this cannot be reformed

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

all these people sucking Pritzker off are clearly not paying attention to the people under his command.

Again today, local police outside Broadview just aggressively arrested more protesters. Tough to tell exactly how many, but looks like 3-4 people were just detained.

Mike’s not wrong. This is like the column you’d get if someone said “Ken, write a strong opinion on economics.”

This is an embarrassingly bad article and @thenation.com should feel bad for publishing it. If you're going to publish something about Section 230, could you maybe not misrepresent how it works?

With Larry Ellison in control of TikTok, we now have right-wingers or looney far-right wingers in control of most of the major social media platforms.

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

The most parsimonious explanation is that the people running our government like measles and would like to see more people suffer and die from measles

Dave Levitan @davelevitan.bsky.social · 2h

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

Imagine these being your values: I think disabled children have it too easy, they should have less stuff. That's the global right atm, those are the people we're dealing with.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Reporters: stop using the deferential term "detaining" when talking about ICE goons' abduction of innocent people from US streets. You proper term would indeed by "abduction", but if you want to pretend neutrality you could use "capture", which at least says nothing about the captors' motives.

the only AI-generated protest video that's made its way to my feed (albeit by way of someone debunking it), depicting a journalist being arrested, is coming immediately after ICE broke a court order by arresting a journalist (with viral footage). former may obscure the latter, deliberately or not

Sophie Sherry @sophiesherry.bsky.social · 1d

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.

if someone posts fake shit and then refuses to delete it after it's gone viral and everyone is telling them "hey this is fake". you should just block them.

Make no mistake, when the state imprisons a trans woman in a men's prison, it intentionally procures her for the purpose of having her raped. The statistics are extremely clear-cut and consistent in every jurisdiction where they have been collected. There is no way around them
