🙏🇺🇦 Zelensky: At night, the Russians launched a combined strike. They struck Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipro regions. There are wounded and dead.
Russian military enterprises, Russian logistics, Russian airports must feel that the Russian war has real consequences for them.

This is an excellent article on the depressing similarities between EU and U.S. (anti-)immigration policies and practices.

In Europe just as in Trump's America, the creeping criminalisation of migration and solidarity
An obsession with security is increasingly putting both migrants and human-rights defenders on the wrong side of the law. The trend is the same in both the USA and Europe.

These are Ukrainian farmers from Kherson region. They're harvesting watermelons, which is vital for their livelihood. They brought the child with them because their city is constantly under Russian drone attacks, and it's unclear where it's safer to stay.

Russia will claim it struck NATO generals and whatnot. But they are just murdering sleeping civilians, tearing families apart, and turning homes into dust.

Watch how your representatives and senators respond to their own colleague being treated like this. That'll show you how they'll react when it's *you* on the ground.

Oh everybody is Black now.
A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference.
But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

Forcibly removing a sitting US senator, as they opposed the president's immigration policy, is a part of a broader slide.

Florida child welfare officers found a 17-year-old living in a shed with no food or water. They sent him to a foster home... and then reported him to ICE, whereupon he was handcuffed and shackled and marched to detention.
Not only is that victimizing him again, it violates Florida's own rules.

![The decision to alert immigration authorities to Henry’s status as an undocumented migrant is at odds with decades of child welfare practice in Florida – and it appears to violate a 30-year-old state Department of Children and Families rule that prohibits workers from acting upon a child’s status. Fran Allegra, a children’s attorney who ran Miami-Dade’s private foster care agency from 2004 until 2014, said if DCF’s action in Henry’s case represents a formal change in policy, it “puts Florida children at risk, and introduces a new chilling effect on reports to the [state’s] child abuse hotline. Reports about undocumented families are already low. This shift makes the chance for reporting, and, therefore, rescuing kids, less likely.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifzejzvkh3dka76wm5kctwo2jvthtmawpnyjkxtuzhn7es3fqlcau@jpeg)
