We spoke to Black women who started the Target boycott & who sustained it for a yr+. They'll likely never go back.
Teacher Laverne Mickens put it like this: “[Black women] will say if & when it’s over. And I can tell you right now: That will be the 15th of never ever.”

ICE detained a 9-year-old with severe autism and his mom for more than 80 days.
The boy depends on daily therapy, but at Dilley, those supports vanished.

“This child has been dragged from detention center to detention center, to places that are not meant for children. They are definitely not built for children with severe disabilities. It’s inhuman, illegal, and unconstitutional.”
We have a screened-in porch where my cats hang out and I just discovered they’re terrified of deer 🥺

Hegseth and Stephen Miller ridiculed "rules of engagement" and vowed this war won't be "politically correct." Now it looks like we may have bombed an elementary school. Hegseth/Miller's certainty that their version of "strength" would have support is imploding. 3/

Merchant marine! Who suffered a burn injury at work that covered his entire right arm and he never got workman’s comp either.
My 3-year-old is trying to explain Dr Seuss to me because it’s Dr Seuss week at daycare 😭.
Day one of not moving until people say excuse me. Got a dirty look at the grocery store, was worth it.

Rahman, a U.S. citizen, was forced out of her car by ICE officers in January in Minneapolis.
Hello! I’m the reporter who has been tracking citizens detained by immigration agents. And last night, I noticed something: A lot of them were at the State of the Union, including a number of whom I’ve written about.
Their stories should be known:
So... does anyone care about this? That Michael B. Jordan's parents flew to London to see their son and they left the BAFTAs in tears? That he was repulsed?
