Fuerza responds to scenes where alleged ICE enforcement is reported. If officers are indeed with ICE, they hit record and spread the word. They also speak directly with those being detained. They are part of a growing scrappy network of volunteers protecting neighbors from ICE. bit.ly/4lgke5N

28-year-old Pedro Luis Salazar-Cuervo, who has no known criminal record, was accused by Texas police of being in a Venezuelan gang because they found a photo of him posing with another man with tattoos, his lawyers say. From ProPublica partner @texastribune.org:

PSA time: I was recently diagnosed with ADHD at 48 (I have had depression and anxiety forever). This video helped me recognize it. The main symptoms in adults are procrastination, distractibility, and forgetfulness. I’ve been on new medication for only a week and I already feel better!

You lose healthcare. They gain yachts. Keep spreading the word.

I have been saying this ad nauseum. We have a Religious Extremist problem here in the US. These are the American Taliban. Dangerous and capable of anything because they "believe" in their cause.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

HIRONO: If ordered by the president to shoot peaceful protesters in the legs, would you carry it out? HEGSETH: Of course I reject the premise of your question HIRONO: Considering that the president in his first term actually ordered such a thing, it's not a premise you can reject

If you think this moment is about one politician or one press conference, you’re missing the point. This is about speaking up for every single American and fighting for our constitutional rights.

Why are these pussies allowed to cover their faces? I don’t understand how it’s legal to be unidentifiable while arresting someone. This man is doing everything right and his palpable fear brings me to tears.

So “pro-life.”

Twenty years ago the Republican party stood for huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east, but then Donald Trump totally remade the party and realigned American poltiics, and now the Republica party stands for...huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east.

I will never again see an ICE agent without assuming they're from Proud Boys or Oath Keepers, a pardoned Jan 6 rioter or a member of the KKK.

William Pickens (born in 1881 to formerly enslaved parents in South Carolina) was a Yale alum, author, professor, & member of the NAACP & the US Department of the Treasury. His daughter Harriet Pickens became an officer in the US Navy in 1944.

Mary Eliza Mahoney (b. 1845), the daughter of enslaved parents, earned her nursing degree in 1879. A champion of healthcare & women’s rights, she established a national organization for Black nurses in 1908 & was among the 1st women registered to vote in Boston in 1920.

Trump ordered ICE to target major U.S. cities to punish his political opponents, citing election conspiracy theories that Democrats use undocumented immigrants to “expand their Voter Base.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Inspire and lead. Thank you Chris Kluwe for doing both tonight for the Canyon Dems. @chriswarcraft.bsky.social

Hey - the genius of American science created life-saving medical treatments, but the geniuses from Tesla and SpaceX fired everyone we need to administer them to patients. But, don’t worry, we’ve authorized hiring some contractors. They’ll be ready by Christmas, if your cancer hasn’t spread too far.

When ICE agents look like this, it is ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for state and local law enforcement to step in and demand they identify themselves and show judicial warrants before detaining anyone from an immigration court. Democratic mayor and governors can take action on this.

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.

With everything else going on, the Senate sent the Big 💩 Bill back to the House, and made some changes. Here’s one:

Hard to argue with that.

In 30 days, LGBTQ+ youth will lose the life-saving suicide hotline—a program that’s supported over 1.3 million young people. When folks are in crisis, this admin chooses cruelty over care—every time. But this is the party of “family values,” right?

California brings forth bill that takes the masks off ICE agents.

SCOOP: The "Appeal To Heaven" flag, a popular symbol for Christian nationalists that was waved by January 6 rioters, was raised over the Small Business Administration headquarters last week.

Trump's Big Ugly Bill is a regressive nightmare, raising incomes for the top 10 percent of earners and slashing them for the poorest people in the country.  It's also opposed by a majority of Americans.  Remember this as Trump constantly tries to shift the public's focus.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Prayers for an “allergic reaction.” But mockery and hateful conspiracies for murder victims who aren’t in your tribe. With no apology or remorse. Fake Christian, small man.

Mike Lee mocks murder victims, spreads lies, and faces zero consequences. No censure. No apology. No shame. In today’s America, cruelty isn’t disqualifying—it’s currency. There are no guardrails left. The brakes are cut, and the arsonists are at the wheel.

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

Melissa Hortman was a leader’s leader. I watched her do the right thing over and over again. I’m so glad people are getting a chance to know a little something about our friend Melissa.

Melissa Hortman was only 55 years old. She had a lot more to do. It is so bitter and so sad that her life was taken - assassinated for fighting for what she believed in. It will now be up to us to carry on these fights.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

Governor Tim Walz, "The way our nation moves forward is not through hate. It is not through violence. It is through humility, and grace, and compassion.

Would you look at that.
