ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Showing up...to what? Are people under the impression that the Civil Rights Movement was some single day protest where we can count the numbers and compare?

Trump once again takes advantage of D.C.’s unique vulnerability to federal interference and reinstated the death penalty last week. It hasn't been used here in 68 years.

. @npr.org every single Al Jazeera reporter was killed in Gaza City and it's not worth a mention in your Israel reporting on Up First this morning?! You just mention one reporter and "several colleagues" but the weight of what happened is glossed over then you go to an Israeli mother's feelings?!

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes
Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true. Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that. It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.

The masks ICE agents wear aren’t masks. They’re face coverings designed to hide their identity. The masks disabled people have been pleading to normalize are KN95s, N95s and other respirators. Which will help protect you from COVID & other airborne threats! Normalize masking for public health.

Well, the government killed a lot of the people in those orgs. Red baited others into social death. There was that whole neoliberal turn where we said non-profits were more civilized than activists. Even with all of that, those orgs (even some of their people!) are still very much around.

Five years ago, at May’s end, the newspaper of record notoriously called the nearly 100,000 lives then taken by Covid “an incalculable loss,” but that was then, they stopped counting (we stopped counting) long ago, so now as the losses continue they are truly incalculable.
