"Public frustration with the limitations of our offices will continue to invite provocateurs and opportunists," Wilson wrote, in part. "They'll insist that local police can impede or arrest federal officers at will, or that wielding civil land use laws and implementing fines can effectively remove ICE from our communities. "There is something quintessentially American about these demands," he added. "Like my fellow mayors, I, too, have wished that we could find a loophole or dust off a forgotten law. Portland's attorneys have certainly looked. That said, we don't need to pull a legal rabbit out of a hat to win. We only need to stay the course."

Portland, OR mayor Keith Wilson responding to public demands that ICE's land use permit be rescinded after they gassed thousands of peaceful men women and children.

Kinda curious what "the course" we should stay is here, Keith? Watching ICE gas, abduct and sometimes shoot our neighbors?

I do not want to hear the term 'underaged women' ever again.
It is such a gross term.
The word is 'girls' or 'children'.

The Real Story Behind the Midnight Immigration Raid on a Chicago Apartment Building The Trump administration has claimed the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had taken over the building. But new documents make no mention of the gang and reveal federal agents had information about “ille...

Remember that horrific immigration raid in Chicago? Turns out it was just ICE doing the work of landlords, because of course the landlord class is a collaborator.

This is Maria, a 6-year-old detained by ICE last year.

She began to unravel soon after arriving at a detention center in Texas, wetting the bed after years without accidents, crying through the night and begging to breastfeed again.

Most of all, she wanted to be reunited with her cat, Milo. 1/

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Transplant recipient arrested by federal agents in Rochester needs medicine, state representative says State Rep. Kim Hicks told MPR News she drove to the Whipple Federal Building near Ft. Snelling Thursday night to give the man his medication but authorities wouldn't take it without a doctor's note. S...

A man taken into custody in Rochester Thursday by federal immigration agents and now held at the Whipple Federal Building in the Twin Cities is a recent organ transplant recipient who is without his needed anti-rejection medication, state Rep. Kim Hicks tells MPR News.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Remember that midnight raid in Chicago supposedly to arrest Tren del Aragua members? Newly revealed court docs show that the raid was facilitated by the building owners who are now accused of using the raid to evict tenants. DHS never mentions TDA in their filings: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Screenshot of a post from an account called “Goyim Bureau of Investigation,” labeled as a parody account. The post shows a two panel meme using a man standing at a whiteboard. In the first panel, text on the board reads “The world is run by Jewish pedophiles.” In the second panel, the text reads “We need to do more than just post edgy memes. It’s time for physical removal.” The figure’s face is replaced with a skull-like cartoon with glowing red eyes and a black helmet bearing a fascist-style symbol. The post includes engagement metrics showing over 100,000 views.

Screenshot of a tweet by David Miller stating that Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad superspy and referring to a so-called “Jewish Empire.” The tweet claims that media institutions protect Jewish power and compares mainstream media unfavorably to online influencers. Below the tweet is an embedded post from “Sneako Updates” showing a paused video clip from Piers Morgan Uncensored, with multiple commentators on screen and Sneako appearing in a smaller window. Engagement metrics show tens of thousands of views.

THREAD 🧵:

The Epstein files are real. The antisemitism they're fueling is also real.

And right now, the second part is getting almost no attention.

Upset they’re not allowed to help ICE violate people’s rights—only document them doing it—today SPD officers asked Mayor Katie Wilson if they can at least get special chairs to sit in if they have to just watch another law enforcement agency brutalize the people they usually do.

sorry maybe this is an unnecessary level of stating the obvious, but sometimes when someone says they don’t think puerto ricans are “american,” it isn’t an opportunity to do a little civics gotcha & tell them about the insular cases. they just mean they think real americans are white.

NO GENDER MARKERS ON GOVERNMENT ID, NOW

These are all Black people. The regime is betting that you wont care Jamael & Trahern the way you care about Alex & Renée

“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER?

A link to ayagdos.org and a ‘Learn More’ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.”

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

"Alone among wealthy nations, the United States does not provide federal paid family leave or health insurance and does not subsidize childcare. ... The desire to impose racialized ideals of 'morality' and family structure have outweighed measures proven to help future generations."

Sign the Petition Demand the Release of Rodney Taylor from ICE Detention

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!

Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.

He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.

His health is declining.

Public outrage might save his life.

Say his name:

Utah lawmakers sweep their own study on care for trans kids under the rug as they push to ban it As Utah's lawmakers move to ban gender-affirming care for transgender kids, they've avoided discussing a report they commissioned on the issue that says care helps kids.

Utah lawmakers asked for a review of studies on gender-affirming care's effects on trans youth after passing a "moratorium." Records show they planned on publicly discussing the report — until it concluded the care is largely found to have positive outcomes.

Now, they're pushing a permanent ban.

I hope by now everyone gets that all struggles are intertwined, but if you had any doubt—

this bounty hunter model is based off of Texas’ SB8, which was the death knell for Roe—

& allowed ppl to pull these same vigilante lawsuits against anyone assisting in someone getting abortion care.

reminder to all that slavery is still legal in the united states as long as the slaves have been convicted of a crime

Same with others like teachers, nurses, garbage collectors. The rich steal hours a day in forcing commutes for their theme parks.

Yea this is increasingly what we've turned our gentrified neighborhoods into: theme parks for the rich. Shit makes me sick
