I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify.

The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips.

Good job, friends.

Kind of sucks that we didn't at least get a Roaring Twenties before what's about to come

Star Wars. Captain America. Inglorious Bastards. Lord of the Rings. Curious how all of these films have the pinnacles of masculinity fighting to stop fascism and n@zis, and yet…

Not only that, but much of the science community here is already stronger and larger than it was on X.

On Twitter, my feed of scientists who study climate-related topics topped out at 3300. Here, we’re at 4500 already and it’s still growing.

People of Chicago, if they do the ICE raids tomorrow (assume they will), 2 big things:

(1) ICE warrants aren’t real warrants. If it doesn’t say “United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois” and isn’t signed by a judge, it’s vampire rules, they can’t come in unless invited

One of the most important things I have seen about the ICE raids

DONT ANSWER THE DOOR.

Ice can’t come in house without a warrant signed by a judge.
Without this they can’t enter unless you let them in.
Their warrants aren’t signed by judges.

Prep for ICE raids: even though it may say “Police” on their uniforms, Immigration and Customs Enforcement are not police officers, and ICE “warrants” are not reviewed by a judge, and therefore do not meet the 4th Amendment requirements for entry into a home or place of business.

Trump administration strips schools, churches of immigration enforcement protections The memo rescinds a Biden administration guideline that created "protected areas" consisting of places where "children gather, disaster or emergency relief sites, and social services establishments."

Trump has now authorized ICE to target schools and churches as part of his immigration raids. This is going to get very ugly very quickly. www.npr.org/2025/01/21/n...

"immigrants were getting swept up while refueling their trucks or picking up some breakfast before starting their day, 25% of citrus workers stayed home from work. The day after, 75% stayed home. The raids have "sent shockwaves through the entire community," Creamer said. "People aren't going to work and kids aren't going to school," mirroring mass school absences following past workplace raids in states like Mississippi, New Mexico, and Tennessee. "Throughout the raids, Border Patrol appeared to be profiling farm workers," United Farm Workers said. "These raids have resulted in dozens of arrests of hardworking people, including UFW union members." The labor union called the enforcement actions "a troubling preview of what we expect our communities to endure over the next 4 years."

US crops expected to rot across the country as Trump's ethnic cleansing campaign via ICE targets immigrant community. Food prices to rise. Trump's shock troopers detained visibly Latino immigrants and US citizens alike.

It’s fun trying to find that line between “I need to remain vigilant of the horrors afoot” and also “oh no my heart is racing and my jaw is making weird creaky sounds and I can taste pennies.”
