Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

"Leaked  DNC autopsy found Biden's Israel backing cost Harris votes for president."

"Leaked DNC autopsy found Biden's Israel backing cost Harris votes for president."

This is so weird because the Pussy Hat people kept saying the problem was Chappell Roan, or young people, or Latinos, or...always something that isn't Dem candidates supporting a genocide. And that goes for Harris and Biden.

Normalize centering women's sports, e.g. "hockey, basketball" and "men's hockey, men's basketball" )and acknowledge that nonbinary players play).

One (more) thing my fellow white ladies have GOT to stop doing in organizing spaces is bleating about optics and marketing and how to reach people. I die a thousand deaths.

β€˜No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

This is notable but keep in mind the folks whose charges weren't dismissed can still face charges for five years, and "terrorism" offenses have no statute of limitations. To the extent feds even obey the law, they can wait until they control even more of the judiciary and file then

A brown shirt who got his degree from Liberty University who also happens to run the police department of Quakertown, Pennsylvania, choking out a kid in front of cameras is unseen levels of irony

Quakertown parents, groups demand release of students in police clash Civil rights groups and parents gathered in front of the Quakertown Police Department Saturday demanding answers for the violent confrontation Friday.

INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday.

They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.

I'm generally really down on the South Bay, for good reason, but tomorrow ALL THE HIGH SCHOOLS (EXCEPT MINE LOL) are doing a school walkout!

I am honestly in shock some of these schools have never had a walkout or protest for anything.

The McDonald's commitment to promoting criminal characters--a clown, a crook, a burglar--is the only thing likeable about the brand. Ok the fries.
