👀 The Trump administration has been arguing that one of the people it deported to Mexico — despite fears of persecution — said verbally he was not afraid to go there. Now, in a late Friday filing, they say that was a mistake. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

ICE pretended to arrest a 21 yo in order to force her to call her undocumented mother to come leave the house (where she was safe from ICE arrest) to care for her baby. When the mother came, she was abducted and the daughter was suddenly of no interest to ICE. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

In mid-November 2024, I attended a protest at Santa Clara High School in #SantaClaraCA after a freshman, José Zamora, was incessantly bullied for being houseless and without a mother until he ended his life. The school's "tribute" to him is now making the rounds on South Bay Facebook groups.

The Gaza GFM's are being deleted and marked as spam again. Sadly, there is a generally held, and false, assumption that these funds are mostly scams. I wanted to address that. The Palestinians need these donations to survive amidst the aid blockade. There's no aid getting in from the charities. 1/4
