ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.

It’s time—it was time, years and years ago—to stop quoting the police for their account of events, esp those involving them, immediately after said event.

“ICE officers shot a man. ICE provided a comment, but will refrain from reporting it until we have more information and confirmation.”

⁨Millions of American families will pay double for their insurance when they sign up for their new plans this fall.

Donald Trump is content to do nothing about it.

Democrats are fighting to end this Republican health care crisis.⁩

Disgraceful!

"They imagine that doing something unpleasant is the same as doing something effective." This this this.

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

How many of these white out games was Sandusky on the sidelines? The omissions here are killing me #GoDucks

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

If they had a right-wing, “tough-on-crime” coded mayor there would be endless national profiles about him and how he finally brought sanity back to Chicago.

A lot of people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel shows why it's important for businesses and the public to understand that two-thirds of Americans are not Trump voters

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel has been swift, and severe. The whole episode underscores something I've been blogging about for a while: A lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is

Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did Since Texas banned abortion, no one has studied the statewide effects on pregnant women experiencing complications. Here’s how we sifted through data on millions of pregnancy hospitalizations and anal...

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban.

Super interesting: in recent years majority of authoritarian episodes return to democracy through democratic mobilization, average of 8-10 years to get back to where they started. It will be hard and might take a long time, but we will win.

Still feels weird to be playing the Civil War game when the sun is out and the weather is nice. Just so used to the cold, rain, and fog of the late November game. I guess I'll get used to this new iteration eventually.

Salute to the Valkyries, for making history, for selling out every home game, for overcoming a boatload of injuries, and getting the best out of every player. That’s belief. That’s culture. It’s a foundation that’s only going to get better.

Incredible achievement that the one price that the Trump administration has brought down notably is "cocaine."

Obviously I do not endorse the first one but seriously, fuck ICE, and ilu Hannah

That interception ended up moving the Ducks 40 yards downfield 😂 #GoDucks

This new attack brief on the Wren Collective is unhinged tin-foil hat stuff. I know Jessica Brand, both from working in the same movement and bc she's my neighbor, living just a few blocks away from me. I *wish* she wielded the sort of power they pretend she does. But alas, she does not.

“The government sometimes makes brief, investigative stops to check the immigration status of those who gather in locations where people are hired for day jobs such as construction, landscaping, agriculture or car washes…and who do not speak much if any English.”

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional

ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool
