On Friday night, @seiuca.bsky.social President David Huerta was lawfully observing immigration enforcement activity in his community when ICE agents violently arrested him.

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.

If anything, my detention is a testament to the strength of the student movement in shifting public opinion toward Palestinian liberation. Students have long been at the forefront of change - leading the charge against the Vietnam War, standing on the frontlines of the civil rights movement, and driving the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. Today, too, even if the public has yet to fully grasp it, it is students who steer us toward truth and jus-tice.
The Trump administration is targeting me as part of a broader strategy to suppress dissent. Visa-holders, green-card carriers, and citizens alike will all be targeted for their political beliefs. In the weeks ahead, students, ad-vocates, and elected officials must unite to defend the right to protest for Palestine. At stake are not just our voices, but the fundamental civil liberties of all.
Knowing fully that this moment transcends my individual circumstances, I hope nonetheless to be free to witness the birth of my first-born child.
5/5

You can have the cops come beat the shit out of your students to prove you’re not a filthy commie and they’ll still do this to you and all you’ll have done is show everyone what a pathetic little coward you are. Might as well do the right thing the first time

Trump's professions of enduring gratitude for Roberts are understandably getting the most attention, but if I am hearing correctly, a few seconds earlier, Anthony Kennedy tells Trump, "You're teaching young people to love America" youtu.be/Wo_uknQLZog?...

Trump to Cabinet: Musk has no authority to fire workers
President Donald Trump convened his Cabinet in person on Thursday to deliver a message: You’re in charge of your departments, not Elon Musk.

According to two administration officials, Trump told top members of his administration that Musk was empowered to make recommendations to the departments but not to issue unilateral decisions on staffing and policy. Musk was also in the room.

Okay, so does this mean that every federal employee fired, including the probationary staff, will get their jobs back?

This is a question to pose to your reps NOW.

My black cat is really into human food. He will smell my food but doesn't usually eat it. But my tabby cat could care less about human food.

Yosemite halts camping reservations, with no timetable for their return Yosemite halts camping reservations, with no timetable for their return at a time when federal employees are being laid off

Want to go visit the national parks this year?
Sorry.
The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.

2) we already have the leadership we need in *abundance*.

Public librarians, union organizers, activist scholars & more have been doing this for decades. Most are queer, women & nb, POC. Most lack the titles & salaries they deserve.

They know your community & how to move. Listen & follow them.

A news headline in white text on a black background reads:
"Trans Man Killed in New York Was Tortured for Two Months, Police Say."

Below the headline, the article snippet states:
"The body of Sam Nordquist, 24, was found in a field after he had been reported missing. The district attorney in Ontario County, N.Y., called the circumstances surrounding the death β€˜beyond depraved.’"

This is the ultimate result of a hate campaign against the trans community. Depraved violence and murder against our community.

I am really outdone. The Maryland National Guard cannot celebrate Frederick Douglass, the state’s native son and perhaps the greatest American this nation ever produced, because he’s Black and his chosen birthday happened to fall during Black History Month. (Ask me why he had to choose is b-day)
