Village to ICE: β€˜Project is not viable’ The Village of Chester responded to last month’s Department of Homeland Security/ICE Notice of Activity with a 59-page document consisting of a letter from Mayor John Bell followed by various exhibits...

The village of Chester, NY, is rumored to be eyed for one in an old Pep Boys warehouse:

Communism, as we all know, is the only system in which women are legally allowed to voice their opinions to notorious losers

Ok so if it was a mistake, why do other ice agents keep using it as a threat when confronted by other observers?

Just imagine if, instead of spending millions on "quantum sensors" we invested in providing everyone healthcare. So many people who become addicts these days do so because of un/undertreated medical issues. But yes, let's continue to waste money on policing instead of actually fixing the root issue

While visiting a Tim Hortons in Canada, I lost my wallet. It was part of a long road trip with a friend. Our first big trip away after high school. I was worried the whole rest of the trip. But a nice Canadian stranger mailed it back to my house in New Jersey. Fully intact, including Candian bills

And if they are not paid, they are exploited or tricked into participating. Because I guess it's easier to believe that than the reality: that people protesting inhumane treatment are using their god-given free will to speak out against what they see as immoral.

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof. What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

The article appears to be partly paywalled and I would encourage anyone who can afford it to subscribe, Slate's got a hell of a sale going right now and subscriptions are how they can afford to pay freelancers for articles like this one

For my fellow brokies, though:

In this video, it seems obvious why an officer could fear she was going to run into him with her vehicle. Wow! I hadn't seen this angle. He had a reason to feel threatened. It is done.

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet.

Those listing weren't always accurate. It listed my house at risk of flood because we had a mostly dried up brook (i assume that's the reason) behind our house.

A Friend’s Death to Mourn, and to Serve Time for An Alabama teen was shot alongside his friend, then prosecuted for his killing. His case highlights a particularly harsh doctrine in American criminal punishment: felony murder.

The seeming disconnect of prosecuting someone for murder over a killing they didn’t commitβ€”what’s known as β€œfelony murder”—has sparked public outrage and confusion in some cases. Today, forty-eight states permit some version of it.

We interviewed some 3rd &4th graders this week about how to cook Thanksgiving dinner. One said just find a dead turkey and cut off its head. A couple said to cook it for a few minutes. So... sorry for screwing up the AI recipes folks! The article was meant to be cute! 🀦🏼

Does anyone know what the actual bubble burst effects would be aside from an unemployed tech sector and rich people losing a tiny bit of cash? Housing bubble was regular folk given out loans they couldn't afford, dotcom bubble was everyday folk trying to make something on their own. What is this?

There's an even bigger issue with Facebook: many local municipalities, police precincts fire companies, local gov departments, etc., only share their news via Facebook. They don't issue press releases or update .gov websites with breaking news or vital info. Instead it's exclusive to Facebook.

As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks β€” a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

β€œShort bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], β€˜you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

Trump Administration to Drastically Cut Housing Grants

This is far worse than anyone expected.

Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the streetβ€”redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.

All as mass internment camps are being built.

Seems like Dem leadership strategically requested fellow Dems who were not up for reelection next year to vote yes. In my book, that's means you're all complicit

So Reps, don't want us to ever have affordable Healthcare and Dems want to instead use our suffering as a bargaining chip, like they've been doing with abortion access, and we are not supposed to hate them for that?
