I need folks to understand this. The idea that local police forces will intervene at scale against ICE is a utopian fantasy totally disconnected from how policing has always worked
Police departments across the US are quietly leveraging school district security cameras to assist Donald Trump’s mass immigration enforcement campaign, an investigation by @the74.bsky.social reveals.

This comes two weeks after the Council of Europe banned conversion therapy.
The right wing and activist press like the nyt have worked hard to promote the false narrative that transphobic policies are sweeping Europe. They were pushing a lie. Europe speaks for itself

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
Our latest.

European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women"
The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

I see that we are entering into the french protest phase of things.
KMBC: "A woman tried to set a fire at a South Kansas City warehouse that had been rumored as a possible ICE detention center. Earlier today, the company that owns the property confirmed it is no longer moving forward with a sale to the U.S. government."

One of the best parts of paying off my student loans was the feeling that if I ever need to look for a new job, I won't feel constrained to only looking in libraries and other "relevant" fields.
(I know that's an imaginary constraint but I would have had to process those feels, and now I don't)

This company is so uniquely toxic and awful.
Meta's plan for launching glasses that people can use to secretly identify strangers on the street is to do it "during a dynamic political environment" when people who care about why that's bad are "focused on other concerns."

ICE “left” Chicago in November, but they’ve disappeared three people from my community in two days this week.
Don’t believe the hype about them, leaving Minnesota, either.

*they're still not provided as widely as they should be in public schools but this would just make it worse
When you see slates of absurd bills, purposefully intended to harm, shame, and damage young people and educators in the public school world, it's about vouchers. It's about stealing money from public institutions and giving it to rich people for private, unregulated schools.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

ProPublica is publishing the letters of children incarcerated inside ICE facilities.
If you are from another country, do not come here. Not even to visit. Some of these children have been inside almost a year and only came here for family vacation.
