Gov. JB Pritzker signs 'right-to-die' legislation for terminally ill people to end their lives in Illinois
The new law, which takes effect next September, opens the door for people 18 or older with a terminal diagnosis to be prescribed a fatal drug.

After Marcelo Gomes da Silva was arrested by ICE on his way to volleyball practice in Milford, he made a promise to the men he shared a cell with: He’d be a voice for immigrants unfairly detained.

He's one of Boston Globe Magazine’s Bostonians of the Year.

This woman was injured during the ICE raids in NYC yesterday.

I am gutted to learn of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social (Alice Wong’s) passing. She was always a warm friend, a wonderful spirit, and someone who fostered my own growth. She helped me see that, as a #disabled person with chronic illness, I matter—I am whole. I’ll be posting some of Alice’s work. ❤️ forever
A photo of a woman in pink in a wheelchair. She has an intubation for oxygen. She looks up at the viewer. Words: This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine ! would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all. may her memory

In today’s @bostonglobe.com Kenia Guerrero writes about the loss of her husband. He is not dead but he is gone, disappeared by ICE. Please — I implore you — read every word and share. Since the Globe doesn’t have gift articles I have screenshotted the entire piece.

We can’t turn away from this. 1/2
KENIA GUERRERO ICE deported my husband. Our everything is gone, and we are unraveling. This is not just an immigration issue. This is an issue of basic humanity. It is the brutal unraveling of a family. Kenia Guerrero • Updated June 30th, 2025, 7:38 AM • Listen Kenia Guerrero is co-owner of a painting business in Chelsea. On Mother's Day, May 11, my life fell apart. What should have been a day to celebrate family unity culminated in family separation at the hands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Chelsea. That morning, my husband, Daniel Flores-Martinez, noticed suspicious cars parked down the street from our home, but we continued our daily activities. We prepared ourselves to head to church. My husband helped our three children get into the car, including our 12-year-old daughter, who lives with multiple disabilities. A few minutes after driving away, we saw flashing lights behind us. I pulled over. Suddenly, the suspicious cars my husband had seen surrounded us. Masked, armed officers swarmed our vehicle from both sides. One of them asked for my identification, but he was clearly interested in my husband, not me. He insisted on knowing who my husband was. I know my rights as a US citizen, and as the driver, I asked why they wanted to know about a passenger. I asked who they were and why our car had been stopped. But I received no answers. Within moments, one of the officers raised what looked like a weapon and used it to tap the glass of the passenger window, suddenly threatening to break it. I begged them not to use violence because my children were in the back seat. Without any regard for our safety, they smashed the passenger-side window. Glass shards flew into the car, even into the back seat, where our children were sitting. They screamed. We were all terrified. Within seconds, ICE officers physically reached inside the vehicle through the shattered window and unlocked the front passenger door. Then the officers opened the door and unbuckled Daniel's seat belt. They forcefully yanked him out of the car. They slammed him face down onto the sidewalk, their knees pressed into his back, even though he never resisted. A bystander captured it all on video. I ran out to see what was happening, but an officer restrained me. I pleaded with her, saying, "Aren't you a mother?" But the officers did not stop. My children sobbed as the officers arrested Daniel, taking him away. No one ever told us who they were. No one showed a warrant. And just like that, Daniel was gone. Now he has been deported. And we are left behind. Daniel, an undocumented immigrant, was deported to Matamoros, Mexico - even though he has no ties there. Daniel is a loving father and a devoted husband, and he helps run our small family painting business. He is the backbone of our home, community, and church. His sudden and violent removal has left our family in crisis - medically, emotionally, and economically. Our daughter is disabled. She lives with epilepsy, hydrocephalus, and cerebral palsy. These conditions require constant medical care and hands-on support. She cannot dress or bathe without assistance. Daniel provided all this care unassumingly, with love and diligence, every single day. Since he was taken, our daughter's condition has worsened. Her mental health has deteriorated. She lacks motivation to attend school and has a hard time focusing in class. How can anyone blame her? Her father is gone. I am doing my best, but I am now the sole caregiver to our children - our daughter and two sons, ages 14 and 3- and I am struggling.

Disabled people tried to warn you

We screamed about the need to normalize masking for public health

We begged folks to wear N95s in solidarity & make them harder to ban

This is fascism. Far right groups like Proud Boys can fully cover their faces, while peaceful protesters are arrested for an N95
A post from r/facepalm. Text reads She was ARRESTED for WEARING A MASK at a protest against the fascists. Meanwhile, these wannabe Hitler youth get away with doing whatever the hell this is Photo on left is a woman in black wearing a black N95 being arrested. Photo on right is proud boys with white gators covering their entire faces

“You don’t need a respirator for pollen, take antihistamines”

“No point masking for smoke unless you’re wearing it 24/7”

“They don’t work for Covid unless fit tested”

We’ve failed at harm reduction. Even if something isn’t 100%, if you reduce risk & harm, that’s worth it!

This is just a reminder that while you survive The Horrors, check in with yourself to see if you need to:

Eat! Any food is better than no food.

Hydrate! It doesn’t have to be plain water.

Take meds! Hell yeah, science.

Touch grass! Nature is cool.

Play! Fun is self-care and fuel for the fight.

Imagine if people thought it was ok to scream at you for wearing pants when you left the house?

That’s how ridiculous anti-maskers sound. We only wear pants because society normalized not being naked in public. There’s laws that state you must be clothed.

We’re failing to normalize masking.

New York Governor Hochul is trying to sneak a mask ban into the budget, despite the opposition of many disabled & high risk people who NEED masks to safely access public spaces.

Criminalizing masks during an airborne pandemic, while measles is on the rise, is dangerous, ableist & eugenicist.
Gov. Hochul is pushing a last-minute mask ban in state budget talks
The governor has expressed support for restrictions in protest settings, while many protesters say they need to conceal their identities to avoid retribution.

In other words, when a mask ban lists a “health exception” in practice that health exception should apply to anyone wearing a mask at any time because airborne viruses pose a health threat to everyone, no matter your age or health status.

COVID, flu, measles, and all airborne viruses can seriously harm anyone, not just people who are immunocompromised. EVERYONE has a medical reason to wear a mask at any time and in any place.

Everyone is overwhelmed, but don’t forget there’s still an ongoing pandemic.

Those with the least amount of privilege, resources & wealth are harmed the most from unmitigated Covid spread.

Wear a mask to protect yourself. To protect the vulnerable. To keep communities healthy for the battle ahead
