Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:
What a photograph.

SNAP isnβt saved yet. A judge gave the USDA until Monday to decide how or if benefits go out. They could be delayed, reduced, or partial. Nothingβs guaranteed.
Even if payments restart, states still have to reload cards and update systems, so delays are certain.
Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.
People have power. Ask Target
As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesnβt compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. Theyβre committing crimes against humanity there."

18.09.2025 02:18 β π 2483 π 1430 π¬ 257 π 134The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime.

This #LaborDay, letβs remember that immigrants make up 20% of the workforce.
If 20% of the workforce were deported, the country's GDP would decrease by 12% (-3 trillion).
Hurting immigrants doesn't only hurt them. It hurts America.
Is weakening America worth owning the libs?

Around 10 ICE agents showed up at Malcolm X Park to detain an unarmed man peacefully sitting on a bench.
Wouldn't it be great to see them raking leaves instead of harassing innocent, harmless people and using the National Guard for free maintenance labor?
What a total disgrace.
