Trump Deploys Federal Forces—States Push Back Against Abuse of Power Trump is using the military and federal law enforcement to build out a paramilitary policing force across the country.

"Trump is building out a paramilitary policing force unaccountable to the public. But states have tools to resist this dangerous abuse of power and protect communities from intimidation."

White and blue text: "Know Your Rights when interacting with federal agents, local law enforcement, or military troops: If you get stopped, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, walk or drive away. If you’re questioned, you can say, “I want to remain silent.” In some cases, you may be required to provide your name, address, immigration status, and/or ID. If an official asks to search you or your belongings, you have the right to say no, but do not obstruct access. They may have authority to conduct the search anyway. If they begin searching you or your vehicle, say clearly: “I do not consent to a search.” You do not have to unlock your phone or give government officials your password without a warrant. For additional security, turn off biometric identification such as Face ID. If law enforcement officers arrest you, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say, or agree to anything without a lawyer present. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries." Light blue ACLU logo.

White and blue text: "Know Your Rights when witnessing federal agents, local law enforcement, or military activity in public: You have the right to talk about and publicize truthful information that you obtain lawfully, including about what law enforcement officers are doing and where they are doing it. You have the right to tell people their legal rights. If you are a lawyer, make clear you are not giving legal advice. You have the right to photograph or film anything in plain view, including federal buildings and law enforcement. These officials can’t confiscate or demand to view your photographs or video without a warrant, nor can they delete data under any circumstances. However, they may order you to move a reasonable distance away. If you think a command is unlawful, it’s safest to follow the order, document the interaction, and challenge it later. You can ask for officers’ names and badge numbers, as well as who to call if there are follow-up questions." Light blue ACLU logo. Black background.

Whether you're in Chicago or any other U.S. city, remember federal agents and military troops are bound by the Constitution.

Know your rights if you're approached by federal forces.

Sailing for Gaza A message from a participant in the Thousand Madleens to Gaza flotilla, which aims to deliver humanitarian aid to starving Gazans.

On October 1, the Israeli military attacked the Sumud flotilla as it attempted to break the siege around Gaza to deliver much-needed humanitarian aid. Protests ensued.

But another flotilla is right behind Sumud. We present a statement from one of the participants.

Hinojosa also cautions that a version of El Salvador’s law could make its way to the United States as states pass more abortion bans following the end of Roe v. Wade.

While exact numbers are difficult to ascertain, one woman who spent time in prison in El Salvador for a miscarriage estimated “that 90% of the women who are in prison in El Salvador are in prison for this,” says Hinojosa.

A new investigation by Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Maria Hinojosa looks at reproductive rights in El Salvador, which has one of the world’s most restrictive anti-abortion laws and has imprisoned women who suffered obstetric emergencies like miscarriages or stillbirths.

(I haven't bothered to unpack the truth of this claim nor am I familiar with the family's history since then, or her actual proximity to that family, etc.)

Not sure how many of you saw the gross hasbara about a "zyklon-b heiress on the hamas flotilla" but that particular participant in the Global Sumud Flotilla might be in greater danger in the hands of Israel, should they chose to hold her accountable for her family's crimes during the Nazi regime.

The lesson of Zionism is that nationalism, statecraft, and colonialism can make genocidairés out of anyone.

Reminder that "America First" is a Klan slogan.

Possible illegal interception by Israel's naval commando unit of Global Sumud Flotilla may be within the hour. GSF radars currently show a concentration of roughly 12 unidentified vessels, 5-15 miles from the flotilla.

In ICE Detention, Rising Deaths and Neglect: ‘They Wouldn’t Really Do Anything’ Recent incidents include a man who died awaiting surgery in Georgia and a woman’s miscarriage in California. Meanwhile, suicide attempts are rising.

"In at least one case, the lack of care has also extended to an expectant mother. This week, The San Francisco Chronicle told the story of Angie Rodriguez, a 26-year-old San Jose, California, woman who discovered she was pregnant, and then miscarried while in ICE custody."

Any dipshit making a martyr of Charlie Kirkkk needs to be challenged to state on the public record that they think the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake. Make them own that shit publicly. Better yet if you can get them to state that it is somehow "anti-white" or some such nonsense. No more hiding.

A masked agent shot a pepper ball at @cbschicago.bsky.social reporter Asal Rezaei. She described the attack on social media, saying, “An ICE agent took a direct shot at my car today. Absolutely unprovoked. My window was open and chemicals went all over my face. Been puking for two hours.”
