We have to stop dehumanizing ICE agents while they are doing their important job of dehumanizing us

ICE arrested press tonight. They threw a tear gas canister into the press last week. This was not an accident.

Release Steve Held.

ICE Is Deporting People to Africa on Nearly Un-Trackable Military Flights Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is deporting people to African countries like Ghana on military flights that are nearly un-trackable.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

"Alligator Alcatraz" is wrong and media should not use it. It's propaganda. Alcatraz held people convicted of crimes, particularly violent crimes.

The Florida camp holds people *not* convicted of any crime. If they had been, they'd be in prison elsewhere.

The site is a textbook concentration camp.

It's of course false to assert, as this reporter does, that leaders of so-called sanctuary jurisdictions are categorically violating the federal harboring statute, 8 USC 1324. The question is intended to introduce some particularly insidious misinformation into the news cycle.

Trump Admin Raids DHS Civil Rights Funds for His Anti-Immigrant Propaganda Ads Trump’s Homeland Security Department shuttered its oversight office, as part of DOGE’s cuts. Now, the office is funding Trump’s propaganda campaign.

Trump’s DHS shuttered its office of civil rights and civil liberties, which investigates complaints against the agency.

Now, the Trump admin is raiding that office to fund his anti-immigrant propaganda ad campaign.

$7 billion of the $9 billion in funds Trump is threatening to take from Harvard go to hospitals. So he is willing to harm, even kill Americas, to make Harvard to come to heel. Par for the course.

These are not detainments—they are kidnappings.

These are not deportations—they are human trafficking.

These are not detention centers—they are concentration camps.

Language matters.

This is fascism.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

"Meanwhile, his attempts to raise concerns internally within the NLRB preceded someone "physically taping a threatening note" to his door that included sensitive personal information and overhead photos of him walking his dog that appeared to be taken with a drone."

I figure you don’t really “keep up” so much as dip into the feed when you can.

Every Democrat who votes for the continuing resolution - or for ANYTHING this administration is putting forth - needs to go before both their constituents in person, at town halls, & the nation, on TV, & explain in detail WHERE their line is. What WON'T they concede? What WILL they stand up against?

Heads-up, Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, and Maine!

The GOP needs 8 Democrats to support their bullshit. They've got 3.

Call now and make 5 of these 9 believe in their souls that they're going to get the fuck primaried out of them if they vote yes on cloture.

Trump officials fume at Zelenskyy for disregarding advice before meeting Officials say minerals deal would serve as commitment to US security guarantee and Ukraine leader shouldn’t have pressed issue

Seems from this report that Tяump and Vance were pissed because Zelenskyy wouldn’t sign over mineral rights without security guarantees from the US. Thats not negotiation, that’s extortion.

The National Park Service Has Removed the Word “Transgender” From the Stonewall Monument Website The letter “T” was also removed from instances of the acronym “LGBTQ+.”

Know our history. Keep telling our history. We can’t trust the government with it. Keep sharing our history so we can hold on to what the bastards try to take from us.
