Incarcerated women report rampant sexual abuse by guards and the guards retaliate by spraying them with chemical agents and sending them to the hospital as a warning. Rape culture and brazen misogyny from the highest institution to the lowest.

ICE’s new tactic, witnessed repeatedly at the federal building in MN: when a detained immigrant makes a successful habeas petition, release the immigrant for a few steps outside the building… then tackle and re-arrest them, and claim the habeas petition has been honored and nullified

Trujillo, who was a fascist dictator in my native DR, assaulted HUNDREDS of women. Along with racist and xenophobic actions, sexual violence is at the center of these types of governments. You all just don’t wan to see it. It’s racism. It’s homophobia. It’s misogyny. It’s greed and cruelty.

No one under a certain age remembers the water gun arms race these things set off. Suddenly, the simple squeezy-trigger spring loaded squirt gun was laughably obsolete. Every battle between the new technology and the old was like a backyard Somme.

The term “remigration” is associated with the extreme right and only came into widespread usage in 2023-4. Even Germany’s AfD avoided using the term in 2024 for fear of scaring away voters. Today the US government is celebrating the “victories” it’s racked up in the “ethnic cleansing” column.

At least 57 people have died in ICE detention since the start of President Trump's second term — more than double the number of deaths recorded from the previous four years combined. ICE must be held accountable before any more lives are lost.

Deaths in ICE Detention More Than Doubles Under Trump
Death rate could be higher if it includes hidden deaths of people released from detention that ICE is reporting under Trump administration.

Making something legally not mine in my car
Location: Columbus ohio
Could I put a bin in my car with a label to make sure cops know something in my car isn't mine. I'm 18 but my mom and brother are over the age of 21 and sometimes they will leave liquor or weed in my car. I don't want to get pulled over and get a possession charge for it is there any way I can make it legally not mine while in my car. So they don't have to come to my house to pick it up every time.

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵
