For the first time this publicly, I shared this weekend a snapshot of the bullying I’ve experienced in my life & how my dad kicked me out as a teen for being gay. Hoping to inspire folks to watch their words, especially to their children. It’s long but sharing here (thread):

A recent class action lawsuit brought by Haitian workers at the plant claims that they have been segregated onto a night shift and forced to work at “dangerously fast speeds.” Now, they're going on strike. From our colleagues at @FERNnews: motherjones.com/politics/2026/…

ICE is ignoring rules put in place to avoid family separations, researchers say. Many mothers “had no contact with their children…for days or weeks.” motherjones.com/politics/2026/…

Two former FBI special agents sued agency director Kash Patel in federal court, claiming they were fired because of their work on ‌the investigation into President Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election reut.rs/4uFREAb

"They can't keep doing this to people. He took my son's life, and then DHS protects him with their misrepresentation of my son," Rachel Reyes says. "This whole situation is wrong. It should have never happened." to.pbs.org/3PkWKlh

40% of Americans describe the US as an oligarchy. As a veteran of 2 wars, how do you respond? Rep Crow: They see authoritarianism around the country, Trump weaponizing DOJ, arresting & murdering Americans. None of this is normal. Our Constitution, our democracy are under assault.

Name another song that mentions the word "Hot." 🎶 Written by Marc Bolan and recorded by T. Rex, the song "Hot Love," was at #1 on the UK Singles Chart on March 19, 1971. Released as a stand-alone single, the group's first #1 hit stayed at the top for 6 weeks. It didn't do as well in the US, peaking at #72 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Iran is "a war without a strategy," former U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says, as he warns that threats to global stability are escalating daily.

ICE forced medical staff to give "powerful sedatives" to mental health patient—then "forcibly removed" him from hospital. Just 1 hour after federal judge ordered that he not be moved. Agents order staff to drug him "without a medical purpose" and "secreted him out a back exit" of the hospital to avoid being seen. His lawyer cannot visit him now that he's been taken from Minnesota to Texas—and he is functionally unable to have conversations over the phone. "It is unclear to his family and counsel what, if any, treatment he is receiving." Adrian Sotelo Guzman was legally in the U.S. as a DACA recipient—and then granted parole so he could continue to receive medical care.

This was California’s Refugio Beach in 2015 after the Sable pipeline failed & spewed over 100,000 gallons of oil. The pipeline has been closed ever since. But last week, the U.S. gov. recklessly restarted it, ignoring the safeguards the state has in place. oceana.ly/47cJ6Xv

Today was an extremely emotional day. The tears came and went and came again. During my walk I stopped at the park I took my doggo to. I sat on a bench, cried more. I miss him. I miss a lot of people. Some days are harder than others. Give yourself grace 💕

The Pentagon is planning to maintain the National Guard's federal mission in Washington, D.C., until Jan. 20, 2029, through the rest of President Trump’s second term, according to two U.S. officials. abcnews.link/xGIIRm3

#BREAKING: Psaki: “Some DHS contractors told White House officials they were asked to PAY Corey Lewandowski. The big allegation in this piece is about the private prison company GEO Group. It is one of the biggest private prison companies in the country and is a key part of ICE’s system of detention centers across the country. A senior DHS official…told NBC News that after Trump was elected, during the transition, Lewandowski told the founder of GEO Group that he wanted to ‘be paid in exchange for protecting and growing GEO Group’s DHS contracts.’”

A year ago this week, Ruben Ray Martinez, a 23-year-old U.S. citizen, was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Texas. But it was not until this past February, 11 months after the shooting, that ICE confirmed its involvement. It's now become the first publicly known instance of ICE fatally shooting a U.S. citizen as part of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. While the Department of Homeland Security says Martinez intentionally rammed his vehicle into an agent, recently released body cam footage — which shows shots being fired into Martinez's vehicle — calls that narrative into question. And one year later, Martinez's family is still searching for answers. @GeoffRBennett spoke with Ruben Martinez's mother, Rachel Reyes, and her attorney, Charles Stam.
