NEW: Over 320,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced from Gaza City by Israeli forces since Israel’s second invasion of the city of 1.3m residents in the last two years. Many of those that fled aren't able to find a place to pitch a tent in the so-called “safe zone” of al-Mawasi.

Officials said that federal agents warned Broadview police there would be “a s--- show” tonight in response to the Mayor’s comment that ICE is “making war on my community.

Activists and journalists on the ground have been posting video of what it looks like.

Happening now: at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago, Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and other CBP/ICE agents emerge to patrol Beach Street and escort a vehicle out.

They ordered people out of the street, walked to the end of it and then back to the fence.

The number of people being grabbed at immigration check ins or green card hearings is despicable.

They’re following the process. They’re doing everything the “right way”.

Yet they’re being abducted and disappeared.

Barbara Marques. Say her name. Demand accountability.

Help bring her home.
Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

...my most watched video of the year reviews all the studies showing that trans ppl are victims (not perpetrators) in public restrooms & delves into the history of the "sexual predator" stereotype and how it's been used against other marginalized groups (including LGB people) […]

This is how they act ... with cameras all around.

Imagine how they act when there are no cameras.
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

The fascist regime destabilizes the economy and then uses that as a recruiting tool for the Gestapo. Ultimately, those thugs will get ripped off and thrown under the bus at the earliest convenience as funds get funneled into private prison owners and slavery is made the rule of order.
we can sneak around town / hunting working folks down / I hear they got a great benefit plan

This was always the goal of bathroom bans, to fully push trans people from any semblance of public life, and it won't end there either, the "gender critical" project is currently trying to exert pressure over businesses that hire trans people in the UK, so that trans people are unemployable...
This is legitimately insane. It's not an exaggeration to say this is actually a full on bathroom ban for trans people because they're banned from using spaces of their sex assigned at birth too!

Another data point for my argument that nothing in this world makes Gregg Abbott happier than the needless suffering of children.

School shootings, razor wire at the border, preventable diseases, health care reductions … if it will lead to more dead kids, the governor is all for it.
The governor is rejecting $450 mil meaning that 3.8 million Texas children will go hungry. He’s not acting alone. In Congress, Republicans are jeopardizing food assistance programs that help hard working Texas families put food on the table. It’s shameful. www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/tex...

Texas is one of a dozen states that doesn't participate in the Summer EBT program that gives low-income children meals when school is out.

that's $2.2 trillion in tax cuts for the rich, more half it it paid for by cuts to Medicaid and student loan forgiveness
I read Trump + Senate Republicans' "One Big Beautiful Bill" so you don't have to.

It came out at *midnight* & we're still getting numbers in from Congress's bookkeepers.

Early returns:
Nearly $1 TRILLION in Medicaid cuts.

Happy Saturday. Follow for more.

Trump and Stephen Miller want a vast secret police apparatus and they are building it right out in the open.
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:

- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

Yes, this is bad for porn.

But porn famously has no clear legal definition. As such:

This is a direct path to censoring anything the GOP wants to censor and can argue is “adult” - info on birth control, queer identity, anything about trans people or gender diversity or safe sex or HIV or drag or

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.

Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it.

Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Trump may think he’s made ICE brutality unpublishable, but he’s wrong. He might believe Executive Order 14148 will shield ICE agents from accountability, but executive orders are not law, and they won’t protect anyone from facing consequences. Plain and simple.
