Two young children should be growing up today. Instead, their lives were stolen in a horrific mass shooting in Erie, PA that left eight people dead. Our hearts are with their family now facing unimaginable grief. This endless violence must stop. www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/9...

Yesterday afternoon, ICE agents — who did not present a warrant, and who appear to have been disguised as construction workers — fired 7 shots into a car with a 5-year-old child, hitting Oscar Belgal in the neck.

ICE agents fired into the back of a car with a 5 year old inside, trying to arrest a guy. Miraculously, she survived. If you're not furious about what happened in the Bronx yesterday, you're not paying attention. FUCK ICE.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

WARNING: The Ellison family is about to own CBS News AND CNN. A judge just cleared the deal. Closing: days away. When one family controls what tens of millions watch, democracy loses a watchdog. Independent media isn't a luxury. It's your last line of defense.

This is a fact. The data is unambiguous and the solutions exist. The only thing missing is the will to act.

Trump’s 9/11 comment that he went down to the scene to help has been a lie he’s repeated for 25 years. It’s his own version of stolen valor. He did nothing except go on TV & brag that he now owned the tallest building in Manhattan after the towers went down. Which was also a lie.

In 1855 Jamaican nurse Mary Seacole went to the Crimean Peninsula to care for soldiers in wartime. She & Florence Nightingale were honored in London for their service. Seacole wrote "I am proud of [my] relationship to those poor mortals whom you once held enslaved & whose bodies America still owns."
Portrait of an elegantly dressed woman. Mary Seacole was renowned for treating cholera in Panama & for her support of British troops during the Crimean War. In addition to her work with medicine, she was an entrepreneur & published an autobiography in 1857.
