Disabled People are Being Mistreated in ICE Detention Facilities Why is no one talking about it? Where's the media? Where's the public outcry? Another example of the pervasive nature of ableism and how society views disabled people as expendable.

I’m sharing this again because Alma still hasn’t been released, and neither has Rodney Taylor.

ICE is targeting disabled people and counting on society not caring because they see us as expendable.

They also grabbed and dragged a disabled blind man in Portland last week.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I never want to hear that again but WOW it was fucking amazing!

A Ballot Measure Targets Mail Voting in Maine - Bolts Question 1, on the November ballot, would set up a barrage of new restrictions on absentee ballots that would considerably affect older voters and people with disabilities.

If this ballot measure passes in 9 days in Maine, it will upend the rules of elections in that state in the future — starting, you know it, with next year’s Senate race.

It was pushed by a conservative organization that is aiming to shift the state to a GOP majority.

A dark bird with a chicken-like beak, tiny head, long flight feathers, a ruffed black and white neck and keen yellow-orange eye. A strange stalk sticks up from just above the beak, reaching 1-2 inches long. It stands on a generic clump of what I assume is floating vegetation, most of which is out of focus.

This thread goes out to the 'Birds Aren't Real' crowd. The "horned screamer" (Anhima cornuta) appears to be an early prototype with a visible antenna.

They're called "screamers" because they 'scream' at anything new or troubling & I find that so relatable.

ICE keeps detaining pregnant immigrants — against federal policy But the number is impossible to measure since Congress let lapse a requirement that ICE report how many pregnant, postpartum and nursing immigrants are in custody.

ICE’s own policies say the agency should not detain pregnant, postpartum or nursing individuals.

It’s doing so anyway. Immigrants’ health is suffering. Congress has abandoned a requirement that ICE make public how many such immigrants have been detained.

ISABELLA STEWAHT GAHDNAH MUSEUM HEIST OF 1990 WAS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. LOUVRUH AIN'T SHIT COMPARED TO THAT.

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

ICE has also purchased spyware in recent weeks that enables it to remotely hack into smartphones and extract data, even if the phones are locked or communication is over encrypted apps. One of them, developed by the company Paragon, has drawn considerable concern from civil rights groups due to its use by other governments to monitor political dissidents and journalists. ICE’s initial $2 million contract for Paragon spyware was suspended by the Biden administration due to those ethical concerns, but the contract was reactivated on Aug. 29.

The Globe often and inconspicuously flies below the radar. It's owned by billionaire John Henry (also owner of the Boston Red Sox). This is class solidarity.

"The purpose of politics is to enact an agenda to actually improve people's lives. It isn't merely to get Democrats elected for the sake of doing so. Which Democrats we elect and how we get them elected matters," says @anatosaurus.bsky.social.

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

Children’s Authors on the Real-World Cost of Book Banning Authors discuss how having their work targeted by censors has directly affected their livelihood and their well-being.

Just a reminder that Banned Books Week isn’t about selling more copies of 1984. It’s about keeping authors and teachers and librarians safe and making sure all of us have the freedom to read widely. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”
