5 years ago I read this guide, found nationalcasagal.org and became a volunteer child advocate, which led to fostering, which led to adoption. My daughter is the most unexpected, most wonderful gift.

Read this list, it just may change your life.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

#ICE let a toddler sit in a hot car for almost an hour while detaining his father. The mother was devastated and the child was traumatized. We must not let these #kidnappings stand! #luce #nokings #fascism

My latest piece, on a child left motherless after ICE stole her mother away. And now this child herself is gone without a trace.

It’s about what happens after cell phones stop recording and the viral moment fades, but the trauma to these families continues. open.substack.com/pub/ruthzaka...

It was so satisfying to write in why I cancelled Paramount+. And then to set up monthly donations to PBS and NPR.

I remain convinced that becoming a coward when faced with an authoritarian threat is not good for business.

BREAKING: A striking new mural in Roubaix France shows the Statue of Liberty covering her face in shame. It was unveiled just one day before America’s Independence Day. Titled “The Statue of Liberty’s Silent Protest,” the piece was painted in by Dutch artist Judith de Leeuw on a building.

It’s kind of beautiful that my book is coming out on Tuesday and all anyone wants to talk about is Zohran. People keep asking what in particular I’d like to burn down and more and more it’s the Democratic Party. www.harpercollins.com/products/i-w...

As I pick my daughter up from camp at the William and Charlotte Bloomberg Jewish Community Center and bring her to the Charlotte and William Bloomberg Public Library in a small city in MA, I’m struck by my old NYC major @michaelrbloomberg.bsky.social ’s generosity to the place where he grew up.

In Worcester, Massachusetts, the Trump regime's ICE troops violently attacked a mother and her two children – including a newborn baby.

Brave neighbours attempted to intervene to protect the family from being kidnapped by the regime troops and collaborator police forces. #3E #endimpunity

Despicable.
Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it.

Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids.

Don’t let this go!!!

My daughter was so excited to congratulate Senator Cory Booker in the YT chat when he broke the record.

I am so here for this. Senator Booker is giving me hope!
Cory Booker will break the record for longest Senate floor speech at 7:19 PM EDT. Fewer than 2 hours from now. The record is held by Strom Thurmond, who was arguing for segregation. GO CORY, GO!

Also, a woman was handcuffed at a subway station in NYC (Franklin Ave) when she intervened asking why a delivery man was asked to show work permit by undercover agents. There is a video of that.

One way might be for the constitutionally savvy Dems like Raskin to propose a law requiring Congressional consent for the declaration of federal martial law.

The Constitution does not explicitly grant POTUS unilateral authority to declare martial law, but it has not been challenged in the past.

I’m speechless at Rumeysa Ozturk’s abduction down the street. 🤬🤬🤬

Just discovered that she appears first on Canary Mission when you filter by MA students. Mahmoud Khalil is fourth for students in NY.

Didn’t find anyone I know on these lists- if you do, warn them.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH
