Mom is tired

A leaked DOJ memo obtained by @kenklippenstein.bsky.social reveals an effort to build a list of supposedly "anti-American" groups and individuals, an escalation of the administration's crackdown on dissent. The list targets "not just the left" but "anyone who isn't a Trump supporter," he says.

Three-year-old child forced to serve as her own attorney in Tucson immigration court More than a dozen undocumented minors were forced to make their case in front of an immigration judge as the Trump administration ramps up removal proceedings.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

(1/5)'. christinanguyenmpls 11h We had an ICE scare yesterday and even though we’re afraid of the repercussions of being vocal, we feel that it’s also important to inform people that this is right at our front door. ICE is not some far away boogeyman. They are here right now, spreading fear in our community. We’re so grateful to our entire staff and their bravery. They did the right things and couldn’t have dealt with this situation in a better way. We are grateful to our community activists that came to support us from @miracmn @litosonlake and Monarcha. We hope that if you find yourself in the same situation, that you find these resources helpful. Peace and take care of each other ❤️

WE ARE HEARTBROKEN THAT OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES IN THE TWIN CITIES ARE BEING TARGETED AND TERRORIZED BY THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION. THESE ARE REAL PEOPLE THAT ARE BEING USED AS POLITICAL PAWNS AND IT'S APPALLING. REGARDLESS OF THEIR LEGAL STATUS, THERE ARE SO MANY LATINOS & SOMALIANS WHO ARE AFRAID OF BEING DETAINED DUE TO MISTAKEN IDENTITY BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY MIGHT NOT GET DUE PROCESS & A FAIR TRIAL. THEY WILL JUST END UP IN DETENTION CENTERS & A LEGAL PROCESS THAT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A BLACK HOLE. WE STAND IN SUPPORT OF OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY, WHO ARE THE BACKBONE OF THIS COUNTRY. WITHOUT IMMIGRANTS, AMERICA IS NOT THE SAME PLACE. STAY SAFE OUT THERE & TAKE CARE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS. LOVE, HOLA AREPA & HAI HAI (5/5)

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

Our kids should never forgive us.

I stopped scrolling to address my car that wouldn’t start and now I’m back and Jesus what a shitshow. I’m gonna do all the work I have to do to avoid looking at it all.

Please help if you can

My car won’t start. The ignition is completely dead. I’m in a parking lot in the snow.

The war on fentanyl now includes cocaine.

Thinking alot about this these days

The sooner everyone understands that these billionaires want us dead, the better our chances for survival are.

Looking forward to the part where they decide the California redistricting that we all voted for is actually unconstitutional discrimination against the klan

A picture is worth a 1000 words. The birth dose of hepatitis B vaccines in the USA eliminated perinatally acquired hepatitis B infection from over 20,000 cases a year before the vaccine was introduced to <20 cases a year. The gaslighting by the current members ACIP is obscene, unethical and cruel.

B&W photo of Erika Szeles, a 15 year old Hungarian girl, looking into the camera and holding a rifle. Crowd of onlookers behind her. She was killed in 1956.

My daughter has just discovered the mind blowing resemblance we share with Erika Szeles, the martyred Hungarian Freedom Fighter. We also learned she was Jewish, and honestly the 3 of us look so alike, she could be a 10th cousin for all we know.

Knock, Knock.

Who's there?

Our government is disappearing people!

Our government is disappearing people, who?

Our government is effin disappearing people! Wake TF up to tyranny & #ICELawlessness & SPEAK TF UP!

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

For real though, this monster should be forced to sit and listen to my Jewish friend who visited the West Bank and Gaza as a public health worker about 10 years ago. Betrayal is the right word, her anger (and mine) is beyond words.

“ICE has often been arresting children at 26 Federal Plaza”

ICE Arrested and Separated Chinese Father From 6-Year-Old Son, Advocates Say The father and son were detained at an ICE check-in on Nov. 26, advocates say. The son’s location is currently unknown, while the father is being held at an upstate ICE facility.

A 6-year-old boy is missing after ICE arrested him and his dad in NYC last week and shipped them off to separate facilities. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/02/i... @thecity.nyc @gwynnefitz.bsky.social

All of this. I can’t say it any more clearly.

No words.

This They Might Be Giants TONIGHT SHOW performance of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" from 1990 remains firmly lodged in my noggin thanks to the Tonight Show Band's full commitment and Doc Severinsen's incredible trumpeting... It took an already great song and made it transcendent.

And let's not get it twisted, there's a whole generation of students out there who can't fucking reason or write -by design - the issue here is that THIS particular piece of trash writing is being used to purge trans faculty from a university.

This is why my teen (who scored a 5 on her AP English exam) is so jaded. Unlike this college sophomore, she's been using citations since middle school.

Not sure, probably?

Their issue focus was rooted in Bernie's message about the working class, but like some other Bernie voters, their racism made them an easy target for massive disinformation campaigns. Their focus shifted to immigration, and their current beliefs are based in a completely distorted reality.

I have family members that went from Bernie to Trump. I'm writing an essay on the topic but in short, Bernie represented a pushback on D party capture by "elites." The shift to Trump started when Bernie conceded to Hilary, and then the YouTube algorithm gradually steered them to MAGA content.

There’s a lot going on there.
