When one mother was taken by ICE, another stepped in to donate breastmilk Moms in Minneapolis are donating diapers, food and time to help families who have been ripped apart by ICE.

A mother in Minneapolis was abducted by ICE and sent to a detention center in Texas, leaving behind a 16 year old and a 3-month old baby. The baby was breastfed and hadn't eaten in a over day. Then a superhero arrived with 350 oz of breastmilk, bottles & extra clothes. 19thnews.org/2026/02/minn...

Seriously because look at your personal contribution to rape culture, it doesn't get fixed until everyone in society gets that we all have a choice to uphold it or not.

I’d like to interview folks for a possible story who’re still suffering from injuries sustained by LAPD, LASD, and ICE/CBP at the protests last year or while documenting immigration raids. Concussions, breathing issues from tear gas, broken bones

Jonathan Ross, wanting a camera so bad he used his own phone to record himself killing Renee Good, should have put this argument to bed before it even woke up.

I'm not even trying to argue about what should or shouldn't be a crime.

My point is that when fascists control the government, they criminalize ALL protest eventually.

Not to mention the very existence of target populations.

An official from the Texas Dept. of State Health Services said they are providing measles vaccines to the ICE family detention center in Dilley, Texas-- where two cases of measles have been reported.

He said the the two are no longer infectious and it does not meet the definition of an outbreak.

if you don't currently have a couch snuggler assigned to you, maybe this could help

A Day for Gaza Today, The Nation is turning over its website exclusively to stories from Gaza and its people. This is why.

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza.

We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

This is one of the most important cases that galvanized Black people in the late 40s through the 1950s. Almost every major Black leader had a comment about it. It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.

no matter how hard this dude tries to rebrand as mainstream/acceptable (he was at anti-ICE protests like last week) he just can't help himself

he has not changed substantially, or been genuinely contrite, since my article exposing how he wrote for nazi sites under the name Richard Hoste

They're pushing Newsom super hard hoping you forget there is still plenty of time to find a good candidate that doesn't throw trans rights into the garbage, because fuck voting for that piece of shit. THERE'S EASILY TIME. We can do better. You don't get to throw people's human rights & dignity away.
