Every American needs to watch this:

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

If this doesn’t tug at your heart, make you well up with sadness, you are not human.

Alex Pretti’s coworkers take a moment of silence this morning

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

There are entire new cohorts of Americans, discovering in horror what the Black Americans always knew, from their firsthand experiences…

This interview with James Baldwin was aired in the 1960s… and is so painfully valid today - on the day of ICE murdering another American.

For it is bitter cold, and I am sick at heart.

From 3,000 miles away, I stand with my friends in Minnesota.

If you approve of, or try and rationalize, in any way, shape, or form, this cold-blooded execution, here's the door out.

Martin Luther King Jr. understood better than almost anyone that racial justice and economic justice are inextricably intertwined. Watch his powerful call to end poverty from his final Sunday Sermon.

Today I was Kidnapped By ICE - Dawokefarmer

WATCH: “How many people with domestic violence convictions are running around, with guns, in our cities, terrorizing people?”

Journalist @laurajedeed.bsky.social was hired as an ICE officer after a 6 minute interview, despite not having completed a background check.

Make it viral.

Ah yes. Those diseases are in such high demand. I’m so glad we rescued measles from being eliminated. It was so unjust. Clearly it deserved to go on murdering and disabling children.

Seems like every new Epstein files event results in the US bombing or invading someone.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Not the news you want to wake up to. Rest in peace, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer.

Vaccine Safety MENU V For Everyone NOV. 19, 2025 KEY POINTS • The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. • Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities. • HHS has launched a comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism, including investigations on plausible biologic mechanisms and potential causal links.

The U.S. government is now inarguably spreading medical disinformation that is going to kill babies preferentially.

Period.

This is an INTOLERABLE. UNPRECEDENTED. DANGEROUS. ATTACK. ON ALL OF US.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court denied an attempt to challenge Obergefell v. Hodges, the case affirming marriage equality nationwide.

Our freedom to marry remains the law of the land.

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

As an immunologist by training, I love this. I had a professor once who described keyhole limpet hemocyanin as the thing that made the immune system go "GOD I HATE THAT"

Alum make APC [antigen-presenting cell]go boom. Injection site big mad. Antibody production go brrr
