What absolutely tortured logic

Is the trim at the side of the skirt around an opening to access a pocket?

I think he's trying to say that they're nowhere near a border, so why are they there if their mission is "border security". Wouldn't be my talking point, but I'm guessing that's what he means.

So, it's worth remembering *a lot* of just outright false bs about radicals spreads during times like this.

Case in point: I have seen far, far more condemnations of leftists and anarchists supposedly discouraging people from the rallies yesterday than I have any radicals actually doing so...

‘Like a jail cell’: Family of six detained at Washington state border facility for more than three weeks A pregnant mother-of-four is raising concerns about their detention in a single room for 24 days.

The US citizen baby in this family was held for 24 days www.opb.org/article/2025...

Yeah, that is a tear gas canister being fired toward the retreating couple holding the baby

Greta Thunberg speaks to the press after being released from illegal detainment in Israel: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.”

This was so good, thank you. 🩷 Is there going to be an audiobook for Read This When Things Fall Apart?

Breaking news: ICE stops family at gunpoint—smash car window on top of newborn baby.

"I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother.

“I covered my baby with my body—I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨

She Sent Money to Family in Gaza. ICE Claimed It’s Evidence She Supports Hamas. To keep her in ICE detention in Texas, the Trump administration pointed to Leqaa Kordia’s remittances to family in Palestine.

Did you know ICE is holding a disabled advocate and whistleblower who helped shut down one of their detention centres?

Alma Bowman is a 58 year old woman from Georgia who spent 30 months in ICE custody during the first Trump regime.

When released she became a fearless advocate for detainees 🧵

Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

Disabled people are particularly vulnerable to abuse under fascism.

ICE has been neglecting the medical needs of detainees.

One disabled immigrant, Rodney Taylor, needs our help.

He's a double amputee who's been in the country since he was two years old. He's being held in solitary:

Trans health care "skeptics" lost a key ally—now they're having a meltdown The godfather of evidence-based medicine on rejecting anti-trans "misuse" of his work.

For years, medical professionals and transgender advocates have been saying the "Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine" was not following the principles of evidenced-based medicine.

Now the "godfather" of evidence-based medicine is leveraging the same claim against them. (1/)

Oh no my kids and I love that account! They did a top 5 protest dogs video and included protests for Palestine so I had been feeling good about them. Seems like a lot of dogs they share have non-generic names. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Trump's Big Autism Announcement and What It Means for the Disability Community The MAHA team came out swinging today against vaccines, Tylenol and more. Their big autism announcement was riddled with eugenicist language designed to blame and punish people for their disabilities.

"These racist, misogynistic men do not have the right to tell us that we are ‘less than’... to tell us our lives are untenable when most of us feel differently... to act as though being born with a disability is a fate worse than death. It’s not."

Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy and Children’s Risk of Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Disability This nationwide cohort study with sibling control analysis examines the association of acetaminophen use during pregnancy with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability.

Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in sibling control analyses. This suggests that associations observed in other models may have been attributable to confounding.

hi, medical toxicologist that knows a lot about Tylenol here👋 Claiming that tylenol use in pregnancy causes autism is fearmongering

here's what you need to know 🧵

The “answer to autism” is to love, respect, appreciate and fight for the safety and well-being of your autistic family members, friends and colleagues.

Solitary confinement is inhumane and part of a larger pattern of systemic abuse against people in ICE detention — this torturous practice must end.

Do you know where it went from Yakima?

Wow, so many shapes and colors going on there! The sleeves and trim seem to evoke an earlier era, like 1870s. I love the arts & crafts buttons.

It was this little guy’s 10th birthday, same age as my son, when ICE agents abducted his parents. Listen to them pressure and harass his 19-year-old sister, who is brilliantly holding her line in not answering them while trying to comfort her little brother. Unconscionable.

Everyone should be antifascist.

‘The dungeon’ at Louisiana’s notorious prison reopens as Ice detention center Critics condemn reopening of ‘Camp J’ unit at Angola in service of Trump’s nationwide immigration crackdown, noting its history of brutality and violence

Soooo is abolition starting to sound like the only viable solution to this yet or??? Idk how many more object lessons in how every cage to cage a person is a bad cage that's used for fascism we can really handle here folks
