Hey all. I’m going to start boosting some Palestinian fundraisers. Please donate/share as you can. First up is Mohammed Al-Masri (@Its_Moh9). He’s nearly a third of the way to his goal for his family. Let’s see if we can get him there. https://t.co/TYrqysVnqb

Okay so our plagiarism machines can permanently access humanity’s knowledge but every site that tries to make that knowledge accessible to individual humans gets criminally prosecuted and dismantled.

Pay attention folks. This is all happening under the radar. All of these new mega detention camps being built around our country are being paid for by taxpayer dollars, and will be nothing more than the concentration camps built in Germany. 😡 READ: https://t.co/1O2i3NFcbg

Power is relative. The "powerful elite" can be members of your local church. Boosters & coaches for your local team. Frat houses. If we listened to girls long ago instead of men & how they choose to frame sexual abuse as individualized, anomalies, we wouldn't keep being shocked.

350,000 people with nowhere to go will be rendered undocumented on Tuesday. Not because Haiti is safe, no, of course not. Because Secretary Noem and President Trump don’t think they should be here legally. What the hell are we doing? Is this who we are?

Gonna use this as an excuse to ask for any other tips for staying healthy while traveling, as I’ve done my best to avoid it. I’ve got high quality masks (Is it ok to fall asleep with one on?) and Profi nasal spray. I’m up to date on boosters. Anything else I can realistically do?

Five days after this, Hennepin Co. Medical Center employees began stating that ICE agents in the hospital were deterring patients from receiving care safely. Three days later, DHS started “auditing” the hospital’s employee records.

the thing that most people fundamentally do not understand about environmental issues is that literally everything is one. the only real distinction becomes one of scale. there’s no “outside” of this to shelter yourself from.

This man attacked a non-citizen with a knife and was arrested. Then he sent a fake Presidential death threat pretending to be the man he attacked. Because the victim wasn't a citizen, the Trump administration arrested the victim... and DHS still has the fake threat on their site.

This is NOT how it’s playing out on the ground. Neighbors were hit by chemical munitions and one was arrested in my district literally 90 minutes ago (19th+port). This administration lies constantly. The invasion of Minneapolis, and our courageous resistance, continues.

*He. He was a trans man. So often transmascs and trans men are misgendered even in death and that is why you so rarely see reports of murders fuelled by anti-transmasculinity. Because the official statements and media miscategorise them as cys women.
