“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

This is what WHITE DEI looks like. Next MAGA will demand the Civil Rights Act be gutted so they can go back to "whites only" restaurants, schools, work, etc

Dean Obeidallah @deanobeidallah.bsky.social · 5h

Black unemployment rate has surged over the past four months up from 6 to 7.5%. While white unemployment is down to 3.7%. This is because Trump has a created a climate with his war on diversity that favors hiring whites only. That is 100% what MAGA wants. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/12/b...

Black Unemployment Is Surging Again. This Time Is Different.

No Kings Day is almost here.

The Trump regime believes that if it can overwhelm us with atrocities and threats, we'll surrender our rights without fighting for them.

But the people won’t bow down. We will rise. Join us at a peaceful protest on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Here’s @RepTimBurchett admitting Republicans have never had a health care crisis plan — they have only sabotaged it and found ways to make insurance more expensive and keep millions without coverage

(especially here in Tennessee where they refused to expand Medicaid)
