Having an in person international or national event in America? Are you weighing factors like lodging and transport? Cool stuff to do? Here's a map to consider if any of your attendees may possibly, even remotely be LGBTQIA. And you care about them.

Only ICE will investigate ICE now. That doesn't seem suss at all.

BREAKING NYT: Federal agents around the country were told in recent days that the FBI would no longer investigate confrontations with immigration agents — cases that sometimes yield evidence that could be used to prosecute DHS agents implicated in violent encounters.

"After enduring months of anti-ICE protests at its bank offices, Citizens Financial Group is parting ways with two for-profit prison operators that oversee detention facilities for the federal immigration enforcement agency." www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/17/b...

Citizens Bank parts ways with two prison operators amid ICE protests - The Boston Globe

Citizens said the end of its relationships with GEO Group and CoreCivic was driven by changing financial needs of the two clients, not by protests.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

If Flock cameras are only used for catching criminals, why are they tracking what stickers you have on your cars? Imagine searching a database to find all individuals with stickers indicating "left-wing tendencies". This is an actual Flock display.

NEWS --> Three men who were in the van with the victim of the ICE shooting in Texas are potential witnesses, but they're now under pressure to self-deport, a rep for the families tells me. They remain in detention even as ICE's story falters. Details in this piece: newrepublic.com/article/2129...

This Pride, we’re answering all your digital rights questions in season two of our initiative, LGBT Q&A. You asked: is being openly trans on the internet harmful in this day and age with the current political situation? EFF's answer: In short, yes. But of course it's more complicated than that.

In an unprecedented act of dissent, active-duty USAF Major Jason Watson was arrested on the Capitol steps after calling for the impeachment & removal of Donald Trump. Risking his career to uphold his constitutional oath, his arrest marks a historic moment. ✊🏻✊🏿✊🏼✊🏾✊🏽

One of the 15 defendants in Minnesota indicted on "Antifa" charges for allegedly standing up to ICE is simply accused of writing an article we published about the murder of Renee Good. The author describes an ICE agent shooting a pepper ball at his eye, point-blank. You can read the article here:

Minneapolis Responds to ICE Committing Murder

On January 7, 2026, an ICE agent murdered Renee Good. This is an account from a participant in the protests that broke out on scene of the murder.

Writing for an anarchist blog, for example, counts as evidence and participation in the conspiracy.

Do not talk to the feds. Get a lawyer immediately. If you're arrested. The only words you say is "I want to speak to my lawyer." They may try to be friendly or act casual. Do not fall for it. Do. Not. Talk. To. The. Feds.

ICE observers in Minneapolis have begun receiving visits from FBI agents sent to intimidate them. A close friend-combat vet, mother, no criminal record-who was a volunteer observer during the ICE crisis, had a visit and was threatened for taking photos and videoed, claiming that filming was illegal.

Absolute gutter level misogyny and racism.

I do not believe that political violence would bring-about good outcomes for society. Overall I suspect it would be quite damaging and - for that reason alone - I am glad that no one has (yet) been seriously injured tonight But would I be sad about the cathartic justice? No. Not at all

Trans women are biological women. Trans men are biological men. Please stop using the phrase “biological” to distinguish cis from trans people. Cis does just fine and you’re also revealing your own ignorance of how biology works, as well as underlying inherent transphobia, even if unintentionally.

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies." No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

Here's DHS's statement on CISA's behalf on the apparent Iran hack on medical tech company Stryker. In addition to the now normal but still weird partisan jabs in these statements, I can definitely assure you CISA does not launch investigations into all cyber incidents. They're barely staffed!
