need more cosmopolitan chauvinism imo. to be able to go to a world city and do this without crossing a border is something you should be proud of, it means you're a great country. To want to tear it down means you are inbred provincial hog with no greater drives than envy and fear.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

No document will protect you. All they have to do is take it from you and "lose" it; take it from you and say you never gave it to them; claim it's fake ⬇️; make a new rule that you need ANOTHER document. Citizenship is a made-up status that governments decide the rules for. No one is free until all.

Dulce Consuelo Diaz Morales was born in Maryland. She has a valid U.S. birth certificate, medical and immunization records, and sworn affidavits.

Yet, ICE claims her documents are “not authentic” and has held her in immigration detention for days.

THREAD: The FDA has made it difficult to find where medications are made. Today we're changing that with our latest tool.

With Rx Inspector, it’s possible to see your drug’s manufacturing facility and what the FDA found during its inspections.

Here's how you can use it. 1/

It happened again: The Trump administration has admitted illegally deporting a man to Guatemala despite an immigration judge's order that he was likely to be tortured there.

"The 6-year-old is part of a growing number of children arrested and detained by ICE"

God have mercy
The 6-year-old is part of a growing number of children arrested and detained by ICE, according to newly released data obtained by the Deportation Data Project through a Freedom of Information Act request. One hundred and fifty one children under the age of 18 have been arrested between January and October, with a steep increase beginning in May.

Journalist Jasper Nathaniel shares an update on Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim, the 16-y.o. American freed from Israel’s Ofer Prison after more than 9 months. Ibrahim only learned he’d be released 2 hours before, didn't know a ceasefire was in place & is still recovering from severe starvation & illness. ⬇️
Just got off a video call with Mohammed. A surreal moment. He told me he’d seen the video of me rummaging through his bedroom drawers lol. I asked if he’d had any idea about the effort to free him; he said no. He knew literally nothing about what was happening in the outside world. Didn’t know the “war” ended. He didn’t even know he was getting out until two hours before his release. He’s pretty gaunt, and his stomach is still too shrunken to eat much. Seems like he’s in a bit of shock and it’s still settling in that he’s free. Lots of smiling, though. Since getting out on Thursday, he’s only left the house twice: (1) To visit the grave of his first cousin, Sayfollah, who was beaten to death by settlers while Mohammed was in prison — something he only learned after he was released. (2) To visit the family of Walid Khalid Abdullah Ahmad, his 17-year-old friend and cellmate, who collapsed and died in front of him in prison from a combination of starvation, dehydration from untreated colitis-induced diarrhea, and untreated infectious disease. He says the next visits will be to the families of other children he befriended in prison. And yes — my mom joined the call (and cried). We’ll get together IRL soon! I have some incredible news to share. Today, after 9.5 agonizing months, Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim was released from Israel’s Ofer Prison and into his father’s arms. The Israeli military had no right to take him in the first place, and the family credits the relentless grassroots campaign that kept up the diplomatic pressure to free him. He’s in rough shape, but okay, and on his way to the hospital for treatment. Once he’s discharged, his mom, dad, brother, and sisters will have his favorite meal and a very belated 16th-birthday celebration waiting for him at home. I’ll share more details soon. Now that Mohammed is free, the family is asking all his supporters to keep fighting for the hundreds of Palestinian children still unjustly trapped in Israeli military prisons. The family requests privacy for now. Happy Thanksgiving everyone — lots to be thankful for.

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.
II. Credibility The Court next addresses the credibility of the parties’ evidence and witnesses. After reviewing all the evidence submitted to the Court and listening to the testimony elicited at the preliminary injunction hearing, during depositions, and in other court proceedings, the Court finds Defendants’ evidence simply not credible. [FN 6] Plaintiffs submitted a mountain of evidence, providing the Court with over eighty declarations, numerous videos and articles, and other evidence. Defendants did not rebut anything that Plaintiffs set forth in their declarations or testimony, even with BWC footage. [FN 6] In another case considering some of the same evidence presented to this Court, another court in this district also found that the perceptions of certain of Defendants’ declarants, such as Hott and Parra, were not reliable. See Illinois v. Trump, No. 25-cv-12174, 2025 WL 2886645, at *5 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 10, 2025) (noting a “troubling trend of Defendants’ declarants equating protests with riots and a lack of appreciation for the wide spectrum that exists between citizens who are observing, questioning, and criticizing their government, and those who are obstructing, assaulting, or doing violence”), motion to stay denied in part, 155 F.4th 929 (7th Cir. 2025).

New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.

One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.
