I’m 15 years old and have a disability. Social media has been a lifeline – why is the government kicking me off? | Ezra Sholl As I come to terms with life as a quadriplegic, Instagram and TikTok are a reminder I’m not alone

A whole lot of not thinking things through with this policy.

Pretty much assumes everyone is a middle-upper class white, straight teenager with no issues living in a city

Pregnant immigrants held for months in detention despite rules against it With the immigration crackdown, more pregnant women are being detained. The ACLU alleges a woman was shackled while miscarrying and others were denied prenatal care.

The stories of pregnant women in ICE detention — one shackled while miscarrying, another placed in solitary confinement with a high-risk pregnancy — are not one offs.

They're a clear pattern of neglect where ICE ignores its own rules. This cruelty must end.

It’s important to remember there are two scandals here:

1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes.

2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.

Just a proud, unrepentant racist.

What Senator Cotton says here would be a bad defense for the Germans convicted in WWI and WWII war crimes trials -- including for firing on shipwrecked in fully operational lifeboats.

This line of response hurts the US and US servicemembers. It will cause long-term damage unless we get this right.

In Elgin, ICE agents have been in a standoff with the community as they’re trying to arrest a man. Here’s an altercation between the feds and residents ending with arrest and pepper spray. Video from Sophia Peterson

It’s truly hard to reconcile a lifetime of believing that the purpose of government in the United States is to help citizens with the hatred ICE and other federal agencies have displayed for Americans in Chicago, LA, DC and other US cities

Every paper in America should have a 6 inch headline:
Sitting Member of Congress, Adelita Grivalja, Attacked by Trump's ICE with Chemical Weapons.

The Congresswoman was hit by gas pellet munitions when coming upon an ICE abduction at a restaurant she frequents in her community.

Release the video.

Release the list.

“The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda.

It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.”

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

The presidential pardon system has reached a breaking point, which is why I have joined Reps. Cohen, Lieu, and H. Johnson in proposing a Constitutional amendment that finally puts guardrails on abuse.

This will be remembered as the most pathetic moment in American history. What a needy fool.

Cronulla riots 20 years on: have attitudes changed since that hot December day when racial tensions exploded? Some say Australia still has not tackled racism, and fear social media is a more powerful tool than text messages and talkback radio that stirred up rioters in 2005

Reddit post from Inside-Specialist-55 in r/povertyfinance: "I have always went here when things were bad. This year our family could not afford anything nice for christmas dinner so we turned to a local church food bank. I have never seen the line this long at this food bank, This is 4x the size of every previous year. We have only been to this one 4 times since 2017 but this year the line wraps around the building a second time to the left behind those rows of cars. Everyone is freezing and an older lady in line had to be taken inside because she looked like she was about to pass out from being too cold and shivering. If this is a sign that America isnt doing well IDK what is. I am in a small town in Kentucky with a population of less than 4,800 people. Literally 10% or more of the county residents are here. This is insane."

Admiral told lawmakers everyone on alleged drug boat was on a list of military targets Adm. Frank Bradley said U.S. intelligence had identified the 11 people on the boat and determined the military was authorized to kill them as part of Trump’s campaign against alleged drug-smuggling ve...

"Bradley told lawmakers that the orders he received from Hegseth were to kill the individuals on the approved target list, which included everyone on the boat, then destroy the drugs and sink the boat, those sources said."

They were civilians.

Even if there was an armed conflict (there’s not) there is no indication these people would have been lawful targets.

No indication they were members of an organized armed group.

No indication they were directly participating in hostilities.

Targeting civilians is a war crime.

(Not a war.)

Trump has issued over 2,000 pardons and commutations this year, letting a string of drug dealers, corrupt politicians, and MAGA-friendly businessmen off the hook in a gross abuse of the Constitution.

The boat wasn’t headed to the U.S., which we would have learned with a little due process instead of murder. www.cnn.com/2025/12/05/p...
