i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

Logan Airport is losing immigrant workers as Trump administration changes the rules Airport service workers have been quietly let go as the Trump administration remakes immigration policy to narrow pathways into the workforce. Scores of workers have been impacted at Logan — and…

The Trump admin is quietly making it harder for immigrant workers, even those with valid work permits, to keep their jobs.

Trump's D.C. 'crisis' enters 2nd week with more soldiers — and no exit strategy Leaders in Washington, D.C., say they're striving to maintain calm as growing numbers of National Guard soldiers deploy to the city. President Trump hasn't said how he wants this "crisis" to end.

On Aug. 13, there was an ICE deportation flight with stops in Senegal, Gambia, and Mauritania—the 1st flight to Gambia since April and to Mauritania since June. These deportations were aboard a small charter plane, meaning the number of individuals deported to these destinations was likely small.

An unarmed veteran was attacked from behind, sustaining injuries and being dragged into a Portland ice building.

Pentagon plan would create military ‘reaction force’ for civil unrest Documents reviewed by The Post detail a prospective National Guard mission that, if adopted, would require hundreds of troops to be ready around-the-clock.

The Trump administration is reportedly planning to create a new task force of National Guard troops that it could quickly send to quell protests across the country.

If President Trump carries out this gross abuse of power, we're ready to protect our rights guaranteed under the Constitution.

We pray for peace today in the world and in our homes.

"As the lights darkened, as the lights of night brightened,
We would try to imagine them, try to find each other,
To construct peace. . ."

🚨 Armed agents in tactical gear. Flash-bang grenades. So-called 'less-lethal' weapons".

All used on peaceful protesters in LA demanding dignity for immigrants.

This is what a police state looks like. This is what happens when cruelty becomes policy.

We must speak out.

The Trump administration’s disturbing pattern of arresting and detaining American citizens for exercising their right to free speech and protest is not only sickening—it’s a blatant abuse of power and a stain on our democracy.

David Huerta should be released immediately.

The United Farm Workers, along with the entire labor movement, stands in strong solidarity with our comrade, labor leader David Huerta. We demand his immediate release and condemn indiscriminate sweeps targeting working class immigrants.

Happening now: in Chicago, activists are holding a rally in Pilsen this afternoon in opposition to CPD's collaboration with ICE earlier this week at an immigration check-in site.

100 Days Roundup: New Memo on the Current Polling and Politics of Immigration - America's Voice Washington, DC — As we move closer to the 100 day benchmark of the Trump administration, America’s Voice is releasing a new memo detailing the current polling and politics of immigration. The memo, “1...

Quote:
"Support for mass deportation is a mirage. Trump’s mass deportations are unpopular when details are included about who is being targeted and the scope of Trump’s enforcement."

Military style ICE raids in our communities. David Huerta was beaten and dragged away.

Because he saw them and stood up for justice. Because he’s not afraid.

Neither are we.

Countries under Trump’s travel ban are unique subjects of American imperialism US’s cruel escalation of policy puts misplaced target on vulnerable nations such as Afghanistan and Sudan

My latest in @theguardian.com. It is not the nations on the travel ban that are a threat to US security. It is the US that robbed them of their wealth, destroyed their institutions & environment, & then denied them participation in safety built at their expense.

Avoidable if they had just turned the plane around (they stopped there on the way to illegal deportation to South Sudan)—this was DHS’s stupid idea to avoid doing so bsky.app/profile/davi...

Hug your loved ones extra hard and get loud and unrelenting about this regime of the bullies, by the bigots, for the billionaires abducting people off our streets to foment fear & division so they can seize and hold more power. #DisappearedInAmerica

Targeting Immigrants Through IRS Data Will Erode Trust and Accelerate Authoritarian Rule - Immigration Hub

US government using IRS data to target immigrants is a dangerous betrayal of trust. Millions file taxes in good faith—this move puts them at risk and fuels fear.
This isn’t just bad policy—it’s authoritarian control. We must speak out.

Something dangerous is happening in the U.S. Here's what we have to say about it. #DueProcess #ImmigrantRights
