One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys.

Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman.

There is no justification for this. None.

If the Trump administration cared about addressing crime, it would tell ICE agents to stop kidnapping and torturing people. But it's encouraging and rewarding them for doing so because it is a criminal enterprise. www.masslive.com/news/2025/08...
ICE released this Mass. mom with no phone, 30 miles from home in the rain after detainment for a sealed marijuana conviction
Federal authorities refused to tell the Canton woman's husband or lawyer on what grounds she was being detained until shortly before her release.

At some point Trump is going to call for the removal from congress of dozens of Democrats, all of them accused of mortgage fraud, and Corporate Media will obsess over details of the accusations rather than just calling it a partisan purge and fascist consolidation of power. Stop taking the bait.

When I see the glee on psychopathic MAGAT faces when they get to open an actual concentration camp called Alligator Alcatraz…

I cannot explain the rage that goes from my head, down to my toes.

Abhorrent from its very conception.

What say you?! 😎✨

today I took the kayak out
and drifted in still waters
past opening pond lilies
the curiosity of frogs
peeping above the surface
emerging insects
a great gulleted bird
spanned the sky above
pine and maple groves

On Sunday, my friend, Jonathan Joss was murdered and it took me a minute to find the words...

Like so many of our lives, Jonathan's existed at the powerful intersections of Indigeneity, queerness, visibility, and vulnerability. He was fierce, funny, flawed, and real in every way that mattered.

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics.

This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times

Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:
4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care
In 2023, a Mexican girl, 4, was allowed U.S. entry for lifesaving medical care. She and her parents, who live in Bakersfield, have been told they must leave.

how on earth did you learn
this sense of unworthiness
what authority granted such certainty
that it crept into your bones
and might I ask their leave
to playfully sprinkle laughter
