ICE agents grabbed a 16-year-old asylum seeker--which they aren't supposed to do
They kept him from his parents -which they aren't supposed to do
They shipped him out of state, to a Christian ministry, which they aren't supposed to do.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is
Remembering the life and legacy of Jesse Jackson. RIP
America has lost a titan in the struggle for civil rights and racial justice. From his days at the side of Dr. King, to his moral leadership in this century, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. spent his life pushing our nation closer to its own ideal.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.
nursesonja • 7h & Threads Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight.

The nurses are pissed

It doesn’t matter what I think. Also, none of this would ever happen. But if I had a zillion dollars:
1. Run a “we do hard things” campaign across southern and rust belt states. Invest heavily in local, state and regional social infrastructure. Sponser later hours at a library, build a skate park…
Today is the Sports Equinox, one of the few times where many of America’s pro-sports play on the same day. We wish our MLBPA, NFLPA, MLSPA, and NHLPA union members the best during their games today. As you watch them play, remember that they’re union strong!
