Had you heard about sex workers getting caught up in ICE raids? I sure hadn’t.
Per Truthout:
In other labor sectors, worksite raids sparked massive outpourings of solidarity and creative resistance, including “Adopt a Day Laborer” campaigns and street vendor buyouts. But sex workers are left to fend for themselves.
“Our undocumented sex worker fam are terrorized and without resources,” wrote Cocoa Makati, coordinator of DecrimSexWorkCA. Sex work is migrant women’s day labor; massage parlors are their “Home Depot.”

"The Trump administration’s third-country deportation deals are being conducted in secret, and neither the State Department nor Immigration and Customs Enforcement will discuss them. With the green light from the Supreme Court, thousands of immigrants are in danger of being disappeared into this network of deportee dumping grounds."

From the Disability Visibility Project:
"Immigrant Rights Are Disability Rights"
https://disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2025/07/13/immigrant-rights-are-disability-rights/
"… a true commitment to justice for disabled people must recognize that many undocumented immigrants are themselves disabled and deserving of basic rights, not total erasure from the disability rights discourse."

California farm workers will strike for citizenship and basic human rights from Wednesday to Friday of this week.
Please spread the info, and if you can, please consider donating to the organizations that support the workers. I'll post those next.

🇺🇸Never forget: The Constitution cannot be selectively applied or disregarded when inconvenient. Rights aren’t reserved for the few—they’re guaranteed for all. History reminds us that when one group is dehumanized, others are never far behind.
Your voice matters. Don’t let silence win. Know your rights, and protect the rights of those you serve…
4/4
👉🏽 As Coach Wilder puts it:
“The only way you can protect people is understanding that the Constitution has a role. And we have to rely on that. And we can’t cherry-pick it.”

🚨Attention coaches: You’re needed—not just to teach the game, but to protect dignity, defend rights, and uphold our shared humanity within your teams and communities.
This story should concern everyone who calls themselves a coach, regardless of where they live. Recently, in Manhattan, six #ICE agents entered a public baseball field during youth practice and began questioning kids, asking, “Where are you from?”—not out of curiosity, but because of how they looked.
The IRS Is Building a Vast System to Share Millions of Taxpayers’ Data With ICE

ProPublica has obtained the blueprint for the Trump administration’s unprecedented plan to turn over IRS records to Homeland Security in order to speed up the agency’s mass deportation efforts.

A spike in approval for a minor party is alarming some ahead of elections.

Los Angeles Daily News : "In a scene described as "barbaric"— some two dozen children with their hands chained were videotaped shuffling single file in ICE custody.
Jorge-Mario Cabrera of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights Los Angeles said that its attorneys had confirmed details posted with the video.
The attorneys contacted the children and planned to represent them—adding the children were not accompanied by their parents."
