ICE arrested an Oregon shop owner who had her green card in her pocket: ‘They didn’t care’ Juanita Avila later helped expose ICE’s ‘arrest first, justify later’ tactics in a lawsuit that won a major victory for immigrants’ rights

NEW: ICE tackled + arrested Juanita Avila, an Oregon shop owner who is a legal permanent resident and had her green card in her pocket.

When she asked through sobs why they didn't believe her, one masked agent replied: “Because they lie all the time.”

Video + interview with her and her daughter:

Dolly Parton is literally the only good billionaire and proof we don't just actively hate people with money simply for having it.

We hate you because you're all fucking monsters.

One of the many questions we need to be asking every elected official, particularly as midterms roll in, is “why is there money for a war Congress didn’t vote for and most voters don’t want, but none for health care?”

(Or schools, or eldercare or universal daycare…)

We made it to Friday, peoples. Yes, fresh fuckery can (and likely will) come over the weekend, too, but hopefully most of us can sleep in a little before dealing with it.

tbf 10 points after a full court press from admin and influencers all week armed with a whole chapbook of talking points is a pretty shitty outcome

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, stoking labor market worries The U.S. economy has remained a mixed bag, in part because of a government shutdown and a lack of clarity over the Trump administration's tariff agenda.

Sorry, hit send without the link….

The first time I “chatted“ online, my dad was teaching me to use punchcards to talk to somebody in an office across the country.

The first time I dialed into a chat room (yes, dialed in, using a handset and a hot plate) the only place to go was the Bell Labs bulletin board.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

We don’t yet know if Estefany Rodríguez’s detention was in retaliation for her reporting but we certainly wouldn’t be surprised.

ICE abductions of noncitizen journalists take the reporters best equipped to cover immigration enforcement off the beat.

YES! Do a victory dance that the puppy-killer is out, then we need to refocus on those still actively abusing.

What they want is access to everyone's internet activity. They want to know what you're watching, reading and whacking to. They want to shame you at will with something like, "Weren't you looking at tentacle porn?" The internet could go from the freest to the most restricted mode of communication.

TFW you’re not really paying attention because it’s early, and the bus pulls up and you get on and sit down… Then think, “am I on the right bus?“
