I do not condone, accept, or support the US government’s horrific treatment of its citizens, those immigrants and visitors legally here, asylum seekers, and others who have built lives and homes here. These crimes against humanity must stop. This is wrong.

“…he presented his Texas ID, Social Security card and a wallet-sized birth certificate. The agents refused to believe he was a citizen and took him into custody. “I told them we had rights and asked to make a phone call. But they told us, 'You don't have rights to anything'," Galicia told the paper”

Brave woman. Gratitude for her knowing her rights and standing up to protect the worker from the kidnappers.

Pope Leo at Jubilee Mass: “Let us take care to avoid any exploitation of the faith that could lead to labelling those who are different — often the poor — as enemies, ‘lepers’ to be avoided and rejected.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 23h

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

“I don’t know if we’ve ever seen a major media organization do such an about-face this fast. This is the paper of Watergate, multiple Pulitzers, the Access Hollywood tape—the thorn in Trump’s side—now completely flipped.” -- @karenattiah.bsky.social

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Today we are taking politics out of Californian’s utility bills and putting an end to the use of ratepayer funds for the political and promotional benefit of IOUs. (1/2)

This project would put people and wildlife at risk—while doing nothing to protect our climate.

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

The best resistance to Trump’s bullying of Universities is standing united & firm against it. here’s an idea: it is college application time. High Schooler can send postcards to every college to say they aren’t applying there if the institution signs Trump’s compact. Flood the Presidents’ offices!

It’s wild how words change depending on who’s affected.

When drugs hit Black communities, it was a “crack epidemic.”

When drugs hit white communities, it became a “health crisis.”

That’s what we call a dog whistle. The language changes when the skin color does.
