“'I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,' the congresswoman said, fighting back tears.

"She described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.”

“'It is frightening in there,' she said. 'It is disgusting'..."

The federal law prohibiting federal armed agents from polling places has been on the books since the Civil War. If ICE shows up to the polls, voters should report it to their local election officials or call 866-OUR-VOTE if they have any issues. bit.ly/4s3UQDe

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.

They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

It’s insane how out of touch this administration is.

Folks can’t afford to buy one damn home, let alone 12.

Here’s an idea—let’s stop the foreign adventurism and end tax breaks for billionaires.

I think a good strategy for your non-leftist social media presence (ie everywhere but here) is to give this photo - the remains of Danish soldiers returning in coffins after being killed in America's war in Afghanistan - as wide an audience as possible. Remind people who we're betraying

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

The DNC is acting to address the national voter registration gap with When We Count, their largest-ever voter registration effort. They’re making voter registration a top strategic priority nationwide.

If you’re aged 18-29, learn about how you can apply for a paid voter registration fellowship. 🗳️

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

This is *excellent* forensic journalism by The Times: clear explanation using video evidence. This is the best of Times journalism.

The Education Department was investigating a Texas middle school for allegations that Black students were being harassed with racial slurs and monkey sounds.

Then Trump closed the civil rights division’s Dallas office, indefinitely stalling the case.
