The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time." Full article: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/28/m...

Oh this is good

at a peaceful protest at Broadview ICE processing facility (used for detention), ICE fired chemical weapons directly into a disabled protestor hours after they killed someone in Chicago trying to kidnap them. who’s ACTUALLY making our cities unsafe? it’s not my undocumented neighbors

Nory Sontay Ramos was a thriving high school student in L.A. until she and her mom were deported by the Trump administration in July. For @msnbc.com, we visited her in Guatemala as she tries to graduate remotely while hiding from the same gang they fled years ago. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/n...

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

85% of the world lives in the Global South. 🌍 But we receive less than 25% of development financing. 💸 Less than 2% of aid directly reaches local NGOs. 💔 Yet we suffer 90% of climate deaths. 🌡️ — Ezekiel Nyanfor, Liberian activist at the Global South NGO Platform (2025) 🇱🇷✊🏾

Horace Peterson has been freed after 52 years of maintaining his innocence

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants. Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

Requiring people to work to access healthcare is a classic eugenicist platform. It says that only those who are healthy and fit enough for jobs are worthy of care. The GOP plan to impose Medicaid work requirements is cruel and grotesque; it should be labelled as such by media.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea? 139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea. A 🧵

Mr. Ceesay is a 63-year old man thrown into ICE detention with no warning in February after 14 years of check-ins — where he had a heart attack soon after. Judge Vilardo uses his case to emphasize WHY due process matters, even if deportation is the outcome. It's worth reading this whole thing.

ICE says it is investigating the cause of death of 44-year-old Marie Ange Blaise in a Florida detention center on Friday. A local congresswoman says Blaise had complained of chest pains "for hours."

Save our souls

The MESA Board of Directors has issued a statement condemning unlawful visa revocations and intimidation targeting international students and scholars. Read the full statement here: mesana.org/advocacy/let...

Citizens’ Impeachment has long held that if just 5% of Americans contacted their members of Congress about impeachment, it would be the largest collective action of its kind in American history. It would almost certainly lead to his removal from office. Advocate for impeachment in five minutes:

The chaos this is causing is absolutely cruel and absolutely intentional.

We know of 3 US citizen children deported yesterday, along with their moms who had been living in the US for years. One of the moms was pregnant. One of the kids has a rare form of cancer. One of the kids is just 2 years old. All had caregivers in the US to stay with.

The violence keeps escalating.

How much more clear does it have to be that this man had/has genocidal intent?

This is an incredibly important point. One way folks can help is by reaching out to local immigrants rights orgs and asking if they have volunteer opportunities to accompany people at ICE check-ins. If not, what a great project to start in your community!

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

The Bush administration disappeared people too, sent them to a different gulag at Gitmo and other black sites, kidnapped people off the street of Milan, tortured them, in the name of "a different kind of war." We didn't come close to holding them accountable. We're seeing the cost of that now.

BREAKING: A court ruled that our case challenging Rümeysa Öztürk's unlawful detention should move forward in Vermont, instead of Louisiana, and that ICE must transfer her there. Nobody should be shipped to a detention facility halfway across the country for writing an op-ed.

“I believe in the innate equality of all human beings. I believe in human dignity. I believe in the right of my people to look at the blue sky and not fear an impending missile,” says Mahmoud Khalil in a newly released op-ed. wapo.st/4czL2dT

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

This needs to become a much bigger story. We cannot let Palantir get this contract. www.wired.com/story/palant... @chrislhayes.bsky.social

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

UK Greenpeace activists have turned the US embassy in London red to go with its complicity in genocide.

Free. This. Woman. Free. Them. All.

COMPARE: the results of fighting back to the results of not fighting back

If this doesn’t scream free them all…

This is an absolute breach of trust of the people who contribute to everyone else’s Social Security and Medicare

Immigration was always going to be the entry point for authoritarianism and so, so many Americans bought it hook, line, and sinker.

Ok NYC!

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

“While in the interrogation room, Makled said, a man in plain clothes entered and began speaking to him. He said he recalls the man telling him: ‘We know you're a lawyer. We know you take on big cases.’”

The decision here to potentially invalidate 60,000 votes is incredibly troubling.

University of California announces that several (>20 but actual sum unknown) international students had visas revoked. Multiple campuses are affected. At least one deportation already. Faculty, it's time to STOP WORK and push UC into PROTESTING this. www.universityofcalifornia.edu/press-room/u...

Here are some orgs that are working on issues of social justice that folks can get involved with — I haven’t looked into each one, but it’s a place to start! Thanks Maia for sharing!
