Homeland Security agents wanted to search an Atlanta protester's phone. So they detained him at the airport, cut him off from his lawyer, and lied to him that they were looking for "kiddie porn" and might let him go if he cooperates, govt documents show.

New: We found cops who kept using Flock to spy on women after they left the force.
One used it for five years after retirement, spying on his wife during a custody battle.
Another ran searches while he was suspended (and later fired) after killing a 15-year-old boy.

It’s so disgusting that this demonic country waged a genocide of hellfire on Korea,“forgot” about it, kept the north under siege of total sanctions for 75 years, and now returns to simply congratulate itself for its bloodlust with (barely) interactive war porn #AlMawtLiAmrika

I call on all elected officials who have professed to care about accountability for Hind Rajab's murder and for other crimes against the Palestinian people to support our filing, pressure the DOJ to initiate an investigation/prosecution, and to pass the Justice for Hind Rajab Act
I visit women’s prisons all over the country and have to plan VERY carefully everything from my underwear to my perfume (which is often banned and I had to stop using fabric softener) to my jewelry (if at all) to the color clothes or type of fabric I can wear to my shoes. It’s all an exercise in futility for many families who cant afford the cost of keeping up with something that changes at every facility

The NFL is going to kill one of their players. This is the craziest shit I’ve ever heard. “Just don’t sleep because it’s dangerous. Also still play” I’m not going to shut up about this.

The hardest part of war is not only losing your home and your job, but also losing the ability to provide your children with their most basic needs, while trying with every bit of strength you have left to keep standing for their sake.
All I wish for today is to be able to provide food for my children, medical treatment for my family, and give them some sense of safety amid all this suffering.
I haven’t received any donations for days, and I am still trying to meet my family’s basic needs amid extremely difficult living conditions. I cannot hide how worried I feel as I think about how to provide food and medicine for my children.
I am not asking for much. I am simply trying to provide my family with the most basic necessities of life. But I can no longer face all these burdens alone.
Please, do not leave my family to face these circumstances alone. Your donation, no matter how small, or even sharing my post, could help me provide food and medicine for the people I love and give us some hope to keep going for another day.

I’m trying to raise $100 today for my little brother’s inhalers. He suffers from asthma, which worsens in winter, and his medication has run out. We need this amount every month. I hope a kind heart can help ease his suffering. Every contribution matters.
