George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

@timmiller.bsky.social talked to a veteran who ICE wrongly detained and brutalized

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

We started a movement during the first term called BLM. And y’all villainized our methods. Said we went too far. Even though it was proven the violence was outside actors.

So, since you got your degree. And you think you know everything. LEAD!

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

Back in '04 I spent the summer in NYC and my sister got a WHY? shirt from a BET show taping she went to and gave it to me. Every time I wore that shirt for the rest of the year at least one white person would ask me "Why WHAT?" & it got tiring quick.

Yesterday, ICE was met with a fierce resistance from the neighbors of the Chicago SW side. They were ousted from the streets without taking anyone.
