a werewolf in front of a house wearing a ‘BE MINE’ heart and holding a sign that reads ‘THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE’ above a photo of bad bunny
a neighbor set up this werewolf for halloween and instead of taking it down they just update it with seasonal outfit changes. now it’s dressed for valentine’s day and holding a sign with a picture of bad bunny and his super bowl slogan. i love him.

#WALeg Sen. Lisa Wellman, who represents one of the wealthiest districts in Washington, voted in favor of the Millionaires Tax last week.
Listen to her speak about why she did:
A former ICE agent who resigned says he was told to teach cadets to enter homes without a judicial warrant and watched 240 hours of critical legal, firearms, use of force, and constitutional limits training get cut.

If wannabe Nazis now confidently roam the halls of power—and the streets of American cities—it is because Republican leaders have made them feel at home.

2/ That impact of the measles virus on immunity across the board, which can last for years, is why RFK Jr's statements about how getting measles produces more immunity than the vaccine is so dangerously wrong!

This is from 2022, but it’s well worth a watch today after we’ve all witnessed how ICE/CBP lie and destroy evidence to cover-up their violence, even when all eyes and cameras are on them in an urban environment.
CBP’s Critical Incident Teams’ mission was to cover-up misconduct, including murder.
Tenants who live in the affordable housing complex Gray’s Landing, which sits across the street from the Portland ICE facility, are going before a federal judge Friday to talk about how federal agents’ use of tear gas has impacted them. This and more top headlines in the Good Morning, News roundup.

Please listen. Call your representatives and senators. The reforms discussed starting after about 37:45 are necessary. Don't fund ICE.

"Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005."
Let that sink in.
What's happened to three well-known incarcerated activists who supported a 2022 prison strike & were featured in an Oscar-nominated documentary about the troubled Alabama system? They've been moved to isolated cells with little contact with others.
It's straight-up retaliation.
No pay wall.
I testified Friday before Gov. Pritzker's commission studying abuses of ICE and CBP and tried to explain how the agencies went so far off track. It's actually way worse than I ever realized. Please read and share my testimony as Congress considers reform: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...
