NO!!!!! With the loss of journalists Iike Lex and their team from platforms like Teen Vogue, we’re losing our greatest instruments in the fight for democracy.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (πŸŽ₯: Elias Eliahu)

NYC youth baseball coach confronts ICE: β€˜I may die here, but they will not take one of these kids' A New York City baseball coach said he confronted immigration agents who questioned minors at a park: "I may die here, but they will not take one of these kids."

This man is an authentic American hero

A Black man facing armed federal agents to stand up for his youth baseball team.

'It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid
IDF officers and soldiers told Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, prompting the military prosecution to call for a review into possible war crimes

'It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid IDF officers and soldiers told Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, prompting the military prosecution to call for a review into possible war crimes

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza.

This β€˜College Protester’ Isn’t Real. It’s an AI-Powered Undercover Bot for Cops Massive Blue is helping cops deploy AI-powered social media bots to talk to people they suspect are anything from violent sex criminals all the way to vaguely defined β€œprotesters.”

US police departments are using "unproven and secretive technology that uses AI-generated online personas designed to interact with and collect intelligence on 'college protesters', 'radicalized' political activists, and suspected drug and human traffickers ..."
