The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as β€œwe can do that to whoever we want”

Masked federal agents removing crates of belongings from the ICE shooter's home

Masked federal agents removing crates of belongings from the ICE shooter's home

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.

Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

It’s costing taxpayers $450/M annually & Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp is already flooding. Imagine a hurricane. People are going to die.

There’s always enough money to hurt folks, but when it comes to public transit, low-income housing, schools, or public healthcare, β€œSorry, we’re broke.”

Donate to Help Us Seek Justice for a 5-Year-Old Facing Racial Hate, organized by Rochester Branch NAACP On April 30, 2025, in a City of Rochester public park, a whit… Rochester Branch NAACP needs your support for Help Us Seek Justice for a 5-Year-Old Facing Racial Hate

Hey guys- White nationalists have helped a white woman in Minnesota raise $300k after she was filmed calling a five-year-old Black child the n-word.

The local NAACP chapter is fundraising for the boy and his family to get legal help. The least we could do is out-fundraise the nazis.

Donate here:

In between the stories of horrific human rights abuses and trade war insanity I remember that they have also destroyed all our research and data infrastructure and effectively ended any environmental, health, or labor regulation.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Mahmoud Khalil’s Son Arrives After ICE Refuses to Let Him Attend Birth (Gift Article) Mr. Khalil, a permanent resident detained in Louisiana, had requested a monitored furlough for the birth. His request was denied in less than an hour.

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's wife gave birth to their child without him after ICE denied their request to let him be present.

β€œThis was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer,” Dr. Abdalla said. β€œMy son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud."

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

β€”Pioneering cancer researcher;
β€”*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
β€”Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
β€”"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Read it.
