16-year-old Arnoldo Bazan and his father were getting McDonald’s before school when immigration agents pulled them over.

They slammed his father to the ground and put the teen in a chokehold. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” he said.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember all the trans folks who have passed away due to violence.

Trans people and their stories will always have a place and be celebrated in our store.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
#AltVet storytime. It’s Veterans Day so I thought I would celebrate by talking about my favorite veteran, my grandpa. He was a WWII era Navy veteran, in a unit we would now call the Seabees, but at that point were called the Construction Battalions (CBs is where we get the Seabees moniker). 1/?

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Well this just took the air out of my lungs. All that's left now is overwhelming anger.
Impeachable.
Demolition crews began tearing down part of the White House to build Trump's long-desired ballroom — despite his pledge that construction of the addition wouldn't "interfere" with the existing building.

The addition costs $250 million. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

"I ducked down to check whether I was bleeding. As I was crouched behind the van, clearly injured and no threat to anyone, those agents took aim and shot me in the face."

This from @leighkunkel.bsky.social was incredibly powerful to hear at the #JournalismIsNotACrime rally. Please read it.

Should this man be in any law enforcement position?

Now ask this: do you believe this man will face any consequences for this violent assault on an unarmed, emotionally distressed woman?

We can call in complaints to the DHS misconduct hotline: 1-800-323-8603
