From Slave Patrols to ICE Agents: America Is Forced to Confront Its History of Tolerating White Supremacy

@mspackyetti.bsky.social makes the case that ICE is more like American slave patrols than the Gestapo, & offers how we can resist and fight back.

The G.O.P. Senator Who Can’t Stop Thinking About the Boy ICE Detained

Katie Britt is uniquely positioned to reason with the Trump administration β€” when she chooses to speak up.

The G.O.P. Senator Who Can’t Stop Thinking About the Boy ICE Detained Katie Britt is uniquely positioned to reason with the Trump administration β€” when she chooses to speak up.

Representative Joaquin Castro of Texas said in a post on social media that he had picked up Liam and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, from the Dilley detention center on Saturday night and escorted them to Minnesota on Sunday morning. He shared photos of the two on social media, including one showing Liam at the airport clutching what appeared to be a Pikachu toy and wearing a Pikachu backpack.

Mr. Castro was part of a delegation of Democratic lawmakers who visited Liam and his father at the detention center last week, where he said Liam’s father had reported that the child was β€œvery depressed” and hadn’t been eating well since they were detained earlier this month.

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen:

A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained"

But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

Kick. Scream. Go Apeshit. The coup is finished. We are not.

If you're worried about democracy, history or freedom of speech under the Trump-Musk administration, relax...

The coup has already happened.

And, apparently, no one cares.

Last week on UNDISTRACTED, @mspackyetti.bsky.social sat down with @shannonrwatts.bsky.social, the founder of @momsdemand.bsky.social, to talk about what *actually* works when it comes to movement-building and what we can learn from the fight for gun reform.

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.
