Greta Thunberg speaks to the press after being released from illegal detainment in Israel: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.”

Breaking news: ICE stops family at gunpoint—smash car window on top of newborn baby. "I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother. “I covered my baby with my body—I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨

To keep her in detention in Texas, the Trump administration pointed to Leqaa Kordia’s remittances to family in Palestine.

Did you know ICE is holding a disabled advocate and whistleblower who helped shut down one of their detention centres? Alma Bowman is a 58 year old woman from Georgia who spent 30 months in ICE custody during the first Trump regime. When released she became a fearless advocate for detainees 🧵

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

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:

For years, medical professionals and transgender advocates have been saying the "Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine" was not following the principles of evidenced-based medicine. Now the "godfather" of evidence-based medicine is leveraging the same claim against them. (1/)

"These racist, misogynistic men do not have the right to tell us that we are ‘less than’... to tell us our lives are untenable when most of us feel differently... to act as though being born with a disability is a fate worse than death. It’s not." www.disabledginger.com/p/trumps-big...

Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in sibling control analyses. This suggests that associations observed in other models may have been attributable to confounding. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

hi, medical toxicologist that knows a lot about Tylenol here👋 Claiming that tylenol use in pregnancy causes autism is fearmongering here's what you need to know 🧵

The “answer to autism” is to love, respect, appreciate and fight for the safety and well-being of your autistic family members, friends and colleagues.

Solitary confinement is inhumane and part of a larger pattern of systemic abuse against people in ICE detention — this torturous practice must end.

It was this little guy’s 10th birthday, same age as my son, when ICE agents abducted his parents. Listen to them pressure and harass his 19-year-old sister, who is brilliantly holding her line in not answering them while trying to comfort her little brother. Unconscionable.

Everyone should be antifascist.

Soooo is abolition starting to sound like the only viable solution to this yet or??? Idk how many more object lessons in how every cage to cage a person is a bad cage that's used for fascism we can really handle here folks

ICYMI here’s my interview with @qabila.bsky.social:

A mainstream outlet finally does more than repeat the official BS statement from ICE about the shooting of Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez. This man's death should be a national scandal. Grateful for indy journalists who questioned the official narrative that corporate outlets mindlessly echoed last week.

I spoke with Amanda Heffernan, a nurse-midwife based in Seattle, about what's like to currently work with pregnant migrants in ICE custody. What she has witnessed in Washington state mirrors other recent cases of mistreatment in detention centers across the country: www.thecut.com/article/preg...

An ICE agent shot and killed someone during a traffic stop in Chicago today: www.wbez.org/immigration/...

Today September 11 at 10:30am La Resistencia volunteers who observe the deportation flights informed us about the number of people deported from and transferred from Northwest Detention Center

okay, y'all. i have basically one shot at top surgery, might as well try. if i can't raise these funds, then i can't get the surgery, but. that's where i am now, so what's the harm. assuming i can get funding, this will be used only for stated purposes (details in link). pls share.

Blackout!

Autism is really super duper highly inheritable, as in, 80% of autistic people get it from their parents having autism-y genes (the remainder are likely from non-inherited genetic mutations). So, no, anti-vaxxers—you can't "get" autism after you're born. medschool.ucla.edu/news-article... #autism

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

With Trump talking a lot about cash bail, it's time to remind people: what is the for-profit cash bail system? Why does it exist only in the U.S. and the Philippines? Why is it so bad for public safety but so persistent? I explained in this short video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO5J...

"We are witnessing authoritarian consolidation—not the rise or threat of fascism, but its enactment. Many people are understandably voicing alarm. In fact, it’s clear that alarm is all some people have to offer, including Democratic leaders." organizingmythoughts.org/you-must-pro...

Quote this with a book you read way too young that explains why you are the way you are. 14 - just picked it up in the library

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

Reminder that saying someone "isn't a criminal" while talking about their kidnapping by ICE implies you're ok with dehumanization if the person has a criminal charge. No one should be kidnapped and thrown into a cage to be neglected or worse.

Real Change confirmed today that two of our vendors have been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This action is a direct attack on a protected community and poses a chilling threat to the safety and well-being of all individuals experiencing homelessness and poverty.

Totally agree, but what I heard in my reporting in Idaho is that CNMs and WHNPs have also been leaving

oh my fucking god

I’ve spent 3 days researching and writing this piece rebuking the grotesque NYT OpEd by Bret Stephens whitewashing Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. I hope you take a moment to read, subscribe, and share it with your networks. Let's use truth to stop injustice: www.qasimrashid.com/p/nyt-whitew...

More than 100 hospitals across 26 states have closed their labor and delivery units since 2020. "Staffing shortages, low Medicaid reimbursement payments and declining birth rates have contributed to the closures." stateline.org/2025/06/11/e...

Wow—the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide) says plainly: "No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits…IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT." "HISTORY WILL DETERMINE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS."

Late last year, @Harpers sent me to the West Bank to report on the state of the nonviolent resistance movement. Nothing I had seen over more than a decade of reporting there prepared me for the levels of fear and devastation I encountered. harpers.org/archive/2025...

In July of 1852, Frederick Douglass delivered one of the greatest speeches in US history. Today it’s often presented in abridged form, though, and skips what seems like a long-winded introduction. If you read the intro closely, however, there’s an ingenious structure. THREAD👇🏽

These videos and images, dear god what horror. Dystopia is now, in Gaza and in immigration detention apnews.com/article/pale...

Super excited about this! And pondering a submission…

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza, remains unlawfully imprisoned by Israel. Today marks 185 days of detention—for the crime of refusing to abandon his patients. He was just awarded the 2025 Human Rights Defender Award by the Palestinian legal group Lawyers for Justice.
