ICE BEHIND THE MASKS HAVE NAMES 2 masked agents threatened to arrest Robert Peck for legally observing them. He sued. “And now, because of a lawsuit, the (ICE) agents have names.” A Hylton 📌Nicholas Lapointe 📌Christopher Semler I hope more people take ICE to court when their rights are violated.

Russia strikes apartment buildings. Ukraine strikes refineries. Trump is angry at Ukraine and calls for them publicly and privately to stop bombing refineries while saying nothing about Russia killing children.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

When I see a new garbage political attack ad, I now try to focus on what entity paid for it. I saw one making things up about Sherrod Brown yesterday that came from “Buckeyes PAC,” which I hadn’t seen before. As it turns out, that’s by design. (Thread)
FEC page for “Buckeyes PAC,” showing registration September 8, 2026. It’s a bullshit pop-up PAC timed to delay disclosure of donors.

More than 70,000 people are currently in more than 200 concentration camps in the United States.
What? You say: We don't have concentration camps in the US.
Ah, but we do. Historians define concentration camps as sites of mass civilian detention without trial, based on group identity. Our "detention" centers ARE concentration camps.
We need to shut them down.

🧵The @sfchronicle.com has a lengthy dive with strong reporting on medical treatment of detainees by ICE. Or, I should say, lack of treatment. To add insult to injury, ICE is stiffing providers and billing detainees for their treatment on release, routing for collections if they don't pay.
Rodrigo, green card holder, was improperly detained by ICE and received no medication for his throat tumor, which is impinging on his vocal cords and caused a brain aneurysm.
