How ICE Raids Are Making It Easier for Civilian Men to Assault Immigrant Women "This phenomenon is only possible because of the outsized power that state agents have always had to abuse and control women and victims' bodies," argues Kylie Cheung.

Recent reporting alleges that civilian men are impersonating ICE agents to kidnap and sexually assault immigrant women, with cases in North Carolina and New York.

Unmasking ICE agents is important, but it’s a Band-Aid on a broader, systemic crisis. Read @kylietcheung.bsky.social's full Op-Ed ⤵️

This is what it looks like when ICE violates our First Amendment rights.

it's either he died or Israel is going to do something really fucking stupid

Just finished reading this. A quick read, but still depressing because many of the points Snyder makes are ones we need to be doing now.

This is amazing. Trans Lifeline provides much needed crisis intervention and community support to the trans community.

ICE Wants to Know If You’re Posting Negative Things About It Online ICE wants to hire contractors to monitor social media for threats. Those who criticize the agency could be pulled into the dragnet.

"Citing an increase in threats to ICE agents and leadership, the agency is soliciting pitches from private companies to monitor threats across the internet — with a special focus on social media. People who simply criticize ICE online could pulled into the dragnet."

Anyone who seeks health care in New York should be able to receive it.

Our state laws are clear that no one can be discriminated against based on sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

Sang Shin absolutely nails the crux of the issue of the USA being the aggressor in a trade war:

Just like DeepSeek your opponent is going to find ways to circumvent your brute force and become more nimble, more resourceful, and eventually more effective than you.

It's an outright losing strategy.

Justice Department orders FBI purge, review of staff who touched Trump cases Leaders appointed by the Trump administration are identifying potentially hundreds of FBI agents for possible termination, said people familiar with the plan.

Last night, @maddow argued this is much worse than the Saturday Night Massacre: a complete dismantling of American justice and policing.
The biggest story of our lifetimes--a totalitarian takeover--is underplayed.

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

They know that the executive orders, particularly around trans health care, will be challenged. The point is to shock and awe. The point is to get as many organizations, businesses, and people to pre-comply as they can.

The State Department is blocking new passports for trans Americans The ACLU has warned that transgender people risk losing access to their passport and supporting documents if they apply to update their gender marker.

Ash Orr is without his passport, without his birth certificate and without his marriage license. He doesn't know if or when he'll get them back.

The State Dept. is holding his documents as it freezes all applications from Americans seeking to update their passports with a new gender marker.

ATLANTA (AP) — US public health officials have been told to stop working with the World Health Organization, effective immediately.
