Really good guide to starting your own ICE Rapid Response Network if your area doesn’t already have one.

You only need two other people to get started!

Are you a business that's colluding with ICE? Caving to the biased attacks on DEI? Funding this administration for tax cuts?

Guess what? #WeAintBuyingIt Nov 27–Dec 1, instead we are putting our money where are values are.

Remember the immigration raid on the apartment complex in Chicago almost two months ago? The one with the Black Hawk helicopter and federal agents rappelling on ropes? @ProPublica decided to take a deeper look. We found little evidence to support the government’s claims. 🧵

Add ideas!

Make sneaksy little Bible groups which do nothing but explore Christianity, warts and all, esp. colonialism.

Potlucks with banned books.

Have poetry readings for kids.

Stage local productions of Cabaret.

Make education radical because it's being subsumed by Christofascism.
Seriously:

Create radical methods of education.

Book clubs, after school programs run by volunteers who read to kiddos.

Share knowledge with your community however you can. If we get out of this mess, any single kiddo who knows how to read and think will help rebuild this place.

Periodic reminder that this scheming half-wit Goebbels isn’t even a lawyer.
Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

I’ve found that people calling Social Security offices wait an average of nearly 1 hour and 45 minutes, with some people waiting over 3 hours for help.

The Social Security Administration isn’t sharing data about the extent of the problem. I’m asking for answers.

Justice Sotomayor dissenting on birthright citizenship case: "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent."

The media has been doing a bad job of covering Israel and America’s bombings of Iran…and the genocide in Gaza.

Like, really bad.

I know this because @smohyeddin.bsky.social is an award-winning Iranian-Canadian journalist, and she’s this week’s guest on Bubble Pop!

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope.

She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive.

But the FDA recently denied its approval.

Now, her health hangs in the balance.

Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

FLORIDA 🤬

People are sick if they think this is okay. What kind of immigrants are they planning to dump on “Alligator Alcatraz”?

Because in Los Angeles they’re snatching flower-selling grandmas and men washing cars. These are human beings who deserve due process, not this cruelty.
June 24, 2025 at 1:04 AM
So how will they prove someone’s immigration status without due process?
Fuck this shit.
The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.
