IL State Police has opened an investigation into the fatal shooting of Silverio Villegas González nearly 8 months after he was killed by a federal immigration agent during a traffic stop in Franklin Park toward the start of Operation Midway Blitz. Let's hope State's Atty Burke will finally act.

Today, we honor and remember Virginia Roberts Giuffre on the one-year anniversary of her passing. Her courage has allowed countless survivors to be seen, heard, and to be believed. Sending love to her family on this difficult day—and to all the survivors out there still on this journey for justice.❤️

Absolutely. Makes me sick that many big name in-person tax places will charge people $300 to $500 for a tax return when someone is making $30k/year and is trying to support a family.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could say goodbye to TurboTax and file your taxes for free, online, and directly with the IRS? I have a bill to get that done.

Reports make it fairly clear that ICE detention facilities are worse than most US prisons. And for the most part they're crammed full of people who haven't been convicted of any crime.

Detained for 8 days💔 this was back in 2023 #abolishice #abolishicenow

A Honduran family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the U.S. government after their 8-year-old girl with a heart condition died in federal custody after crossing the border in 2023.

Thread on a really important investigation into medical neglect in ICE detention.

St. John Barned-Smith@stjbs.bsky.social

🧵Missed diagnoses, delayed treatment and poor medical care are driving record deaths in ICE custody. @kolyncheang.bsky.social and I spent months investigating the deaths of ICE detainees across the US. Over and over again, we found lapses in treatment that proved fatal.

#ImpeachConvictRemove is the only way to save us from this madman. The world is watching. If we fail with this, we deserve what comes next.

Citizens' Impeachment@citizensimpeachment.com

This man should be nowhere near anything resembling leadership or power of any kind. ❗ Reminder to anyone out there advocating for the 25th: impeachment requires far fewer votes and does not include the compliance of his cabinet of sycophants.

I have voted twice to advance articles of impeachment. We cannot wait. Congress must convene immediately and begin proceedings to remove this man from office for the safety of our nation, Americans, and the world.

My opinion is that the "friend" doesn't have the right to withhold funds- he was permanently disabled by ice. I don't want my donation back. Issues unrelated to the ice incident should be handled separately. The brutality ice unleashed on him has nothing to do with the allegations showing up on gfm

I have no idea if the SA allegations are true or not. As of posting, I have no idea if the supposed victim has a go fund me or ways to support. The reality is I would probably donate to both because nobody deserves to be assaulted.

Impeachment is not some special exception from normal politics where you shouldn't say it unless you already have the votes in hand. You go out and plainly advocate what you think should be done, and attack those who refuse to do it, just like on anything else.

If you see cops with gas masks, it means you need one too 💔. Proud of all the protestors for standing up

Mel Buer@melbuer.bsky.social

Still scrubbing and stabilizing footage, but I thought I'd share a clip I filmed from yesterday's protest outside the MDC in LA, after the feds gassed the entire block...three times. This is after they left the gates and ran down a protestor for arrest. These guys look absolutely terrified

When Trump announced he was sending in ICE to—supposedly—help deal with the hours-long airport security lines caused by the partial government shutdown, journalist Amanda Moore set out to learn what the agents were really up to. As it turns out, the answer was often: not much.

We have different tactics, not always different goals. When I was 20, I dressed all in black and had been arrested/detained multiple times. If you saw me now, you’d think I was a boring mom. But I fuck up the government and keep people safe from ICE all day every day.

Walking thru the “Ultra Normie” No Kings rally in my extremely rural, white town and there are Patagonia wearing moms carrying signs that say “DEAD PEDOPHILES DONT REOFFEND” and “ICE GETS THE WALL” and I hi fived an old guy with a sign that said MY DADDY FOUGHT NAZIS AND SO WILL I” this is wild

19 years old Royer Perez-Jimenez is one of the youngest people to die in an ICE camp. His arrest was unnecessarily violent and forceful. He’s shoved to the ground while officers kneel on his back as he struggles to communicate. A few weeks later, he was dead. Abolish ICE

FBI reported 1700 arrested "child predators" in 2025. That's around 1/200k. There have been now 7 pardoned J6ers arrested for sex crimes against kids, out of 1600 J6ers total, around 1 in 230. You can play w the denominator a bit (135M adult males) but it's still around 350x the rate

Brad Lander@bradlander.bsky.social

According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. (1/2)

Tear down dilley #abolishice

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

These stories are absolutely appalling. And they are also ones that have been told by families detained at Dilley every year since it opened a decade ago under Obama. It's long past time for the entire facility to be torn down completely.

If you're mad at these Dems for supporting fascist legislation, then be sure to check out and support their primary challengers. Filing just closed in California & Adam Gray's sole Democratic opponent is behavioral health manager Daniel Garibay Rodríguez.
