Pope Leo XIV: “Someone who says I'm against abortion but I'm in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life”

How to record ICE:

1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE.
2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video.
3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS
4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How?
5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked.

I DISSENT.

We live in a country where 6 members of the highest court of the land decided it’s ok to profile immigrants based on the color of their skin or the language they speak.
I DISSENT.

SCOTUS conservatives OK Trump admin's racial profiling of Latinos in low-wage jobs Five of the six Republican appointees to the Supreme Court wrote nothing Monday. But their actions, and Justice Kavanaugh's concurrence, paint an alarming picture.

What happened at SCOTUS today is alarming: The right-wing majority allowed the Trump admin, as part of its sweeping immigration raids, to racially profile Spanish-speaking people who look Latino at certain low-wage job sites in the Los Angeles area while litigation challenging the raids is ongoing.

Supreme Court lifts restrictions on ‘roving’ ICE raids in Los Angeles The ruling blocks a lower court’s order that found the enforcement operations were based on impermissible factors.

Today, our Supreme Court allowed a continued attack on basic rights & freedoms.

“We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job.”

-Justice Sonia Sotomayor #momsky

Washington turns out to protest Trump’s occupation Thousands demand the "immediate withdrawal" of federal troops from the District of Columbia.

Thousands of people took to the streets of Washington, DC, on Saturday to voice opposition to Donald Trump’s armed federal intervention in the city.

This is what democracy looks like.

How Trump is decimating federal employee unions one step at a time President Trump has ended collective bargaining rights for more than 1 million federal workers. Unions have sued to block the move, but agencies are terminating contracts as litigation continues.

Immigration Has Declined, But No Evidence U.S. Workers Are Better Off A decline in the foreign-born labor force has not improved the fortunes of U.S.-born workers, despite assurances by Trump officials.

They will keep lowering the bar for those white nationalists to join.

The TPS statute is designed to constrain the Executive, creating predictable periods of safety and legal status for TPS beneficiaries. Sudden reversals of prior decisions contravene the statute’s plain language and purpose. Here, hundreds of thousands of people have been stripped of status and plunged into uncertainty. The stability of TPS has been replaced by fears of family separation, detention, and deportation. Congress did not contemplate this, and the ongoing irreparable harm to Plaintiffs warrants a remedy pending a final adjudication on the merits. AFFIRMED.14

BREAKING: A unanimous Ninth Circuit three-judge panel upholds a lower court's order that blocked Sec. Noem's effort to cancel TPS status for Venezuelans.

(B/c of a prior SCOTUS order staying most of the district court order pending appeals, though, this basically just sets up a SCOTUS appeal.)

THAT'S FASCISM. Fascists are dependent on the "oft-repeated Big Lie" radicalization tactics. If they can make us believe their lies, we vote out of delusion, fear, hate, xenophobia, selfishness, primal self-preservation instinct; RATHER than via truth, facts, logic, reason, democratic social values.

YouTube video by NBC Chicago Gov. Pritzker responds to Trump's National Guard threat to Chicago: 'Do not come'

I’d heard this was good. It is good. Pritzker is entering this fight. Donald Trump is at war with the US constitution and committing daily crimes agst the American Republic. Those who are commiting crimes on his behalf must & will face justice. youtu.be/qliVj3YMN-8?...

Also: Tur and others at MSNBC want you and the Republicans to have empathy for this poor mother, but that would be giving her grace where she had none when she voted for Trump.

Pritzker's instincts and comms have been unmatched tbh

Demonstrators Protest Sheriff’s Office Agreement with ICE At Courthouse Around 130 people gathered at the Loudoun County Courthouse on Saturday evening to protest the ongoing cooperation between Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office.

“By being here, you are actively resisting the current administration and their policies,” said Del. Marty Martinez (VA-29)... “Thank you for the resisting and showing our current administration that you will not allow anyone to be denied basic civil rights and due process".

Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s 72 hour window of protection is over and ICE demands he check in with immigration today.

Mr. Garcia is falsely facing human trafficking charges and facing deportation to Uganda, a country he’s not familiar with.

He asks we continue to pray, fight and resist.

Good.

I visited DC on Saturday. Horrible to get off the Metro to see groups of National Guard everywhere on the National Mall. And at the African American Museum. And the Washington Monument. And, well, just everywhere.
Here's my photo essay of the day.

The Supreme Court could give immigration agents broad power to stop and question Latinos The Trump administration urged the Supreme Court to confirm that immigration agents have 'reasonable suspicion' to stop and question Latinos whose occupations draw many undocumented workers.

We Latinos need to put attention to this case, where the Supreme Court could legalize racial profiling. We cannot allow the legalization of discrimination in all its forms.

"My wife. She cannot walk"

ICE arrests in Va. surged past 4,000, with most detainees lacking criminal charges ICE made 4,179 arrests in Virginia by late July. Most detainees lacked criminal records, while state and federal officials escalate immigration enforcement with National Guard support.

The detainees include Jonathan Escobar-Herrera, originally from El Salvador, who worked as a painter in North Chesterfield, where he lived with his wife and two small children. ICE arrested Escobar-Herrera when he appeared in court to pay a fine for driving without a license.
