Journalist Mario Guevara Speaks - Letter from ICE DETENTION FACILITY — THE BITTER SOUTHERNER The only journalist detained by ICE on US soil, sends a letter to The Bitter Southerner.

Chilling dispatch from Mario Guevara, the journalist trapped in ICE detention for...doing his job.

If Andor taught us one thing, it’s that we should probably cancel Disney+ right now.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

Wow. On NPR, @gbrumfiel.bsky.social reports a Social Security official “copied the Social Security numbers, names and birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private section of the agency's cloud.”

The source is a whistleblower, who is named: Charles Borges, SSN chief data officer.

This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.

Powerful statement from @civilrightsorg.bsky.social. "This overreach is another beta test for nationwide authoritarian control. All Americans should recognize that this must be challenged, or they risk their own rights and local control."

Black Women’s Equal Pay Day highlights disparities around how much time it takes Black women to earn as much as their white male counterparts.

It's on July 10 because that's how far into a new year the average Black woman has to work to match the average white man's salary from the prior year.

The rule of law is what separates democracy from dictatorship.

On this day in 1868, the 14th Amendment was ratified. The text is just as clear and relevant today as it was back then. Donald Trump is trying to erase this.

Read our advice for staying safe in demonstrations in the U.S. and elsewhere.

Now would be a good time for every elected Democrat to declare X an unsuitable platform for public office holders and shut down their account.

Do you think the Warning Coordination Meteorologist position at the Austin/San Antonio office was important?

He left in April, part of DOGE cuts,which offered early retirement to reduce the workforce. It’s now vacant, part of the strategy of reducing staff through attrition.

Absolutely enraging.

Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that.

It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.

Joint statement from state nurses associations on Medicaid enrollee… We wholeheartedly condemn this action, and demand that the information not be used to target any individuals.

We cannot be intimidated or deterred in this moment.

Taking the information of people seeking care that trusted a legally sanctioned program (CMS waiver/state funds), and then using that information for immigration enforcement is inhumane, horrific, & wrong.

This is absolutely outrageous. This is a US Senator — full stop. To treat him like this is beyond the pale and the mark of an authoritarian regime.

If they can do this to a sitting Senator, just think about what they can do to you. Absolutely no one should be treated this way.
