ICE has spun a massive surveillance web. We talked to people caught in it The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Border Patrol, is using a broad web of surveillance tools — purchased as its budget has ballooned under this administration — to monitor, apprehend and intimidate the people it seeks to deport and the U.S. citizens critical of its policies.

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February.

A record number of Americans are withdrawing from their 401ks to cover expenses.

This is an attack Gillick Competence, and without a doubt the beginnings of an assault on the supply of birth control to young people.

I was 17 when I started taking HRT. If you’re over 16, then by English law you can legally consent to your own healthcare.

A study by the Center for American Progress has noted that the daily cost of the war on Iran could provide SNAP food benefits for two million Americans for a year.

Kind of reminds me of another country we invaded recently

23 year old Ruben Ray Martinez’s last words? “I’m sorry sir”.

ICE shot him 3 times and killed him.

Renee Good’s last words? “It’s ok I’m not mad”.

Alex Pretti’s last words? “Are you ok?”

These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors.

Abolish ICE

Asking the wrong question is one of the oldest disinformation ploys.

The right question is NOT whether Ayatollah Khamenei's regime was evil and a sponsor of terrorism.

The RIGHT question is whether simply bombing Iran will lead to a change for the better or just make things worse.

Trump destroys.

The location of the plaque that was just hung, is in a place that it will not be visible to the public. While I am thankful for this first step, our lawsuit continues until they plaque is hung in accordance with the law.

Thank you! At an event last night I said "If the word hope doesn't work for you try, 'Never fucking surrender.'" The word hope seems too sunny to a lot of people, but the heart of it as I'm interested in it is: we make the future in the present, if we show up, and that never surrender part.

Rebecca Solnit Says the Left’s Next Hero Is Already Here

This happened. The print interview was edited in ways that feel very jumpy, but I got to say some things. Like: Maybe changing the world is more like caregiving than it is like war. Too many people still expect it to look like war. [and then there's a crazy jump-cut w/out transition.]

Oil built the Persian Gulf. Desalinated water keeps it alive. War could threaten both As the Iran war widens, experts say the Middle East’s real strategic weak point may be water – not oil.

The desalination plant attack in Israel mentioned at the top of the thread appears to have been a misidentified video of a flood from in December. That means the US appears to have struck a desalination plant in Iran first.

This sobering AP article explains why that’s insanely dangerous.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

We're running a dangerous experiment on our young people. They're probably the most consistently sleep deprived cohort of humans of all time. This is a serious problem, and likely a major contributor to mental health challenges and learning/critical thinking/brain development in this population.

Looks like he finally got to see his wife.

Brian McGinnis, the Marine veteran who was protesting against Donald Trump’s war with Iran, confirms that his arm was broken yesterday after being manhandled by Senator Tim Sheehy and Capitol police.

Bury them in a lawsuit.

Is a Senator who interferes with Capitol Police to break the bones of a Marine Corps veteran who's staging a protest subject to arrest for battery, or does that somehow fall under the Senator's constitutional privilege?

Yet another lie this administration has told, how may deaths have they hid from us?
