A newborn in Minneapolis hadn’t eaten for a day and a half.
ICE agents took her mother when she went to work, trying to make money for diapers.
Her 16-year-old and Bri, a local mother of two, saved that baby's life. @chabeli.bsky.social tells their story

When one mother was taken by ICE, another stepped in to donate breastmilk
Moms in Minneapolis are donating diapers, food and time to help families who have been ripped apart by ICE.

HuffPost has obtained a video of a physician trying to give medical care to the woman shot and killed by ICE goons today, and not being allowed to go near her. The ICE agents claim there are medics on site, but witnesses scream that there are no medics present

I sat in the courtroom for this hearing on Thursday and listened to the federal government bend over backwards to try and justify their roving patrols as not at all racist and unconstitutional
They failed spectacularly. Miller’s rhetoric is predictable &dangerous, but also the gov is full of idiots

When The U.S. Government Tried To Replace Migrant Farmworkers With High Schoolers
In 1964, a program that brought migrant Mexican laborers to the U.S. ended. So the U.S. recruited American students to pick crops instead. When they saw their living conditions, strikes ensued.

I mean, if everything is going in the shitter, there’s no reason to have anti-gay people have all the fun; start making religious objections to all sorts of stuff. The Ten Commandments getting put into class all over, for instance. That’s at least 40% religious orthodoxy.
SCOTUS, by Justice Alito, holds that it violates the religious exercise of parents for public schools to have LGBTQ+-inclusive storybooks without allowing parents to opt-out their children from seeing them.

This is increasingly reminding me of the time I shaved off half an eyebrow. It was morning, I was shaving in the shower, I was perhaps sleepy (skeptics may say hung over), and after shaving my face I absent-mindedly started shaving my eyebrow, perhaps because it is also hair on my face?
