A federal research lab formerly known as the National Renewable Energy Laboratory laid off 134 employees this week.

The U.S. Department of Defense has barred military personnel from enrolling in courses at many of the nation’s top universities, including Harvard, Yale, MIT, and Johns Hopkins. A leaked email is said to contain the full list of affected schools. Shared by MeidasTouch.

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Verge headline: ICE is pushing Minneapolis underground by Gaby Del Valle Photos by Jack Califano Photo depicts a white brick wall plastered with two recurring posters: One that says Alex Pretty ICU Nurse - Murdered by ICE, shows his photo with red highlights. Another is similar but reads Renee Nicole Good American Mom - Murdered by ICE

ICE may have lost the battle for public opinion, and its operation may be hampered by local pushback, but it has succeeded in one respect: It has instilled terror in Minnesota’s immigrant communities, forcing them into the shadows.

Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

DHS’s account of two Venezuelans shot by border patrol falls apart in court: ‘a smear campaign’ Immigration officials said agent shot two ‘vicious gang members’ in Portland, but records obtained by the Guardian reveal US prosecutor contradicted claims

How long do we let federal agencies lie to us? There's got to be accountability for lying and deception.

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government.

But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

Why are the men’s names redacted and the victims names exposed?

Inside the resistance with Will Stancil "It's something I could do to keep them from stealing my neighbors."

"ICE guys are pretty miserable. I don’t think morale is particularly high for them. They’re freezing, they’re getting shouted at. They can’t go anywhere without being tailed by 5 cars. They get out and immediately there's a crowd of 100 people shouting at them, blowing whistles as loud as they can."

“Donald Trump, when you declare future elections ‘rigged’ before a single ballot is cast and use that lie to scheme about seizing control of voting or ‘finding’ past ballots, you are not protecting elections — you are tampering with them. You have no constitutional authority to run,

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year:

“As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”

What's most amazing about this is the fact that the WSJ needed a “study” to figure it out.

I've been watching the news and reading the Internet for weeks -

When do millions of us march to Washington, drag all these criminals that have subverted our Constitution out of our buildings, deal with them roughly and restart our Democracy?

It is up to us folks, no-one is going to save us.
