Border Patrol agents assembled outside a Los Angeles museum where Gov. Gavin Newsom was holding a rally and news conference on congressional redistricting. Local elected officials expressed outrage that the agents decided to stand there in a brazen show of force. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/u...

CW: Sexual assault

In multiple states, men have impersonated ICE agents to kidnap and assault women.

This is one of many reasons we shouldn't have a masked, unaccountable secret police force roaming the streets. Our elected officials can and must act now: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po...

Rethinking the Luddites in the Age of A.I. Brian Merchant’s new book, “Blood in the Machine,” argues that Luddism stood not against technology per se but for the rights of workers in the face of automation.

Today, the word “Luddite” is used as an insult to anyone resistant to technological innovation. But a recent book argues that Luddism stood not against technology per se but for the rights of workers in the face of automation.

Mass Deportations Are Worsening the Caregiving Crisis The loss of staff in the direct care industry threatens the lives of the elderly and people with disabilities.

We hear a lot about immigration-heavy industries like agriculture & construction. @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social writes about caregiving, one of the fastest-growing industries in the nation, where immigrants are at least 1/3 of the workforce & mass deportation might lead to a crisis of accessing care.

Absolutely! I was chatting with some Indigenous youth about this recently. They were sharing about various hardships being experienced. I explained part of the void they were feeling was the loss of community replaced by rugged individualism. Things clicked in a big way for them after that.

😂😂😂 omg I had a dream a couple nights ago of Lion getting centipedes lol

Whew been telling people this shit for the last several years .. the hyper individualism is the silent killer

Trump's masked agents aren't keeping us safe-they're just terrorizing immigrant communities. PROPORTION OF IMMIGRANTS TAKEN BY ICE, BY CRIMINAL RECORD 7% violent convictions 28% no violent convictions 65% no convictions ICE isn't going after criminals. It's breaking up families.

Why it matters: America's most elite institutions have largely succumbed to the Trump administration's cultural crackdown, opting to pay up — often to the tune of tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars — rather than fight back.

Wow so sad to see that Canada's Bill C5 passed and that Carney could harm Indigenous peoples this way. Also sad to see how some Natives can't see the threat and others have seen it too late. www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/business/maj...

As ICE raids escalate and Trump doubles down on authoritarian tactics, this is the critical moment to build the opposition we need to fight back. We want to train you (and a million Americans) on the tools to lead a local resistance movement against Trump’s regime: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...
