Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being β€œserved food that contained worms.”

A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees.

The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees β€” it was for the staff.

Federal agents claimed to hospital staff in Minnesota that an immigrant injured himself by running into a wall.

When I showed this story to a friend just now, she replied: "To have that excuse at the ready, I bet they have a lot of practice saying it about their wives. That's who they're hiring."

Platforming these lies is only a gift to murderers, allowing them to further assert their impunity. Seeing Welker's & Bash's solemn faces on my feed makes me as ill as seeing Blanche's & Bovino's smug faces. All in on the charade. Then we're all outraged & helpless, click click click... I hate it.

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

Federal agents abduct two teenagers (15 & 16) from a doctor's appointment

If anyone has ever given the mainstream media the benefit of the doubt, believed that they are, perhaps ineptly, just trying to remain unbiased, today is the day that should snap you out of it.

Voting for Trump β€” and regretting it
Sharif, the Madina Mall shop owner who fears she may have to return to the bad old days of having a boss, gave out an exasperated sigh. 

β€œWould you believe if I told you I voted for this man?” she said, referring to Trump.

Sharif is not politically active, but in 2024, some campaigners came to her shop and told her that Trump would be good for business and against the LGBTQ agenda. 

β€œI was immediately hooked,” she said. She voted Republican for the first time.

Now, chagrined, she said, β€œI never thought the man I put in office would come for my family, make me financially struggle and cause me so much fear that I carry my passport when I go to the bathroom,” she said, pointing at the mall’s bathrooms.

β€œI feel as though the weapon I built is coming to kill me and my people,” she said.

I wonder this whenever I see the NYT headlines about β€œTrumps blah blah strategy.” He does not have strategy or theory or philosophy or an approach! He is addled and has impulses. So much truly depends on the media agreeing that this isn’t obvious.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Those who could fix it, will never fix it. They depend on desperation, hunger, and insecurity for their wealth. Poverty is a choice for a reason.

This video will probably get fewer likes than my posts on taxing billionaires. That difference says it all. Factory farming only survives if we don’t look. It’s time to hold these companies accountable. Every donation is matched, so $1 becomes $2 through Dec 31, 2025. Donate: MoralAmbition.org/food

Yes. We must extend the ACA tax credits so that over 20 million Americans don't see a doubling in their health premiums, on average. But we must do more. We cannot remain the only major country not to guarantee health care for all as a human right.

We must pass Medicare for All.
