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) ⬇️

In Austin, a 9-year-old watched ICE detain and drive away with his mother, leaving community members to scramble to find him care. Senate Republicans just blocked a bill that would bar ICE from making arrests at school bus stops. Their cruelty is endless.

A decade ago, Florida stripped a teacher of her license for sexually abusing a 16-year-old. Last year, she opened a private school there with ease. As private schools fueled by taxpayer dollars proliferate, states are choosing not to closely regulate who runs them or what they teach:

Cash Russell was only nine years old when he was fatally shot in Springfield, Illinois, last year. He was killed on the east side of the city — an area where officials rely on the help of residents to solve murders. So far, no one has spoken up due to fear of retribution. From May 2026:

No Public Outcry In Springfield After a Kid Is Killed. Why?
Officials in Springfield, Illinois, created a task force to build trust with the community and prevent the type of shooting that claimed Cash Russell’s life. There’s little evidence it’s helping.
