Why doesn't ICE have uniforms? Why don't they have to wear body cameras? Why don't they have to show a badge or provide their names? Why are they allowed to hide their identities?

Folks in Joplin should be angry & scared. If trump had been president during the tornado, he would have said that FEMA's assistance was unwarranted

7th District Congressman Eric Burlison won’t bother to engage with his constituents, but I will. I drove fours hours for this meeting and it was standing room only in Joplin, Missouri. #LFG

BREAKING: ICE RAID reported at Buona Forchetta tonight about a mile up the road in San Diego. Smoke bombs were used to disperse the crowd. FUCK ICE. WTF?!

"TERFism, like all fascist discourses and all imperial and settler-colonial horizons, imagines itself upside-down, as somehow preyed-upon, bullied, colonized, and at risk of genocidal erasure at the hands of the subjugated group it dehumanizes." - @reproutopia.bsky.social

1. Great ruling out of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The 9th Circuit has ruled that there is no "first amendment" religious right to discriminate against transgender customers. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

Wild story. A family of asylum seekers, fearing deportation, tried to leave the United States by going to Canada. They were stopped at the exit by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and detained for THREE WEEKS in a holding cell meant for no more than 72 hour stays — then released.

Cutting funding for a Bird Flu Vaccine will be costlier and deadlier in the long run. Seniors, people w/disabilities & chronic illness like me are high risk. Our populations always suffer the most. But an administration hell bent on cutting Medicaid for low-income people doesn't care about genocide!

Folks have many questions about the General Strike U.S., understandably. So hopefully we can address some of those in this post. First - security. Here's a thread on staying safe re: the Strike Card. Additionally, we are making the phone # optional on the updated strike card, so stay tuned. 🧵

General Strike US@generalstrikeus.bsky.social

Q: “Can I make up a name or phone number when signing the #strike card?” A: We don’t want to encourage using fake information as an effort to reduce spam sign-ups. But, we DO understand some citizens’ desires to stay private in their endeavors. So we have a few solutions to share below…

Today RFK and co. removed the COVID vaccine from the CDC's recommended immunization schedule for children and pregnant people. This is junk science. COVID puts children and pregnant people at higher risk for ER visits and hospitalizations, and Long COVID can cause chronic health issues for anyone.

My family, including my kids, got the covid vaccine as soon as it was available. We have continued to get booster shots. None of us have ever had covid, always testing negative. Since we haven't gotten covid, we haven't had the negative health impacts of long covid #vaccineswork

Reply to deleted post: Yes, 70% to each exposure, which has been enough that no one in my family has had a positive test, either while asymptomatic or symptomatic with other colds. Yes we mask in crowds, wash hands, etc. We also live in a high compliance area & vacs were required for work.

For comparison's sake, we also get the flu vacc, which is about half as effective. In 10 years, we've had 2 positives. Vaccines reduce infection rates for everyone, not getting infections prevents long term complications. Esp for long covid as reinfection increases risk

Anyone anywhere is welcome to join the Pride Bricks project! Basically just paint pride flags on bricks and large rocks, then during June stealthily hide them around the city or town- out of walkways- easter egg style!

Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly “obstructing” ICE. Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings. This mess is escalating fast.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

Immigration court arrests continued across the nation yesterday (and are likely ongoing today). Yesterday, in NYC, 30 ICE officers swarmed the immigration court, holding lists of names of people to arrest. All were dutifully attending their immigration hearings and many had pending asylum claims.

Five years ago, George Floyd was murdered—another Black life stolen by a broken system. That wasn’t justice then, and it’s not justice now. Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. Our communities deserve real change. Enough delay.

Today, we remember Uvalde. We remember the 19 children and 2 teachers who were mercilessly gunned down. The kids who hid underneath their dead classmates to survive. The parents who had to submit DNA to identify their own babies. We need an assault weapons ban. Now.

Actually thinking that the mutual aid we're setting up to survive will allow us to unionize and strike. A general strike is the only thing that will bring about real change. A general strike is how we overthrow the oligarchs

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics.  Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.
