A 23-year-old US citizen was detained by ICE for two days. During the arrest, she was called a racial slur and suffered a concussion.

The White House manipulated this image to deceive the public. Same moment, altered expression, manufactured narrative. That’s intentional.
And yes, it looks racist. Using a doctored image of a Black woman to signal criminality isn’t subtle. Expect more of this.
This is a photo of someone being tortured, not someone being restrained

We’ve all seen the videos, but it matters to hear Aliya Rahman say it herself.
📌 She says her treatment in custody was dehumanizing, and that officers completely failed to take her disability seriously.
“He was just lifeless, like he had foam around his mouth. He had tears coming out of his eyes."
Federal agents’ use of chemical weapons has hurt children at immigration raids, while walking down their block, and in their schools.
We, the people, are watching the First Amendment be stripped in real time. When the state raids journalists and seizes their work, a free press is already gone.
The Constitution doesn’t survive on paper alone.
It survives only if we defend it.
It survives only if Congress defends it.
The Department of Labor has just posted its second Nazi slogan (in the original, "Germany for Germans") in the last two days.
No one believes this is a coincidence.
They are telling America exactly who they are and what they intend.
Wow, being called a “pedophile protector” really got under his skin! Good to know!

4 male ICE agents tackle a woman U.S. citizen—lift her off ground with no concern over groping her breast or exposing her midriff.
"Help me! Help me!" she cries out. "Check my ID!"
Agents shove her into back of SUV hitting her head—literally run away from scene of crime.

The rule defines the meaning of a postmark, the date printed or stamped on most mailed items. In the past, the postmark generally indicated the date the USPS received the item. Now, it will explicitly mean the date that the USPS processes the item. https://to.pbs.org/4qiBkTa

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.
