How Volunteer Patrols Are Working to Protect San Diego Immigrant Communities From ICE In response to mass deportation threats and mixed messages from county leaders on federal cooperation, San Diego organizers are taking action to inform residents of ICE activity.

A group in San Diego has been patrolling neighborhoods to identify potential ICE presence. They keep watch for vehicles that may belong to federal agencies, and use livestreams, radios, and social media to keep communities informed.

Chicagoland agrees, Get ICE out of our city. Stop grabbing community members off our streets. Stop tear-gassing peaceful protesters. #abolishice @indivisiblechicago.bsky.social @indivisiblels.bsky.social @indevanston.bsky.social @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social @blockclubchi.bsky.social

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

In video provided exclusively to MSNBC's The Weekend: Primetime, immigration agents are seen attempting to pull a man out a window of a Chicago home. Agents also jumped a fence into the locked backyard and manhandled people doing work. Hear from the homeowner tonight on The Weekend: Primetime.

the crowd of a hundred or so community members has taken 26th street underneath the little village arch.

a person speaking from the back of a pickup truck decries the violence from feds in the neighborhood this week, including abducting two high school students and causing multiple car crashes.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Christian Nationalist linked to Pete Hegseth defends slavery as "not inherently evil" Right-wing podcaster Joshua Haymes urged Christians to stop denouncing slavery, exposing the moral rot of his religious movement

"It's not inherently evil to own another human being."

That’s what a right-wing podcaster tied to Pete Hegseth’s church told his followersβ€”while claiming the Bible defends slavery.
