The rally wound down after community members gathered to demand the Sheriff's Office keep ICE out of the Philadelphia Courthouse, where activists say over 90 people have been taken into ICE custody

In the true DIY spirit of PM Press, this fresh batch of fundraiser hoodies has a *personal* touch. They were all hand-printed by actual PM Staff to help us raise money to pay off our warehouse.

The government illegally raided journalist Hannah Natanson’s home, abusing the legal system to do it.

This search flatly violated federal law. The court must order all her property returned and demand the DOJ explain why it hid the law banning raids on reporters’ homes.

They're reskinning the last Chuck E. Cheese animatronics as the Trump Kids singing "CATS" and putting them in the Kennedy Center.

Dear f***ing lord!

Nearly one every three Meta ads showed in the EU and UK over 23 days pointed to online scams

I think this is in earnest. I wonder how many will show up. I hope they at least get paid well 😅

English is not my first language, I am not good with prepositions, I mess up the sequence of tenses because it is different in my first language, I mix up words with similar meanings (freedom =/= liberty, should be synonyms, one Germanic, the other Romance, but there are always subtle differences between those in English), I do not know when to leave out the definite/indefinite articles...

Anyway, I do not have a dryer, my drying rack fits 2 loads. I hanged one load. The next day I hanged another load and thought "the first load will be dry soon, I shall harvest it tomorrow". I am harvesting laundry 🙃

I do not think in my first language, it is mostly English with some words for other languages, so I mess up what I say in Croatian as well. The word "save" has many translations to my first language. So when I discussed which wardrobe my mother should buy, I translated the word "save" as "protect". "Sliding doors protect space". Then I apologised and explained different meanings in English (she only knew "save the file") and said I had to translate it in my head. She replied "Nije tebi lako" which translates to "You don't have it easy", but is used as a polite way to say "You're not normal" in Balkan languages 😅

Sometimes I get a really good quote in.

“Pointing out that AI is prone to giving ICE bad information is missing the entire point of ICE,” EFF’s Eva Galperin told Rolling Stone. “They don’t care if the information they have is good.”

Can someone remind me who the customers are once we’re all unemployed?

I just want to make sure I get this right as the layoffs (including the illegal ones targeting unions in status quo) continue; it’d be super embarrassing to get that wrong.

Motherhood costs Danish women an average of $120,000 in earnings over two decades, according to a sociologist who researches family and economics. Generous government benefits like paid leave, childcare and child allowances recovered about $100,000 of that loss. https://buff.ly/pAtuCS0

Folks in Minneapolis are setting up 'block party' style traffic blockades in order to prevent ICE for brutalizing and murdering people.

Check out their account on BlueSky (does not require log-in). Look here: https://bsky.app/profile/minneapolis-spring.bsky.social

"Twin Cities rapid responders have set up a "filter blockade" at 34th and Cedar and are calling for volunteers and donations. This is a new tactic developing over the last week: community is allowed to pass, but ICE agents are stopped/slowed before they can terrorize our neighbors.

These blockades are a beautiful experiment in improvised community defense. They are easy to start with just a couple friends, and whatever you have lying around.

Let's make the Twin Cities impassible to ICE and all supporting forces."
