Well, because the poorest 10% of workers are the ones keeping the country running, whether or not you realize it. Try living without CNAs, grocery retail/ service workers, the lowest paid staff at medical facilities, drivers, janitors, farmers,food production workers, daycare staff. We matter.

How is it anecdote? We go to the store and things cost more, despite being a smaller size in many cases. Rent doubled within a ten year period in some areas, and more than that in others. Electric bills are skyrocketing thanks to the data centers.

White words on a black background read: 50+ Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino. ~130 Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. ~20 Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

Tweet from Fred Wellman: “Weird. I was told it’s a war zone.” Below is a Time Out Chicago post showing a scenic city skyline at sunset with the text: “Chicago has been voted the Best Big City in the U.S. for the ninth consecutive year.”

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

This guy? The one who steals and trashes the only belongings of his most impoverished constituents, AND proudly makes a photo op out of it?

We can have better.

It's not good for them or for us.

Resident doctors are being exploited.

They’re working 70 or 80 hours a week and trying to pay off student debts with totally inadequate salaries.

The good news is that they are forming unions and fighting back. I stand with them.

We have better options. And if we truly don't, then maybe it all needs to be scrapped and rebuilt from scratch.

The audacity of asking people to sacrifice their rights, their freedom, and their lives, rather than picking a better candidate, infuriates me. It's not lost on me that the people insisting on this are never the ones who'd be thrown under the bus as collateral damage.

Wanting basic human rights for ALL residents, and to end slavery and genocide, is not a "purity test". It is the bare fucking minimum. I can't believe that this has to be said.

The movie "Idiocracy" can't hold a candle to what's happening in real life now...

I do not understand why homelessness pisses people off enough to criminalize it, but not enough to fix it

A helpful database to search California public records about all the violence by police so that we can abolish them.

It is built by UC Berkeley and Stanford University, and is hosted by the SF Chronicle, LA Times, KQED, and Cal Matters.

Just wow! Can we appreciate the fact that a team from Mexico is in Texas helping with the search and rescue. 👏🏽

I am against facial recognition when used by Empire, but when it’s used to help take Empire down, that’s a better use of it.

This is a cover-up‼️

DHS is illegally trying to change the rules on congressional oversight visits to facilities to hide human rights abuses.

“We know that they’re trying to hide all those abuses. That’s why it’s important that we can just get in at a moment’s notice.” – Rep. @gomez.house.gov

🥹 Millions of Americans are coming together on this #NoKings Day to reject authoritarian overreach, defend democracy, and stand up for their communities.
