Monstrous

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Pope Leo’s top U.S. ally — Cardinal Joseph Tobin — calls on Congress to defund ICE.

Happening right now. In America.

I will just add that in this video, the agent who seemed to take a gun from Pretti's waist just before the first shot did not react as if it was an accidental discharge from the gun in his right hand. Instead he looks left, at another agent who had drawn his weapon www.facebook.com/100007671137...

Also writing crappy and sloppy pieces about disability and accommodation in higher education that just makes stigma and exclusion more likel

Boycott Trump's World Cup: Sign the petition to move the games now! Trump’s threats mean the USA shouldn't host. Let's ask the FA to move the games to Canada & Mexico.

Petition calling on England and Scotland to boycott the World Cup, or for all matches to be moved to Mexico and Canada.

Monstrous acts and crimes are being committed right now, in our names, with our tax dollars:
-Renee Good - murdered by an armed agent of the state for protesting
-Alex Pretti - murdered by an armed agent of the state for protesting
-Liam Ramos (5) - used as bait to lure his father out of the house

Boycott the World Cup

Not a foot should be set in that country until the madness stops

A witness to Alex Pretti's murder: "I don't feel like I can go home because I heard agents were looking for me. I don't know what the agents will do when they find me."

Right now. In America.

There is nothing subtle or complicated or hard to understand about what is happening.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

Migrants at Ice jail in Miami made to kneel to eat ‘like dogs’, report alleges Incident in which migrants were shackled with hands tied one of succession of alleged abuses at jails in Florida

This is a truly heinous & sickening way to treat human beings.

By the way, the majority of immigrants being detained have ZERO criminal record.

Republicans hold the majority. It's past time they join Democrats in calling for real oversight of these human rights violations.

UTAH… this is not a game…

July 4th is a day to celebrate.

Instead we are all stunned by the loss of food for the poor, and Health Care for 16 Million Americans.

To give a tax cut to Billionaires.

I'm aghast. We all are.

Go and protest today. Then take a break, recharge your faith in humanity.

Then come back on Fire!

Just a reminder of who Thom Tillis is:

In 2013, as N.C. House Speaker, he passed a massive voter suppression law that was struck down because it targeted Black voters "with almost surgical precision.”

In the Senate he voted against the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Right Act.

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

Wow — how could anyone ever imagine that the GOP wouldn’t be a good faith actor on the filibuster!?

The same people who went apoplectic when asked to wear a mask to *protect people* in a pandemic eagerly wear one to *kidnap people* in Gestapo cosplay.

Salt Lake City and Boise Adopt Official Pride Flags in Response to State Laws

Salt Lake City, Utah, and Boise, Idaho, adopted official Pride flags on Tuesday in response to state laws barring the display of any nonofficial flags at schools and government buildings.

BREAKING: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez has been released. This is the moment he reunited with his mom.

If we still had a White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, they’d be in Tallahassee helping the community access federal resources for survivors, families, & students. Then they’d take what was learned to help prevent it from ever happening again.

Trump killed it on day 2.

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

some of the stuff like greenland people can say they didn’t vote for. but they very much voted for tariffs and mass deportations. i have a bottomless well of contempt for people who chose this

Respondents emphasize that Abrego Garcia was improperly removed to El Sal- vador because, although he could be removed anywhere else in the world under a 2019 order of removal, that order granted statutory withholding of removal to El Sal- vador alone. But, while the United States concedes that removal to El Salvador was an administrative error, see App., infra, 60a, that does not license district courts to seize control over foreign relations, treat the Executive Branch as a subordinate dip- lomat, and demand that the United States let a member of a foreign terrorist organ- ization into America tonight. For starters, because MS-13 members such as Abrego Garcia have since been designated members of a foreign terrorist organization, they are no longer eligible for withholding of removal under 8 U.S.C. 1231(b)(3)(B). Fur- ther, the United States has ensured that aliens removed to CECOT in El Salvador will not be tortured, and it would not have removed any alien to El Salvador for such detention if doing so would violate its obligations under the Convention Against Tor- ture. Moreover, respondents treat the relief here as “routine,” Resp. C.A. Stay Opp. 1, but that relief goes far beyond merely facilitating an alien’s return, which is what courts have ordered in other cases. This order—and its demand to accomplish sensitive foreign negotiations post-haste, and effectuate Abrego Garcia’s return to- night—is unprecedented and indefensible.

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...
