ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

While the pigs in combat gear strut around sticking guns in people's faces, their cowardice is made plain by the courage of ordinary people. Never forget that you are surrounded by people who are brave and kind, and that you can be one of them, too.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

I think that's part of it but the other part is it's men -and in this case especially rich men - and they already don't do those tasks, so they don't see them. This is why we're getting Samsung TV's with ads and not fridges that remind us to eat the lettuce before it spoils

This is the tell that they don't want people with creative capacity. They want menials and drones that they can use extract wealth from their lives and labors, then discard before the next quarterly report.

The actual cruel burden is the point.

it’s said all the time but I think we should continue to hammer home how insane it is that we got dead-eyed bros trying to sell us robots that will free us from the supposedly cruel burden of “creative careers” instead of the actual cruel burden of “doing menial household chores”

Some kind of pathological compulsion to convince yourself that anyone who is upset about watching people being slaughtered every day for years is a hipster from Brooklyn, the stereotype from like 20 years ago.

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

Hearing the testimony of American members of the sumud flotilla and it has never been more obvious that the American government is fully prepared to treat us as ruled subjects with selective privileges and rights based on who you are, your racial/ethnic background, and political allegiance.

Good morning to sanitation workers, people whose car bumper is being held on by duct tape & hope, those balancing a coffee & a cigarette as they ride their bike, the young & unemployed, people who slept rough last night, folks clocking in to feed people, and everyone still brave enough to dream!

Here is Jamal from Gaza whose family lost everything and he is trying with all his might to rebuild their lives and help them with the crazy costs in Gaza and travel outside Gaza when the crossings open. I hope you support us. Your little support, even if it is $5
