Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

Libraries make us a harder target for authoritarianism. Equal access to info, ideas, and space that doesn’t require a purchase to belong. Also: using the library means money stays in your community instead of streaming out to Amazon. 📚 What’s checked out on your card right now?

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

#socialism We don't rely on social media like the capitalists. Since social media is banning real people, we will win because those people go into the real world where we get to talk to them without worrying about dumb ass techbros trying to stop us.

Because people won't give up cars, live a healthy life, and stop breeding we have 5-10 years left before the planet becomes uninhabitable for humans. Most of us will die, like 90% of humanity, all because people like to be fat slobs full of microplastics, asbestos, and lead.

Look at the multitude of CRIMES Trump is currently involved in. Bigger & bolder than the first term. Look at the big picture. When I say DOJ & FBI (Garland & Wray) failed Justice, I mean across the board! Because the 1st term was the same, COUNTLESS CRIMES. Not only Insurrection. Extreme failure.

RIP Louisa Gag, a transit planner who dedicated her career to making Boston’s streets safer for cyclists & pedestrians. She was killed while biking to work on July 9, 2026. Street safety improvements shouldn’t be delayed, watered down, or treated as a political inconvenience. Safe streets now!!

Ricardo Hernandez-Navarrete is only 18 years old, but he says he was subjected to horrid conditions at six different ICE detention centers in the span of two months. "One day I was a senior in high school." "The next day, I was in detention."

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

Don’t call them ICE detention centers. Call them camps | John Washington

I’ve spent a decade reporting on immigration enforcement. The word ‘camp’ best captures the political function of these facilities

In six months time, the US bombing of Somalia, escalated by Donald Trump in recent months "will rank as the longest foreign war the U.S. has ever fought," writes Spencer Ackerman for Zeteo. So why is no one talking about this particular 'forever war'?

Why Is No One Talking About the ‘New War’ Trump Is Waging in Somalia?

While the administration hounds Somali immigrants at home, it’s pummeling Somalia with an ‘unprecedented’ volume of airstrikes, but you might not know it given the silence from our media and Congress.
