Huge crowd for ICE out of Austin!

Aziel, a high school student @Austin, testifying eloquently to the Texas State Board of Education against a VERY concerning proposal to require only "classic" and Bible-related texts. @txfreedomread #librarians #kidlit #diversebooks #MegaKidLit

Holding Homeland Security Accountable Reforms to focus DHS’s work and guard against overreach depend on strengthened internal oversight offices.

Day after day in Minneapolis, ordinary people have pulled out their phones and documented ICE & Border Patrol's actions, often in the face of threats and tear gas. They showed the world the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. But what happens when the camera is in ICE’s hands? 1/11

The Insurrection Act, Explained The vague and rarely used law gives the president broad power to deploy the military domestically — but it’s not a blank check.

The Insurrection Act lets the president deploy the military on American soil. It's dangerously vague. Learn more: bit.ly/3GsFBhL

Thanks, Jacob. Lousy picture but oh well!

Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence NATIONAL SECURITY PRESIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM/NSPM-7 MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE                THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

These include “anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity," along with "extremism on migration, race, and gender" and "hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality” - a breathtakingly broad list. 4/12 www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Trump’s Orders Targeting Anti-Fascism Aim to Criminalize Opposition Purporting to go after “domestic terrorism,” the president presents an imagined left-wing conspiracy and authorizes punishments for even tenuous connections to speech the administration doesn’t like.

Trump nevertheless issued 2 orders in the fall that purported to broaden the scope of domestic terrorism, with the effect of criminalizing opposition to the administration's policies, including constitutionally protected ideology & non-criminal activities. 3/12 www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Wrong Priorities on Fighting Terrorism Many in federal law enforcement have blamed their inadequate response to rising far-right violence on a lack of statutory authority to prosecute white supremacists and others as domestic terrorists. T...

Domestic terrorism has a specific statutory definition. It applies only when someone has committed one of a set of serious underlying crimes, not including recording an ICE officer - which is constitutionally protected, and not a crime at all. 2/12 www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

This is outrageous and un-American. Full stop. Let's start with the basics: being an observer or a protester does not make you a "domestic terrorist," as I explained shortly after an ICE officer shot and killed Renee Good. 1/12 www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

The president can’t declare war or lock someone up without a fair hearing. That’s why we have Congress. That’s why we have courts. That’s why we have a Constitution. Stand up for checks and balances. Protect due process. Protect democracy.

YouTube video by Timothy Snyder Timothy Snyder Speaks, Ep. 1: Russia Defeats America

“It’s Nov 8 [2021], … one year out from the … Russian cyber victory over the [US], known as the presidential election of last year.

We are 100 years … from the Bolshevik Revolution, which is the last time that Russia exerted influence on this scale around the world.”

Labeling Renee Good a “Domestic Terrorist” Distorts the Law The Trump administration’s misuse of the term reached new levels after an ICE officer killed Good in her car.
