Horrific and heartbreaking. We must act to dismantle and abolish ICE. Support the Maine Solidarity Fund: www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati... They show up for Black, Brown, immigrant and trans neighbors by providing direct aid to get people out, back with their families, and have the care they need.

Here is a verified gofundme for his family: gofund.me/bf251d4ee

No one should have to learn their dad was killed by state forces on Facebook. ICE wields unchecked power to violently and brutally rip apart families and destroy lives. Our system is built to do this. And that means it cannot continue. Repro justice demands that we #AbolishICE.

Philando Castile often paid for the lunches of students who couldn’t afford them or had debt. After his murder, his mother, Valerie Castile, donated money to wipe out lunch debt and was part of getting Governor Tim Walz to implement free school lunch. www.theguardian.com/us-news/arti...

Every child deserves the opportunity to visit their incarcerated parent. Yet 67% of parents in prison with minor children have NEVER received a visit from them – mostly because they live too far away.

The number of people experiencing homelessness in the U.S. is a crisis. But instead of investing in solutions that work—like Housing First programs—cities across the country are shuffling unhoused folks into the carceral system, leaving us all worse off:

A federal judge in Louisiana — Trump appointee David Joseph — has orderd the release of a nursing mother of a 6-month-old (and 3 other minor US citizen kids) who was detained in vioaltion of ICE's policy against detaining most pregnant/postpartum mothers. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

the minnesota 15, indicted by the federal government for their work against ICE, leave the federal courthouse in downtown minneapolis after their first appearances and are joined by supporters waiting outside

Abolish ICE. We must get rid of a force that snatches people from their neighborhoods, separates them from their loved ones, and cages them for simply existing.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld state bans on trans athletes’ participation in women and girls’ sports. “There is an effort that we're seeing escalate to push trans people out of public life,” says @chasestrangio.bsky.social of the ACLU.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court holds that the Fourteenth Amendment protects birthright citizenship, blocking Donald Trump's executive order to end it. Roberts has the opinion for the court, which is 5-4 on the constitutional question and 6-3 on whether federal law protects birthright citizenship.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court upholds West Virginia and Idaho's laws banning trans girls and women from women's sports. Justice Kavanaugh has the opinion for the court, holding that states "may" make sports eligibility based on "biological sex." www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

I'm devastated

As I grieve the death of a Palestinian baby shot and killed in his mother’s arms in a car by the Israeli forces, I grieve the death of an American baby shot and killed in his mother’s arms in a car by a cop. Sam Fahd Abu Haikal. Kohen Wiley. I hope in your short lives, you knew only love and joy.

We're hearing reports that police have tear gassed a group of protesters outside the Senatobia Walmart where an officer shot and killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley.

Remember, if the feds come knocking, shut the f*ck up, and call the Federal Defense Hotline at 212-679-2811.

BREAKING: Louisiana Gov. Landry has signed one of the cruelest anti-homeless bills in the country into law. HB211 will make it a crime to sleep outside, punishing homeless people with extreme fines and jail, while also setting the stage for forced treatment and even forced labor. buff.ly/f1BBIIZ

JUST IN: The Justice Department announced charges at a news conference Tuesday morning in Minneapolis stemming from opposition to federal immigration enforcement. This is a developing story; check back for updates.

Feds just cited the phrase “we must become ungovernable” as evidence that Minnesota activists being charged are dangerous.

Today's the day, the Senate will be voting on the ICE First Families Last Act, shoving $70 billion into mass deportations, for agencies that are violent, already very well funded, and refuse to commit to following court orders. Meanwhile health care and gas costs are skyrocketing

Gov. Mikie Sherrill's mishandling of protests outside the Newark ICE detention center, with violent state troopers running amok, is a national embarrassment To make it worse, Sherrill invoked the vile "outside agitator" trope of 1960s segregationists My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/miki...

On Fri night, Brooklyn court staff forced a woman to give birth inside the courtroom. Per public defenders, she gave birth in handcuffs, unable to reposition herself, unable to pick up her infant. The men who’d shackled her looked on. The judge lauded the birth of a ‘beautiful baby’ on the record.

If you're mad at this (and you should be): Tomorrow at 1pm 120 Schermerhorn in BK Rally to demand accountability from the absolute ghouls in our courts.

Mife by mail is still available in all 50 states—pass it on. We just heard from SCOTUS that they are going to continue to allow providers to prescribe mifepristone through the mail–at least until this case has gone through appeal.

Utterly vile. Ken Paxton knows no bounds when it comes to cruelty and state violence.

‘One year after my abduction by ICE, I still watch my back every day,’ Mahmoud Khalil writes. ‘When someone falls in step behind me, I stop, tie my shoe, check my phone, and wait until they pass.’

Repro justice and abolition go together. Until no one is caged for how their pregnancy ends, the RLDF will be here. And we need tools like California Coalition for Women Prisoners' Know Your Repro Rights in Prison, that empowers people incarcerated to advocate and resist across prison walls.
