta put on our big kid undies and stop being so blasted scared of not being fully human.

Our rest is holy, too. We cannot rage 24/7; we're taught that *God* needed to rest. Who are we to think that we don't? Give yourself grace. Give those around you grace. Rest, rest, rest. Your rest will give you what you need to pick up the rage again & keep fighting. As we must. Shabbat shalom ❤️

The entire Trek fandom should be pro-Palestine because it’s literally Bajor

This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants. This is horrifying beyond words. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

People who entered the US legally and have no criminal charges are being held in the Everglades camp, according to records obtained by the Miami Herald. Maybe that’s why the government won’t release the names of those being detained. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Undocumented immigrant workers are essential to Houston’s construction industry, but many face wage theft, low pay and threats of ICE immigration enforcement.

Whatever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me.

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.” Baldwin.

Seeing a lot of racist pinkwashing bullshit about Muslims and homosexuality and it’s a good time to share how I was on the gay marriage beat for a decade and racist gays never believed me when I shared how US Muslims favored equal LGBT rights (52%) over Christian evangelicals (34%)!
