Relative of a family friend got swept up by ICE. The reason? He had a disagreement with his manager. Manager called ICE. ICE picked him up in front of the entire undocumented staff, as a fucking warning.

stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.

-You cannot legally deport people without due process.

-You cannot legally deport citizens.

-They are defining down deportation to break the law.

Hi! If you are raped while in an AirBnB or if you or your loved one is murdered, AirBnB will send someone to threaten you and your family, clean up the body, or pay you off to STFU to protect their image.

I’m definitely down to call the anti-DEI crusade - “segregation.” And let’s acknowledge it doesn’t stop at white supremacy. The anti-trans bathroom bans, the threats on marriage equality, and so much more fall under this umbrella too. Most refuse to see the overlap though.
This is great work.

Another way to say these businesses are “erasing progress” is that they are re-segregating. The latter more pointedly gets at what’s at stake.
Exclusive here from Bloomberg News, which asked 84 of the biggest listed US companies to share their demographics data with us. We found that Black workers are losing share, all but erasing the progress they made after the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.

For years, former Black Panthers have feared that the FBI is still keeping tabs on them decades after its notorious COINTELPRO program.

Malik Rahim had never been able to prove he was targeted. Now, government docs show he was correct.

if your words can be used against you like this then why are all the stalkers, rapists and abusers not in jail. they make threats every day against their victims and the law claims there’s not enough “evidence”. yet one statement is enough for 15 year charge??? the judicial system is a joke.
Briana Boston, the Florida woman who said “delay, deny, depose” on a call with BlueCross BlueShield after a denied claim, has been placed under house arrest.

She is still facing a charge of threatening to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism.

If you are cis ("not transgender") I need to explain this to you.

Bluesky today posted this vague thread, announcing-without-spelling-out that they're allowing a writer, net troll and anti-trans activist named Jesse Singal to stay on the platform, despite every trans user saying it makes us unsafe.
In the past month alone, over 12M people joined Bluesky, with daily active users growing 10x. We received more reports in two days than in all of last year, and have integrated new systems and quadrupled our moderation team to try and keep up. Sometimes, we have to work quickly to correct errors.
