I am firmly convinced that every employee of ICE are utter sadists and they're enjoying inflicting cruelty like this. Goddamn them.

#SCOTUS Sotomayor strong dissent on court's decision about #birthrightcitizenship case. 🔥 "No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates. ... Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent.”

What to document during an ICE abduction. (print / share). ICE does not only rely on people staying silent but failing to document their activities. Help keep your community safe by gathering the following information. #3E #StopICE

This. Is. Insane. Read this, please.

The DHS Secretary says Florida will receive funds from FEMA to build immigration prisons. Depraved af.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Five things to remember about war:

Trying to explain to my former Gen Z intern what the second Iraq War was like (he was 1 when it started), and honestly: Just know that every war in my lifetime has been started by a Republican president. Please remember that, no matter what bucket of lies the GOP tries to sell you, younger voters.

Congratulations to everyone who insisted Trump was at least better on the Middle East than Kamala on being once again proven to be complete fucking morons. By the way if you reply to this saying I’m “blaming the left” for her loss you are also a moron.

“He can’t be a real representative of an agency that started as a slave patrol. I refuse to believe that man is a legitimate member of a racist, dehumanizing, gleefully violent, supralegal, spousal-abusing, dog-shooting profession designed solely to protect property and the interests of the rich.”

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

"I will be fine, but Edgardo is not fine. And the rule of law is not fine."

To save runaways from slavery who were trying to make lives in the North “illegally,” local Vigilance Committees formed. They kept watch for slave catchers, secreted away those in danger, and posted placards that outed slave catchers, sometimes hounding them till they left town.

felt compelled to look up ICE authority for warrantless arrests if I'm reading this correctly, the circumstances under which ICE can arrest a citizen are basically limited to 'I literally saw you commit a felony and you're about to escape and no one's gonna be able to get a warrant' this aint that

That's not an arrest. That's kidnapping.

A “shift” never happened. A chaotic raid at a worksite and a warrantless sweep in our communities have the same outcome. Bullshit rhetoric aside, they’re hunting us down while we’re trying to feed you. Who’s actually in charge?

A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

Live your life so millions of your fellow citizens don't take to the streets to tell you to go fuck yourself on your birthday.

This IS who we are. It's always who we've been. White people like me have the privilege of ignorance, and refuse to accept it. This is us. Always has been.

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

All the people I still know in LA laugh and laugh when they hear that "Los Angeles is burning." I made a couple of maps to show just how tiny and localized the protests are. GOPers are working really hard to make an excuse for declaring martial law. People should be very wary of that.

I know it's super inconvenient for everyone trying to go to work and get the kids into summer camps and all that, but the White House is literally trying to start a civil war

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social

The most vital thing you can do right now is spread this message offline to normies. There is no "unrest", there's a protest. It has 400 people. LA does worse when the Lakers come in 3rd in a season.

This is, without irony, the modern version of Cronkite saying Vietnam was unwinnable

The problem is not that there are too many Americans protesting in the streets. The problem is that there are not enough. Not by a long shot.

I'm finding all my old follows from the bird app. Badasses from Occupy. When they share protest op sec, they know of what they speak. Heed their wisdom. #FuckIce #ProtectYourself #MutualAid

Science publications got you covered 🧪

Right on cue

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Intimate partner violence is the exact framework for understanding what is happening, yes.

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

You should still care. It's still killing and disabling people, every day. Oh, and there's a new, aggressive variant popping up. #MasksWork #MaskUp #COVID

I know y’all don’t care about this but there’s a pretty fast spreading Covid variant going around and there’s gonna be a summer surge whether you like it or not. You can, of course, avoid this by getting vaccinated and wearing a mask but you won’t do that.

The House bill increases funding for ICE but $45 billion which is 5 times their current budget of $9 billion. We are seeing the rise of a fascist police state with the ICE gestapo as its vanguard.
