Feels like "missing" is inaccurate. This child was kidnapped by the secret police and is now either a political prisoner or a trafficking victim.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

I still reflexively scan the lot for good sleeping spots when I pull into a Walmart, and also shudder at the thought of ever living that life again. It's been years. And yes, I had a full time job at better than minimum wage.

🧵This 58-year-old nurse from Maryland is seen being violently dragged along the ground by officials in Ghana. Trump deported her there. This abhorrent & disgusting abuse of a woman who saved American lives and cared for injured and ill Americans for 30 years. All the details below are worse.

The Trump administration openly says that it will use its domestic spying capabilities to target people who oppose ICE’s actions. And ICE has been bulking up on the latest surveillance technology. bit.ly/3Kq348R

Trump is invading American cities to nominally address crime, and I think the scale of his pardon-sprees should be given more political salience

A presidential memo saying officers carrying out Caribbean boat strikes can’t be prosecuted is a confession the attacks are war crimes. Virtually every lawyer across the political spectrum identifying them as blatant, unambiguous violations of the laws of armed combat is because they’re war crimes.

People will say anything on here. “We used to be a proper country,” no we didn’t. That’s not true.

idk sometimes it's fun to be a guy who looks like the most woman

BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.

This new policy from NIH is concerning. It looks like a way to weaponize administrative burden, one of Russell Vought's favorite moves to break gov't. Background: Program staff / NIH institute directors can move grants around outside peer review order. 1/

It's absolutely disgusting what the New York Times, and particularly Azeen Ghorayshi, is doing with its coverage of autism. It's so deeply irresponsible. It's the same playbook they ran on trans kids.

This is not the way, and @cnygren.bsky.social and I lay out in detail why it isn’t in this essay here. static1.squarespace.com/static/55577...

Trans Safety Network are extremely concerned that DHSC are continuing to solicit input on trans healthcare from Bayswater and other anti trans groups after a reply to our previous concerns stated they would not work with groups who promote harmful practices or discriminatory views

we still haven't moved past the double meaning problem here---the people who want Zohran to be "tougher on antisemitism" really mean "silent on Israeli genocide."

Israel has violated the U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire nearly 500 times in 44 days—killing 342 civilians, including children, women, and the elderly. That's more than 11 violations every single day. The genocide never stopped. Palestinians are still being killed.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

Don’t think ppl understand the terror the Feds are unleashing on the streets of LA right now. Roving patrols targeting vulnerable individuals. It’s horrible. There’s no one coming to save us except ourselves.

Hey fellow alums: if you'd like to voice your displeasure, here is the contact info for Cornell President, Michael Kotlikoff. (607) 255-5201 [email protected]

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

Heartbreaking: Under Trump's ICE terror, a 2-year-old Chicago girl was tear-gassed while walking with her mom-burning eyes, screams of 'Ouch! Mommy!' This isn't enforcement; it's state-sponsored child abuse.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Congratulations to my friends in New York. Now can we please shift the focus to Chicago? (These items are all from today.)

Cockroaches, blood in the sinks and nowhere to bathe: Immigrants sue over ‘horrific’ conditions inside Chicago ICE facility Reports @the-independent.com

So the administration has demonstrated its strategy centered on repeatedly breaking the law & violating people's rights. Will any official face any accountability for this crime spree?

we're ngmi

12 and 15

whether people voted for this or not is kind of irrelevant now, people clearly fucking hate this shit in practice, the admin and the republican party are trying to insist that they have a broad popular mandate for this, and they do not

They literally ruin everything they touch

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

What have you mistaken for "manhood" that was actually fear? That’s where the work begins. Join the conversation Dec 6. Save your seat today. rsvp.lifebeyondthesupremacymyth.com/winter-2025

This may be uncomfortable to hear, but it’s essential to say clearly…there is no such thing as a “non-racist” white person. Whiteness itself is not just a neutral identity. It’s a social construct built historically in opposition to Blackness.

And actually astonishing when you think about it: The Trump administration's top officials are choosing to separate themselves from the public—more to the point: separate themselves from any visible protest—and live on military bases. Gift link here: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The Trump administration will soon be releasing two Medicaid rules that would ban medicaid funding for gender affirming care for trans youth and any Medicaid reimbursements to any organization that provides care to trans youth. This would be a de facto national ban www.npr.org/sections/sho...

A friend of mine in Chicago just shared a video on IG of an ICE operation near her house. The operation happened just minutes before the neighborhood Halloween parade. ICE used tear gas and multiple parents had to wash their kids' (including toddlers) eyes out.

The brutality. The corruption. The lies. Everything is on full display — and many Americans are beginning to learn an important lesson. Watch.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

the truth is that this isn't a theocracy and jesus isn't my fucking king

America As No-Longer-Democracy and Not-Yet-Dictatorship Where does the country stand after the largest day of protest in U.S. history? Putting “No Kings” in perspective. Some thoughts from my new piece:

People are constantly asking me — what can I do? Between now and the 2026 midterm elections, here are five practical steps you can take to make a difference. youtu.be/8W-lVRQQGtI?...

Israeli soldiers were filmed assaulting a Palestinian woman as she tried to stop them from seizing her husband’s body after he was shot during a military raid in the city of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank.

hey just an fyi if you see someone at your anti-authoritarianism event advocating for palestine, don’t be like this lady who doesn’t understand that the u.s. government is funding a genocide led by a deranged authoritarian government abroad. it’s not a good look. please stop doing this.

people don't say "ACAB" because they think every individual human being that is a cop is a meanie. its because the institution of policing fundamentally requires you to be a bastard.

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) at the Boston No Kings rally today, wore the trans pride flag like a scarf draped over his shoulders and included in his speech. "Because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We stand with trans people because trans rights are human rights."

Chicago No Kings

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. #NoKings
