“There should be no doubt that this heartbreaking loss is the direct result of inhumane conditions perpetrated by GEO Group and the Trump admin. Delaney Hall must be shut down, and justice must be served on behalf of Edwin and every person whose life has been upended by the daily cruelty”

Omg! Don't let this happen. Oppose, donate, show up at hearings!
Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin@ecmclaughlin.bsky.social · 2d agoIf you don’t want mandatory genital exams for girls’ sports, it’s time to make a donation to No Hate in WA State.

Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

On Jan. 11, Gregory Bovino watched as his Border Patrol agents dragged a man out of his car at a St. Paul Speedway, knelt on his back until he lost consciousness, and dragged his limp body into the back of a van. The man's name is Orbin Mauricio Henriquez Serrano and this is his story.

🚨NEW: Todd Blanche’s new order rescinds the May 18 Anti-Weaponization Fund—but quietly leaves the May 19 IRS immunity settlement intact. Instead of rescinding it, the accompanying memo reaffirms DOJ’s interpretation, arguing the immunity applies only retroactively and only to the parties involved.1/
The NYC Gay Men's Chorus in 1993. The men in white were the only original chorus members to make it out of the AIDS crisis. We lost SO many young people.
ɪᴍᴍᴀɴᴜᴇʟ ᴋᴜɴᴛ@soberthots.blacksky.app · 4d agoHearing Jennifer Lewis talk about the losses she experienced during the AIDS crisis really contextualizes how bad it was. She said that every day she would get a phone call saying at least 3-5 people passed away, and this is just within her immediate circle - think about it nationally.
Hinojosa: That is Greg Abbott’s record. That’s why the polling shows people want change. They know Greg Abbott. They know he’s been there 12 years, and they will not elect him to another four. That’s the opportunity we have in this election.

A lot of the male response to Platner was along the lines of, “He didn’t rape her, but he messed up because he knew she thought he did.” What’s at stake there is whether women get to name and define rape, or whether that remains an exclusively male prerogative.
Every little bit helps. Whatever you can give!
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · last wk.As of this week, hundreds of thousands of Haitians lost their legal status. Most have lost work permits as well. That's left many people unable to support themselves. Here is a verified link to a fundraiser supporting Haitians in Springfield. Please drop links to other fundraisers in the replies.
A mother gave the government her fingerprints, tax records, and DNA to get her 6-year-old daughter back. She did everything officials asked. ICE used that information to find and arrest her. A child welfare system became a deportation tool. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
ICE Turned Family Reunification Into A Deportation List

I don't think people understand how thin the line between "deportation" and "extermination" really is - not just in Europe, but everywhere the topic comes up. Many people feel comfortable with the idea of deportation because it obscures the underlying violence that is necessarily implied.
