🧵ICE cut off her wedding ring.

Sue Tincher is a 55-year-old US citizen, a grandmother, 5’4’, and white.

She walked to her neighbor’s house after getting alerts that ICE was nearby.

She stood across the street and asked an officer if they were ICE. They told her to “get back.” She didn’t move.

my kid asked if we dial 9-1-1 in an emergency because of 9/11 -- like, is 9-1-1 a 9/11 homage? -- and now i have to go back to bed because what do you mean in her mind the advent of literal phone calls and 9/11 are both ancient history.

It wasn't all about walking. To sustain the yearlong boycott, they built a massive organized carpool system with 40 pickup stations around the city; at their peak, they were giving 15,000 rides a day. The police harassed them. Politicians and commentators called them disruptive. But they persisted.

THREAD: It was supposed to be a routine surgery. So when the doctor stepped out, Sandra Parker wasn’t sure she heard right.

Her husband’s heart couldn’t have stopped for more than 5 or 6 minutes, the doctor was saying.

“That’s not a lot of time,” Mrs. Parker thought. “Is it?”

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.
It didn’t even take 6 hours.

when i was 15, my dad called me #piggy in a restaurant for asking if i could have my own slice of pie instead of sharing. my entire family went ten toes down against him, to the point that they moved the other patrons to a different room. that's how you handle a man calling a woman a name like that.

We're primarying John Fetterman.

Last week, Fetterman again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians.

We deserve real working class leadership in the Senate, not a Trump-enabling Democrat.
