Itโ€™s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences.

That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras.

Rightly confident in his impunity.

Notice that he doesn't mention the unprovoked ICE attack on protesters at Broadviewโ€”who were already complying with the commands of policeโ€”probably bc his state cops assisted in that violent attack. He prob thought he could prevent the troop deployment by helping ICE police protesters. Didn't work.

Stop lying. Your state cops attacked protesters alongside ICE yesterday. I was there. I and others were violently attacked by ICE agents. Your state cops acted in concert with them during the attack.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldnโ€™t cut it in police training or didnโ€™t want to join the military.

They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if theyโ€™re pressing L1.

So much to mourn here. ICE shot and killed a single father just after he has dropped his two kids off at daycare. Their justification for stopping him was traffic violations form 12 years ago. Their justification for shooting him was that he was driving away.

A completely needless tragedy.

Zukiswa Wanner is among them. A writer, an editor, a translator, a small press publisher.

Where are the writers speaking her name?

Echoing othersโ€™ comments re the lack of discipline, but also alarming how these videos betray a complete lack of concern over community relations or monitoring and punishment. This kind of stuff is deeply corrosive all around and will absolutely get worse.

The US is deporting a journalist today

Mario Guevara was live streaming ICE atrocities

They grabbed him

Detained him for 100 Days and are sending him to El Salvador without letting him say goodbye to his family

The ACLU confirmed he was working in the US legally

Theyโ€™re attacking the free press

How Microsoft Workers Helped Halt a Major Contract With the Israeli Military A grassroots campaign successfully pressured the tech monopoly to take an unprecedented step toward suspending its complicity in the Gaza genocide.

NEW: Last week, Microsoft cut off services for the Israeli military after the Guardian exposed that they were being used for mass surveillance of Palestinians.

This historic win shows the joint power of good journalism and movement pressure.

Telehealth is a game changer for people with disabilities.

It can be incredibly difficult to attend in person appointments when you have an energy limiting chronic illness.

The shutdown means Medicare recipients can no longer access this vital accommodation.

Restore telehealth!

US culture doesn't reward people for 'having been right' about anything. In fact, this rarely matters. If you are powerful, it hardly matters whether you are wrong. Power rules everything around us.
