Six years ago today, 26-year-old Breonna Taylor was shot six times and killed by police officers who forced entry into her Louisville, KY apartment. Her death sparked nationwide outrage and calls for an end to police brutality and gun violence against Black people. #SayHerName #BlackLivesMatter
Breonna Taylor should be alive today. Six years later, her tragic death is still a reminder that racism takes lives.
No-knock warrants should be banned.
We must pass the Justice for Breonna Taylor Act to help prevent tragedies like this from ever happening again.

What a world
Brighton HS student kidnapped, driven to NY to try to blackmail father into surrendering...
New: @vanhollen.senate.gov is leading 46 Senators in demanding answers over the strike that killed 100+ Iranian children in Minab.
FCNL strongly endorses this call for full accountability and transparency. And we call for an immediate end to this war to stop more tragic and needless loss of life.
Just out @propublica.org: How did the Pentagon make the horrible mistake that left more than 150 school children dead? Perhaps because it cancelled an effort to limit such harm in favor of Hegseth’s lust for “lethality.”

If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.
GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.
There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.
The judge describes a string of discriminatory, retaliatory and unrebutted abuses by DHS and ICE against a man who was granted accces to the country and had permission to work -- then was arrested for ... seeming Latino? storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
'UNIMAGINABLE CRUELTY': Judge Gary Brown, a Trump appointeee from NY, thrashes DHS' treatment of a man who came to the US at 9 as an abuse/neglect victim, has no criminal record and became a college grad.
"The laws of decency condemn such villainy." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
This is monstrous.
this one fucked me up so much. guy turns his life around after a drug conviction, becomes a happy, beloved, pet rescuing houseboat dad who undersells his mechanic services so poor folks can afford them. ICE grabs him one day out of the hospital for heart problems which then kill him. horrifying
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

With this salvo, Kansas has escalated what will be a federal effort to establish a Jim Crow system of lawfully enforced second-class citizenship aimed at trans American
It was already the case but now it's inarguable; anyone who doesn't fully support trans people is an enemy of all civil rights.
NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.

The fact that there’s a secret network of doulas going around Minneapolis to help with home births for parents afraid of ICE should be front-page news.
These children, born in secrecy, are American citizens.
To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.
It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...
Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF
They found him. He died.
Another murder by our immigration goon squads
Donald Trump killed two of my constituents. He is a liar and should be ashamed of himself.
Here is @aoc.bsky.social thankfully telling everyone exactly what to do to stop a concentration camp from being built where you live.
Please take it to heart and take action.
“ICE plans to activate all facilities by November 30, 2026, ensuring the timely expansion of detention capacity,” the document says.

The warehouse concentration camps will be open right after the midterms. Democrats can’t give this agency another dime
