Is ICE building a βblack boxβ detention center where you live?
The rogue agency is spending hundreds of millions of dollars buying up empty warehouse space across the country to hold detainees.
Hereβs what you should know β and what can be done about it.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists.
Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews.
All Black. All doing their jobs.
Trumpβs efforts to interfere in midterms becoming clearer & more dangerous every day:
-using ICE to terrorize blue states & cities
-seizing ballots in heavily Dem counties
-prosecuting 2020 enemies
-extorting states for sensitive voter data

When Trump is finally gone from office there will be many reparations necessary.
I'm really looking forward to this one.
Democrats' demand that Stephen Miller is fired as a condition of voting for ICE funding is one of the smartest moves they've made under Trump.
Miller is a loathsome figure who I imagine has rock-bottom likability numbers. Democrats should try to raise his public salience as often as possible.
This is why everyone should ignore the stories about Trump's de-escalation. The administration is *not* pivoting. It is pretending to pivot until the heat from the public and Congress dies down. Meanwhile, on the ground, it's more of the same, with slightly conciliatory language before the cameras.

From 2016, a great one from TD Lind. (Excellent animation.)
Well, they better cry blood not tears
Well, have mercy for all these years
They sold lies like the devil
keeping good folks down
They keep the truth from the people
So the lies become the truth
Bow down
