ICE/CBP 🧨 use explosives to blast their way into a US citizens home in LA while she was with her 2 young kids

submitted 15 hours ago • 114 comments

The moral squalor of Trump has brought us back to the basics — especially understanding the importance of checks and balances and separation of powers. Both the Republican-controlled Congress and conservative Supreme Court Seem hellbent on abdicating their duties to a tyrant.

If as PM says it’s a “moral argument” surely it would make more sense to ask someone who can afford to spend $50 million on a wedding to contribute more instead of forcing future disability claimants, many of whom will already be living in poverty into deeper hardship & despair?

Supremes say parents can opt out of letting their kids listen to LGBTQ stories. Can parents similarly opt out of kids listening to stories that DON'T have LGBTQ themes or incidents? 🤣

Every single day Israel is killing 30-100 Palestinians when they go to try collect food from the Israeli distribution centres. This is so people become too scared to go and starve to death. The world does nothing, and the Media covers it up.

ICE is now changing tactics and arresting people who have been granted asylum hearings. This is both a violation of US & international law that demands immediate attention from all New York elected officials & underscores the urgent need for legal service providers to be at all of these cases.

Lord knows European societies have their problems and maybe "progress" is leaving us behind (whatever that means), but Americans pointing, laughing and lecturing from the deck of their shiny technologically-advanced Titanic even after after they've hit the iceberg is quite something.

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

Not only are ICE bounty hunters, who look more like criminals than law enforcement, abducting people from workplaces & off the street—we’re now seeing they’re being held in private detention centers w/some of the most deplorable conditions imaginable. REPEAT: people are profiting from this cruelty.

Pensioners are not paid "benefits". They are not paid welfare or social security. They are paid a pension. If the UK is ever to repair its broken social contract we need to get language correct. And not describe everything in the language of the anti-state right-wing.

I far prefer a politician who will reflect on what he’s said and done and acknowledge error and express genuine regret than the shallow boosterism of the Johnson’s of this world. But let’s hope that Starmer v quickly admits his Brexit red lines are hobbling 🇬🇧 and their own plans for growth

Sending lots of love to fellow disabled people in the UK right now We are being spoken about as if we’re a problem to be managed instead of human beings that make immense contributions to society Whether we claim PIP or not, whether we’re in work or not, we deserve to be treated with respect
