Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2

Let me be clear — there are contingency funds available to fully fund SNAP while we are in this Republican shutdown. But what is Trump doing? He’s doing everything in his power to withhold these benefits, making Americans go hungry.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton. I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.

We’re back at the Broadview Processing Center protesting ICE this morning. The good news? They tore down the unlawful fence we demanded come down. The bad news? We’re still lacking accountability, transparency, and our First Amendment rights. Join us today at 1930 Beach Street. See you soon.

George was just trying to get to work. ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process. This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7." @timmiller.bsky.social talked to a veteran who ICE wrongly detained and brutalized

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

I'm frustrated by so many of the people i know who hate what's going on but are frozen. I talk to them about personal resistance because leadership is lacking, share meidas mighty, blue sky, protest information, etc. but it doesn't seem to move the needle. Any suggestions for waking people up?

I don't know about you but I might get a bunch of post cards and mail one a day to Mara Lago. In case you might want to do the same, the adress is 1100 S. Ocean blvd, Palm Beach, Florida 33480.

The Afrikaner stunt is the kind of thing that has backfired so far -- it creates legal arguments for other refugees about animus. But holy hell he's not hiding the white sheets.
