ICE violently detained a Virginia mother driving her daughter to school because she couldn’t recite her Social Security number from memory. “When she stumbled, the agent just lunged at her,” said her 16 yo. She showed her work permit, SS card, license, registration:ICE arrested her anyway.

CBS News' Race & Culture unit is cut.

Weiss criticized it last year after it met with Tony Dokoupil, who ignored show plan & said Ta-Nehisi Coates's book could be "in the backpack of an extremist."

Now: Unit cut & Dokoupil just did a softball Netanyahu interview right before Israel broke ceasefire

every day a new rubicon is crossed

The pardon wasn’t enough. It’s immunity for life.

They are prosecuting her to try to stop her and the rest of us from visibly objecting to Trump's secret police terrorizing people on the streets of Chicago and around the nation.

They are trying to get us all to self-police so they don't have to do it-- because they can't.

They are despised. They are in the minority. They don't have the manpower to achieve their aims. They are having trouble recruiting people who are willing to terrorize their neighbors.

Don't let them scare you into submission.

Literally nauseous about @katmabu.bsky.social being charged with federal crimes for protesting at Broadview.

This is an evil regime run by deeply unwell people.

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo

“I’m an American citizen so leave me alone”

“Alright, we just got to verify that”

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

ICE Is Using a New Facial Recognition App to Identify People, Leaked Emails Show The new tool, called Mobile Fortify, uses the CBP system which ordinarily takes photos of people when they enter or exit the U.S., according to internal ICE emails viewed by 404 Media. Now ICE is usin...

We first revealed Mobile Fortify in June. It takes the CBP system usually used when people enter or exit the US, and puts it into an app to be used on American streets www.404media.co/ice-is-using...

This is an especially worrying statement when facial recognition can be inaccurate, biased, and generally make mistakes. Basing whether someone should be in the US or not, and ignoring physical media like a birth certificate, is ripe for disaster bsky.app/profile/jose...

The US Is Storing Migrant Children’s DNA in a Criminal Database Customs and Border Protection has swabbed the DNA of migrant children as young as 4, whose genetic data is uploaded to an FBI-run database that can track them if they commit crimes in the future.

remember too: this DOJ added approx. 133,000 migrant children, some as young as 4 yrs old, into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS)

They are claiming that standing in front of an ICE vehicle and banging on the hood or blocking the mirrors constitutes "assaulting, impeding or resisting" a federal officer.

He’s back in court at 6pm every day. Curious how long the thuggery (body guard brigade) will last ⬇️

Citing Trump Order on “Biological Truth,” VA Makes It Harder for Male Veterans With Breast Cancer to Get Coverage A Department of Veterans Affairs memo obtained by ProPublica erects new roadblocks to care for veterans with the rare but deadly cancer. The agency cites no new science but relies on an executive order about “restoring biological truth” in government.

Lots of lovely folks want to cook for neighbors, fill community fridges during SNAP shutdown but are intimidated. A mutual aid group in Flatbush, Brooklyn has been feeding 80+ people every single week for a year and a half or so now. Nobody is born knowing how to cook for 80, so here's our guide!

Here it comes, folks. I volunteer at a food pantry twice a month. We got slammed today - twice our usual number of households, a bunch we'd never seen before, and people lined up waiting for us to open. It's gonna get bad fast.

If you see someone stealing food, remember: you did not see anyone stealing food

This is the third U.S. Attorney found to be unlawfully appointed. The other two are Sigal Chattah and Alina Habba. Their indictments stand because they were signed by other prosecutors. Not true for Lindsey Halligan.

Dementia, strokes, Alzheimer’s etc. are not causes of violent, fascist, white supremacist leadership or thought.

Please apply to all takes on the guy currently renovating the White House.

Trump Officials in Charge of Food Aid Leave Their Posts

yeah, i would NOT want to be in charge when 40 million americans suddenly can’t get any food and medicine for their children, while trump orders you to defy court orders and let them starve

The NYT is a white owned and run institution. It's also a fascist-normalizing institution.

A screengrab from the NY Times, under the category "N.Y.C. Mayor's Race": What Zohran Mamdani Learned as an Africana Studies Major at Bowdoin The Democratic candidate has said his education was formative. But critics say that his degree exemplifies how colleges steep students in leftist dogma.

I honestly don't think the NY Times has been this bad in my lifetime, it's deeply shameful.
