"We decluttered the old ways of thinking. Scratched out the chalkboard full of ideas. The answer had been in front of our eyes the whole time. It was straightforward. Elegant. Like a perfect mathematical proof. Our plan for peace was simple: kill everyone."

ICE thugs violently kidnapping a pregnant woman off the streets in Elgin, IL as her child watches in horror.

Please keep elevating these stories — Do NOT normalize this abuse. These people need to be held accountable.

Daily reminder

I think we should be honest that the *Greatest Generation* people [who were white] fought fascism ABROAD while they overwhelmingly supported fascism AT HOME. And frankly, those chickens have come home to roost now.

Police arrested over 40 people outside the Trump International Hotel in New York City as hundreds gathered for a peaceful action led by Jewish leaders calling for the end to Israel’s starvation and ethnic cleansing of Gaza.

It's not, you are correct. It will probably get worse, though.

Do not get on this internet on the 20th anniversary of Katrina and rehabilitate George Bush I swear to god.

Sudanese journalist Yousra El Bagir has managed to get some footage out of Al Fashir in Darfur, Sudan. The RSF siege of the city has cut it off from food supply and medical assistance for months. One reason you hear very little about Sudan is that the RSF kills anyone who tries to document the war.

Getting a bunch of "Call N. K.!" tags again. This happens every time somebody attempts to blow up/risks blowing up the moon -- which you wouldn't think would happen a lot, but here we are.

Mapping Border Killings No More Deaths publishes first comprehensive database of recovered human remains for the US-Mexico border

Today, @nomoredeaths.bsky.social released a database & map of migrant deaths for the US/Mexico border, along with a report analyzing our initial findings.

I wrote about this important new resource, and the connections between US border violence and Israel's genocide in occupied Palestine.

I have no confidence we will have free and fair elections again anytime soon.

*With the caveat that elections have not been free or fair when--between immigrants and people convicted of felonies--you have tens of millions of people formally excluded from the franchise ... but it's getting worse

Sadly NPR failed to meet the moment as authoritarianism loomed. This government will not stop until the free press is gone, but you've still not realized the stakes. If you decide to fight back then I'll consider supporting you in that fight.

There are leftist versions of Miller but they are quickly pushed out of the Democratic party since the party establishment doesn't actually support leftist ideals.

Anyone on the left who proposes innovative, aggressive, leftist policy change is immediately attacked by the Democratic establishment. The problem these people complain about is of their own making.

Study details higher COVID death risks in undocumented people

This is obscene: a 55% increase in death rate above the prepandemic level. Study details higher #COVID death risks in #undocumented people www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/stu... #immigrants #disparities #socialjustice

I’ve now read my alma mater Brown University’s agreement with the Administration, and I’m deeply troubled by numerous provisions in it, but the larger problem is that bargaining with lawless authoritarians gives them legitimacy. They aren’t settling a proper investigation, this was a shakedown. /1

‘We’re Trying to Do the Best We Can Before We Die’ The people caring for others in Gaza are hungry too.

the greatest trick the right ever pulled was convincing the left progress can only be made in slow methodical steps.

I know we can find the courage to support immigrants even when they have criminal convictions because we can see that having a criminal record only matters for some people.

Time to juke the stats, then.

ICE GOONS draw guns on humanitarian aid workers

Rodney Taylor, is a disabled man who was detained by ICE back in January & thrown in a Georgia detention facility.

He’s still there.

A double amputee, Taylor was taken into custody just two days before he was schedule to receive new prosthetic legs. 🧵

Fetterman's fondest dream is to himself be an indicted war criminal someday.

NEW: I spoke with a woman named Andrea about her experience being detained by ICE after calling the cops for help during a domestic violence incident.

She was recently postpartum, breastfeeding & put in an all-male facility. She was detained for 2.5 months.

Scorching cells How heat threatens lives in America’s prisons

Democrats are not up to the task of confirming good nominees or defeating bad ones, and it's been this way for a long time. We need people who fight, not who run home with their tail between their legs.
