I'm frustrated. I live and served in a country that cares more about gas prices than: - citizens being killed by ICE - providing a future for children - the servicemembers who will die due to Iran conflict Save one. Just try to save one person. Make one person's life better. Build tomorrow together

I have gotten confirmation from sources inside the Coast Guard that this is in fact true and happened in Key West. ICE went into military housing and took the spouse of a USCG member who is currently out to sea.

This makes a lot of sense. Technology changes so fast, people need reskilling after 10-20 years. Or if you picked a career you hate earlier.

Sarah Stillman investigates a widespread crisis of deaths by starvation in America’s county jails. Most of the victims she identified had been arrested in the midst of a mental-health crisis, often on petty charges tied to their psychiatric distress.

Starved in Jail

Why are incarcerated people dying from lack of food or water, even as private companies are paid millions for their care?

Democratic governors, mayors and city councils need to coordinate with their National Guard and local law enforcement leaders NOW. Make sure you have people you trust in place NOW. Fascists are going to strip your power or arrest you if you're not prepared to resist.

Hi @ezralevin.bsky.social I'd like Indivisible's assistance in requesting legislation. L: Persons having participated in ICE deportation proceedings to El Salvador are ineligible for Federal Service. Right now, ICE officials are "just doing their job". Let's let them know our values.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. “The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, ‘Take him anyway.'”

That moment marked the beginning of Wilmer’s search for answers — answers he’s still waiting for.

It happened again. An attorney filed a brief in the Dallas Court of Appeals citing four cases that neither opposing counsel nor the court could locate. Last week the court gave counsel 10 days to file copies of the four cases. This will not end well. #appellatesky

There is a severe problem happening in the bee world: Bees are dying & this year 2025 80% of the Bee population has died. This is catastrophic for the planet. So I am asking my sweetest friends with money & pull: lets get Honey Tree Healing Farm going to repopulate bees, trees & feed the world.

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off. We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

Pressley, Warren, Markey Sound Alarm on Rümeysa Öztürk’s Medical Neglect, Renew Urgent Calls for Her Release (1/2):

“It is unconscionable that Rümeysa Öztürk—a young woman pursuing her education, exercising her First Amendment rights, and contributing to her community—remains detained by DHS. Her ongoing incarceration is not only a blatant violation of her constitutional rights to due process and free speech, but it is now an egregious denial of her fundamental right to medical care.

Pressley, Warren, Markey Sound Alarm on Rümeysa Öztürk’s Medical Neglect, Renew Urgent Calls for Her Release (2/2):

“According to her lawyer, Rümeysa has not received her required asthma medications and has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in custody. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

“As her representatives in Congress, we demand DHS immediately provide Rümeysa with access to the health care she needs, and absent compelling evidence justifying her detention and the revocation of her status, we call for Ozturk’s release and the restoration of her visa. Every minute she remains in custody is another minute her health and rights are at risk, and DHS must move with urgency.”
