Federal law requires immigration officers to identify themselves and state their authority to detain someone “as soon as it is practical and safe to do so”. If agents do not identify themselves, a person may reasonably believe they are being attacked or kidnapped by criminals, not law enforcement.

I hate having to do this but I've launched a GFM. My beloved cat Emily needs expensive surgery to remove malignant tumors and simultaneously my (vital) car needs expensive work done. I'm in the hole. Any help - even sharing this around - would be much appreciated. www.gofundme.com/f/help-cure-...

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

I enjoy how Americans will post an image of a man bravely standing in front of a tank at Tiananmen every year to commemorate the wickedness of violence against protestors and then see a protester get trampled by a cop on horseback on CNN in LA and say “well what did he do wrong to deserve that?”

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but the Speaker of the House calling for the Governor of California to be tortured seems like it should be a pretty big story.

If Trump, as his cult followers claim, is playing 4D chess. Why hasn't anyone challenged him to a game of regular chess?

People tried so hard to follow the law, Byzantine and unjust as it is. They showed up at meetings, filled out the paperwork, went to the courthouse. You responded by kidnapping them in front of their children and dragging them to black sites. This is what’s left. This is all that’s left.

For most Jews, Israel was not about settler colonialism. It was supposed to be a safe homeland for a traumatised generation post-Holocaust. It was, in the Jewish consciousness, a homecoming to a land we’d been expelled from. What it’s become fills me with grief, rage & shame I can’t even articulate.
