just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday
Eyewitness account: Good morning, My name is Brandon Siguenza, and l am a US citizen from Minneapolis. Yesterday, while doing legal observation, ICE stopped their cars to harass my friend and me. They sprayed pepper spray into the vent of our vehicle. We held our hands in the air and told them we were not obstructing, that the car was in park and they were free to drive forward and away. There was no active immigration raid. They returned to their cars, and drove forward a bit, then decided to stop again. They surrounded us, smashed the windows of our car, opened the doors (they were unlocked), ripped my friend and I out of the car and arrested us on charges of obstruction. I was put in an unmarked SUV, separated from my friend. As I was put in the back seat an ICE agent tore the whistle off my neck and said "I'll be taking this, I might need it later." My phone was knocked out of my hand while being arrested. As we drove away I asked the driver and the passenger if they wouldn't mind buckling my seatbelt, as they were driving erratically. I was ignored. I asked them if I could have the handcuffs loosened, as I was losing circulation, and was told no. At one point the passenger realized his own driver's license was in the backseat next to mine, and tried to surreptitiously grab it without me seeing it. We were taken to the Whipple federal building, where I saw dozens of brown people being processed in an unheated garage. I was frisked, told of my charges, and saw buses and vans being prepped. I later learned that these were being filled with detainees and driven to the airport for deportation. As we were led in, I noticed that the building was very busy. I got the impression that one of the 2 agents bringing me around was being trained. At multiple points throughout my stay, government agents were unable to open doors, not sure where they were meant to be going, and overall confused and overwhelmed. They couldn't figure out how to use the building phones, or complai…

Dear Democratic Leaders,

If you won’t stand up for trans people and their rights, you’re tellling me you won’t stand up for *anyone* or *any rights* the second they come under attack.

You’re telling me you don’t stand for anything at all.

Also, they’re *people*.

Grow a spine or get out the way.

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

Digital art Illustration of two women in a tender embrace in front of a arched window. Both women are Palestinian and wearing elaborately decorated traditional thobes. The woman to the left has a deeper skin tone and a tender smile. Her braided black hair is decorated with silver ornaments towards the bottom. The woman to the right is wearing a heavy coin headdress that has chains leading down to her waist. Her face has subtle tattoos that match those on her hand. In the arched window behind them there are palm trees in the distance and foliage that coveres the bottom of the window.

I have completely deleted my Duolingo. I was informed by one of my kids that the company has removed most of its employees and 70% of the company is run by AI.

I urge everyone to delete their app.

Even if Duolingo is helping you as it once did me, deleting your account is the only correct move right now. The company posted record profits, but capitalist greed means they're killing jobs, lowering quality, and will be creating an increasingly inferior experience for increasingly higher prices.

Megathread of pro-trans petitions on Parliament’s petition website. If Labour suddenly gets hit with debates for a bunch of pro-trans petitions, maybe they’ll realise this issue isn’t going away and they’ve fucked up.

I’ll add more as I find them.

I finally remembered why I got so burntout working at mum’s place and had to quit during a trip with her: she gives me multiple tasks to do at different and unexpected times, expect me to complete them all in the same day, somehow expect me to make them perfect, and gets hysteric when I don’t.

Heads up! The EHRC are rewriting the Statutory Code of Practice to the Equality Act in a way that seriously waters down protections for 🏳️‍⚧️ folk.
Below is a 🧵 of the most egregious examples I’ve found.
Please help fight this by responding to the EHRC consultation—full details at the end of thread.
1/
Chapter 4 This chapter no longer includes any worked examples of direct discrimination against a trans person. Gender reassignment is the only one of the eight protected characteristic covered by this draft Code not to be given a worked example in Chapter 4. Please include at least one example of direct discrimination against a trans person in Chapter 4 of any updated Code of Practice. Chapter 5 There are no worked examples in this section showing indirect discrimination towards a trans person. Taken together, this means that in this draft Code of Practice, there are no worked examples involving trans people for: direct discrimination (Chapter 4), indirect discrimination (Chapter 5), harassment (Chapter 8), victimisation (Chapter 9), positive action (Chapter 10), services and public functions (Chapter 11), or associations (Chapter 12). Please include examples involving trans people in at least some of these chapters.
