ICE wants you to believe that he tied his own and hands and feet, then hung himself.

“Three days after immigration agents raided an Allston car wash, the lawyer representing the nine workers who were detained says he still has not been able to contact some of his clients — or even confirm where they are being held.” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/07/m...

"Many of them, he said, held legal status, but were unable to immediately produce their documentation to the agents. “Some people left their property, their work permits in their lockers here,” [their boss] said. “I could bring it to them and get them released. But I don’t know where they are.”"

ICE has been seizing people in Allston. Boston area folks, spread the word about the LUCE hotline to report ICE sightings. And here's stickers you can print and put up anywhere:

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

There’s so much going on, there’s no way newsrooms and the public can keep up.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement. Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Des Moines public school issues statements yesterday (scroll down) saying that Ian Roberts had an FBI background check in 2023 and it raised no red flags and Roberts said he was a US Citizen. To summarize: ICE said Roberts entered the US in 1999. He was running track for Copin Sate though in 1997

79. American citizen.

“The study found that about 7% of US adults have been present at the scene of a mass shooting in their lifetime, and more than 2% have been injured during one.”

pretty wild that it so quickly became normalized that immigrants don’t have even basic free speech rights www.axios.com/2025/09/11/c...

BREAKING: By an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court halts an injunction that had prevented immigration agents from racially profiling Latinos in central California. Sotomayor, dissenting, says the decision is "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees."

Virginia Giuffre isn’t here to tell her story anymore, but she wrote a memoir and it’s coming out in October. She deserves to be heard and remembered. #BookSky Details here: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/712958...

Of note: they tell you how much it costs for the government to run the free filing system, but they don’t tell you how much it would cost to have a private corporation do it. (Hint: it would cost taxpayers more to have a private corporation do it.)

"If you don't stand for the invocation, I'll have you removed" was what Lt Gov of TX Patrick said as he threatened to have Texans removed from the gallery if they didn't stand to participate in a prayer. We are not a Christian Nation & no one should have to participate in prayer. #Pinks

One of Trump's many dipshits left behind sensitive documents about the Anchorage summit on a hotel copy machine -- including: names and numbers of U.S. and Russian state leaders, schedule and room locations. Yet another major national security breach. www.npr.org/2025/08/16/n...

The IRS's free Direct File tool is now "gone," according to Trump's IRS chief. This comes after tax prep companies like Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the for years to block it. Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

Great game! #upthekingdom

Just learned from LinkedIn that a Heritage Foundation affiliate is now FOIA-ing (or equivalent) instructors’ syllabi to go snooping for supposed illegal DEI at state universities. It’s hard to describe how far past McCarthyism we’re headed here.

McGovern: "A family making less than $50,000 a year? They get less than $1 a day in tax cuts. You can't buy a damn cup of coffee with that. But those making a million dollars or more? They'll get more than $250 a day in tax breaks ... that's how rigged this bill is to benefit the wealthy."

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this. The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying. America really is dystopian as fuck.

This paragraph stopped me in my tracks “John Hoffman… entered state politics after he struggled to obtain insurance for his daughter, who has spina bifida. He figured others were having the same difficulty” He entered politics to help people get healthcare coverage. He got shot 9 times

In my opinion, Trump's shift on this issue ("stop raiding farms and hotels") demonstrates the US needs to have an honest conversation about the role of undocumented immigrants in this country. And who constitutes this population. I'm afraid the rhetoric has already poisoned the well.

This is why so many of Trump’s public interpreters are young white women. They bring this to his toolkit. Did anyone else read Jeff’s piece on this re: Noem? It is in the pocket. religiondispatches.org/dont-take-th...
