About this: This practice of churches providing groceries/supplies to immigrant families who are afraid to leave their homes out of fear of ICE is widespread, and widely reported.

What's different here is the *scale* of operations this one church is overseeing, and how public they are about it.

Woman seen pulled from car speaks out: 'Lucky to be alive'

Aliya Rahman told ICE she was disabled

She told them she was on her way to a doctor appt

They broke her window, cut her seatbelt & dragged her away like an animal

She was headed to the Traumatic Brain Injury Center when they grabbed her.

She was denied access to a doctor & tossed in detention

Tennessee whistleblower says library board chair sought private data as part of state's book purge A First Amendment expert told The Advocate that there are "huge" legal implications stemming from the situation.

Officials in Tennessee aren't just banning books, they're now demanding information on who checked out contested (largely LGBTQ+) books, including names, addresses, and "household composition."

A librarian who was given the directive has come forward asking for whistleblower protections.

Ur telling me what I'm saying is misinformation then straw-manning me with statements I don't disagree with. So idfk pal.

Please show me how this is misinformation? Studies on masks are all over the place in terms of quality, sometimes, but I've read dozens on efficacy. Yes, they do protect you, but not perfectly, and *less if you're immune compromised,* like *I am,* from LC, lol

Additionally, masks are only required in hospitals *if you are sick,* and are commonly worn in Asian countries when sick. Prior to the pandemic, I only saw masking when people were ill. It is not misinformation to say that people with more exposures masking is most effective for reducing sickness.

Masks didn't do a whole lot for omicron, and the data I've seen shows that a mask doesn't offer more than like 30% protection boost if you're around unmasked people with COVID. Less if immunocomp But a person with COVID masking is what will do the most to reduce the spread. Obv 2 way masking is best

If others actually followed the science, they'd realize that masking is most effective when people who have more exposures wear masks. Masks are most effective at keeping *others* safe from *us,* and is less effective at protecting us from others. Esp if you're already immune compromised🙃

No.

Our mask requirement is not "virtue signalling".

It's protecting a) the cancer patient and b) the child who is still too small to wear a mask.

And also--and I can't emphasize this strongly enough--you.

"...the audience tends to retreat into skepticism and the belief that truth is unknowable as a result of political actors employing a firehose of falsehoods. Hence, if truth cannot be determined, reasoned debate is pointless."

All for the comfort of hyper-rich babymen so they never have to look in the mirror. It's embarrassing.

Technofascist social media CEOs are rich because they exploit culty behavior, misinformation, poor education & outrage generation. They're dismantling education because critical thinking skills threaten their power.

I recommend getting connected to the indigenous rights fight where you are, too -- because as you already know, it's all connected. I strive to be a steward of the land no matter where I am, to actively cultivate my relationship with it. Water is Life -- we fight the same fight.

The 'US' is a pretty big country. They can't suppress everyone who dissents. It will spread them too thin and the country's already fragile economy will crumble.

The risks are real, but/and their performance of unnecessary, unreasonable force reveals a fatal insecurity.

Let that stoke your flame
