I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food.

I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence.

This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less.

Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

By the numbers, it absolutely is bsky.app/profile/carl...

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago.

NEW: ICE is planning to hire a team of nearly 30 people to surveil social media 24/7, build dossiers on people, and flag them for arrest and deportation. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-so...

Release the jobs report. And while you’re at it, release the Epstein files.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

That’s why I need to ask everyone in Illinois for a favor.

Contact your elected officials TODAY and tell them to stand with the people — not ICE — for a press conference demanding transparency + legality this Friday at 1930 Beach Street, 9AM.

As someone currently on probation at Princeton, what also stands out here is the sham faculty governance on display:

Faculty panel reviews all the evidence n decides there is no grounds for suspension.

Admin overrules their decision n Provost Kavita Bala calls for significant disciplinary action.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

After spending around a year in ICE detention, Laura, a Nigerian mother of two, was told by her then-lawyer that she would be released and able to see her kids.

But under Trump, that never happened.

Just so I'm clear:

TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.

TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.

Free speech, everyone.

Confused by patchwork COVID vaccine guidelines across states? @sciam.bsky.social has a map with the latest info from the National Alliance of State Pharmacy Associations. We'll keep tracking updates. 📊 @unamandita.bsky.social ✏️ @jaimieseaton.bsky.social. www.scientificamerican.com/article/covi...

former CDC official Dr. Houry: "I first learned that the secretary had changed our CDC covid vaccine guidance on an X social media post. CDC scientists have still not seen the scientific data or justification for this change. That is not gold standard science."

Not many things more disheartening than realizing you can advocate for rounding up and killing vulnerable minorities and get treated like Mr. Rogers when you die, but spend your life insisting people have food, shelter, and healthcare, and every corner of society will call you a terrorist

"You are being musically mean to me and it's hurting my feelings so I am going to call the police department that we are supposed to be supporting to report a feels violation."

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

We are now in the midst of the third legislative wave, in which lawmakers have struck back at pro-Palestine encampments and rallies.

Republicans in Congress have introduced new bills that would block financial aid, student loan forgiveness, and even facilitate the deportation of student protesters.

You could literally just toss meth in any (open) fire, or destroy it even more easily without using fire at all, but for some reason the FBI used an animal carcass incinerator in a negatively pressurized animal shelter to smoke 2 pounds of meth with all the staff and animals in the building
