What Derek Chauvin did to George Floyd was a public extrajudicial execution. Keep that in mind when you say we haven't had a public execution since 1936. We have, actually. Many times. They're called police murders.

A shackled detainee was thrown to the ground, placed in a WRAP full-body restraint, and carried onto today's ICE Air flight at MSP. This is the first time we've seen the device used in Minnesota. If a loved one may have been aboard, full loading sequence is here: youtube.com/watch?v=MEMv2ngB1GI

• More than 38,000 women (22,000) and girls (16,000) have been killed, including since the so-called ceasefire. These figures likely understate the true toll, as many bodies remain trapped under rubble.

*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy. You can: —put it in drop box —go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you —if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.

ICE arrested the mom of a 9-year-old at a school bus stop in Austin, leaving him alone and crying. The video has profanity and is heartbreaking to watch, but it shows the fear/pain of what happened. This is evil. This is wrong. And it has to stop.

This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.

My team at the NVA Lab has produced a new dashboard for exploring our data on US protests from Jan 2025-May 2026. This snapshot shows the 61k+ protest events (>14.6M+ recorded participants) active in the US since Trump's second inauguration. Link to dashboard in thread.
A platform displaying the data on US protests from the Crowd Counting Consortium. It includes a map of the US with counts of protest events in circular form overlaying the protests' locations. It also includes weekly tallies of protest events and participations, top protest issues, and various filters allowing users to explore events by location, issue, date, political valence, etc. The top of the image shows a total of 61,782 protests with 14,684,201 participants across 55 US states and territories from January 20, 2025 to May 31, 2026.

I dislike the argument that we must learn how to accept something because it is inevitable (AI). Something is only inevitable if we treat it as such. It’s the mirror image of the argument that some people are unelectable (women). Someone is only unelectable if we treat them as such.

Giving up the power of your vote because something nefarious might happen is obeying in advance. It makes sure your voice is silenced rather than risk that someone may attempt to silence you. If bad actors are going to try to manipulate election results, you don’t have to do their work for them.
