Too many Americans either didnโ€™t care or didnโ€™t believe. Hopefully they do now.๐Ÿ‘‡

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoplesโ€™ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as โ€œpure dystopian creep.โ€

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo

โ€œIโ€™m an American citizen so leave me aloneโ€

โ€œAlright, we just got to verify thatโ€

The federal government keeps labeling everyone they go after as cartel members โ€” and it keeps being proven false. These are the same people weโ€™re supposed to trust when they execute people at sea under that very justification?

When the Government Stops Defending Civil Rights The Department of Educationโ€™s abandonment of traditional civil-rights litigation has effectively transported parents back in time, to the era before the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

A good, heartbreaking piece from @epress.bsky.social on the human cost of Trump's gutting of civil rights enforcement at the Department of Education: www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

There was a time, not very long ago, when we didn't know the names of the very richest men in America or, even if we did, we did know that they were inserting themselves directly into our lives.

I don't see why anyone who calls himself, herself, or themself a Democrat would vote for Cuomo. He needs to run as a Republican. That party is built on racism.

And, yeah, it's racism. If Muslims were by and large White and more deeply established in America Cuomo wouldn't be talking about Islam.

No comparison. When Biden so much as tripped, it was a week-long story. When Trump has no idea where he is and drifts off mid-eventโ€” media silence.

This isnโ€™t the first time. Whatโ€™s up?!

Ioffe: I don't think that what's being done to the white house, you don't do that, if you think that anybody else is going to inhabit this thing after you and if you are planning on leaving power.

I beg to differ. This is curated failure.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto

She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card

Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.

She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.

Itโ€™s retaliation & itโ€™s wrong

For decades, Israel and its enablers have convinced Americans of the absurd: that religion grants Europeans ancestral rights to the Middle East, a nuclear-armed occupier is a victim, and genocide is โ€œself-defense.โ€

You may lose SNAP benefits and health insurance, but donโ€™t worry because Trump is building a $350 million ballroom just for you because he loves you.

As Rev. Kenneth Copeland once said about his latest private jet: Jesus wanted him to have it.

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain.

Nobody with any sense or decency should be there.

No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there.

Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.
