so, torture. they’re torturing them as federal policy. entirely predictable, but that doesn’t make it any less evil

remarkably tone-deaf move by a-klo as she launches a gubernatorial campaign in the state that has been under violent siege from ICE for months.

This week's cover @thelancet.com

Trying to do my taxes and having a hard time focusing.
ICE spent $30 million just on bullets.

Death camps are like that.
Corruption to cover up mass murder and big business are peanut butter and chocolate under fascism.

Fun fact, US passports did not have a gender marker until 1977, when a rising trend in unisex fashion started freaking the government out.

You should care about this because trans people are human beings with inalienable human rights, but even if you don't, you should care about this for your own personal safety

First they violate the rights of a group they think no one will fight for, and then they come for the rest of us

This is why people are so upset when people say Democrats need to stop focusing on trans issues because it's too woke and people aren't ready for it: we're not talking minor inconvenience here. We're not talking microaggressions

We're talking: they are stripping IDs from trans people

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

The athletic reports that team USA GM bill guerin was who invited kash patel into the locker room

I think it's bad that the man, who is also the GM of the Minnesota Wild, would invite the FBI Director, who is actively part of the the federal governments coverup of two murders of Minnesotans, into the locker room to party.

Wow, a mayor can just do that? IMAGINE

The problem with re-doing the Minneapolis flag is that the Frey/All of Mpls faction has zero chill or sense of play, so you’ll get something thuddingly conventional, the bastard child of AI & Canva with a font only appropriate for North Loop wine bars

With Minneaplis in the news I think we should take steps and get a new flag.

Federal officers lied to @repilhan.bsky.social and @repangiecraig.bsky.social Friday when they said there were “only two deportation flights per week from Minnesota” (Craig’s words). There were flights every day that week, per @ottergoose.net, w/ 7 detainees Fri and 20 Sat:

‘No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

this screen cap is over a decade old but I still think about it a lot

The Chief Justice of the United States will literally change the rules of the Supreme Court of the United States instead of divesting in individual stocks.

it's hard to see someone else live your dream

The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.

Letters sent by @epic.org yesterday calling on the FTC and nine states to investigate and block Meta's plan to add facial recognition to its Ray-Ban smart glasses.

A privacy, safety, and civil liberties disaster in the making—unless enforcers step up.

ICE agents are still out there this morning, photographing schools from unmarked vehicles and then quickly leaving after being confronted. Keep your heads up.

Stephen Colbert Says CBS Blocked Him From Interviewing Senate Hopeful Over FCC Equal Time Fears Colbert and 'The Late Show' posted the interview with James Talarico on the show's YouTube page to bypass the FCC's oversight.

"You know who is not one of my guests tonight: Texas State Representative James Talarico. He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast."

This company is so uniquely toxic and awful.

This is just unconscionable man

God the gall of @jaketapper.bsky.social lecturing that Minneapolis small business owner about the meaning of the word "concentration camp" while people are being crammed into poorly resourced buildings by the thousands and shuttled off never to be heard from again
