A reminder that the New England Patriots plane is flown by Omni air who contracts with ICE to fly people in chains to Africa and Asia several times per week.
Go Seahawks.
i think if you post like this without offering concrete steps people can take to prepare for and respond to interference or without any acknowledgement of the success (or lack thereof) of this strategy then you are basically engaged in voter suppression.
Erfan Soltani, an Iranian protester who drew global attention last month after he was widely reported to be awaiting execution, has been released on bail, according to a human rights group and an Iranian state media outlet.
I am currently on my way to another hearing regarding my federal charges for protesting ICE.
When I say our leaders must be willing to put everything on the line, I mean it.
And frankly, I see it as the bare minimum in this moment.
Sometimes I stay up late to clean stickers off books, but since I saw this cover and thought it said "Forensic Pathology", mayyyyyyybe it's time for bed
Not talking about politics
Just talking about behavior.
When someone can’t be questioned, criticized, or held accountable, that’s not leadership.
What do we call it?
Instead of arguing facts, let people sit with the tension of their contradicting beliefs. This is how free thinking returns.
Maher Tarabishi was detained in October during a scheduled check-in at an ICE facility.
He was the primary caretaker of his son, who died last week.
The family is seeking Maher's release so he can attend his son's funeral.
ICE reportedly denied the request.
Unimaginable cruelty.
More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.
Went to the library, forgetting Tuesday is the night they host the chess club I've been meaning to check out. They invited me in, and before I knew it I'd lost to two different people, but I had fun all the same. There's an 82-year-old dude there who's unstoppable.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
"Chains" is a R & B song written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. It was a hit for the American girl group the Cookies in 1962, which inspired @thebeatles to record the song for their debut album in 1963.
I know not everyone follows me on Substack and/or Insta but a quick note that @renatomariotti.bsky.social and I are doing a happy hour in a couple of weeks to talk about our It's Complicated democracy cruise to Alaska next July! Find out more and RSVP here www.travelstore.com/group-travel...
The national rate of pediatric firearm deaths increased by 54% from 2004 to 2023, with most U.S. kids now living in states where firearm injury is the leading cause of death.

The so-called party of free speech and small government is happily supporting armed, masked government agents conducting “show me your papers” stops and brutalizing U.S. citizens.
Their real “party values” are terrorizing communities of color and anyone else who speaks out.
Remember this.
The DJT regime has declared war on an American city.
This isn't about protection.
Or immigration.
Or policy.
Or crime control.
It's about fear, violence, brutality, repression, and control.
WE ARE ALL MINNEAPOLIS.
Stand up and speak out.
Epstein survivor Haley Robson refutes Mike Johnson: "The survivors that don't want to be public are Jane Does. They've been protected and their names have been redacted the whole time ... I don't care if my name is redacted is not."
30 years ago a wisewoman at my first pagan gathering handed me a long branch, saying my wand was within and I needed to find Her, and I did. She's not flashy, but she's conjured much magick! She is one of my most treasured items.🥰🪄

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
By characterizing abortion as health care, international orgs have pushed back against abortion exceptionalism. The World Health Organization recognizes that “[a]bortion is a simple health care intervention.” Numerous countries have adopted laws and policies to align with WHO recommendations.
All I’m going to say is, they don’t care if he’s had sex with children, but if they find out he’s had sex with another man, they will implode…
They have a fcked up sense of morality.
As a former Registered Psychiatric Nurse, I've considerable professional experience around the elderly with dementia. You are right about aggression however PEDO PINO has always been a belligerent asshole. He has a history of telling press he doesn't like to shut up or be quiet and especially women.
I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike across the country right now for better wages and working conditions.
Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.
Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."
Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?
Omg.. c'mon media, when you ask "Why did the president pardon someone who he claims not to know", and they answer, "I haven't seen that." The follow-up is "Well now you know, so what do you have to say"?
This is just ludicrous. "I don't know" is basically "I dont care".
Legitimately, lived in Trumbull CT, in the New York media market. My wife wasn’t registered to vote there, but I was. She woke up the morning of the special election to replace George Santos and asked me if I had a plan to vote. She is neither stupid nor uninformed. Just inundated by campaign ads.
While fun to laugh at folks and think they are backwards and stupid, there is a 425 mile shared border between Kentucky and Virginia and countless overlapping stations that run ads for candidates. It is legitimately confusing to see and hear ads and not be able to vote in those races.
