ICE detained Katie, a British woman in the final stages of her green card process, while she was holding her 6 month old son.

She’s married to an American and was following the process, yet at her last immigration meeting they grabbed her.

She’s been detained ever since:

I stand with Sen. Mark Kelly.

To all active and retired US Military members: Defy illegal orders. Defy Unconstitutional orders. When you swore an oath, you were not reciting a poem – you were making a commitment.

DOGE workers are scrambling in fear of prosecution now that Elon Musk has abandoned them. The dipshits like most of MAGA believed their dear billionaires were going to protect them and share the wealth.

Remember the outrageous “podcasting patent” EFF defeated? Under the USPTO's proposed new rules, that challenge probably never would’ve been allowed.
The Patent Office Is About To Make Bad Patents Untouchable
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has proposed new rules that would effectively end the public’s ability to challenge improperly granted patents at the Patent Office itself. We need EFF sup...

Tyson is one of just a few companies that controls the entire meat market.

Just last month, it paid $85M to settle charges it illegally conspired with other meatpackers to raise pork prices.

Corporate monopolies are great for executives and a raw deal for everyone else.
Tyson CEO Donnie King made $22.7 million last year.

The week before Thanksgiving, he told 3,200 workers in Lexington, Nebraska that they're losing their jobs.

#tdih 1947 Congress held “Hollywood 10” in contempt for refusal to testify before House Un-American Activities Comm. (HUAC).

Next day, Motion Picture Association fired “Hollywood 10.”

Censorship led to more racism, sexism, & militarism in popular media. ⬇️🧵

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.

Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.

Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

Aa handful of complicit sycophants does not count as "many great legal scholars." Also, they urged people to disobey illegal orders, which is part of their training and required by law.

1/ THREAD: This year ICE has sent a record 600 immigrant kids into federal shelters, more than in the previous four years combined. Data suggests some are being separated from their families.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.

The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.

It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.

Textbook corporate greed.
