Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

My god.

“Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

the exact right question if you ask me

"No hate, no fear! Immigrants are welcome here!"

Absolutely massive crowd at the New Yorkers Against ICE march. Blocks long!

"Kirk was not just putting on a show. He was a dedicated proponent of a specific political program. He was a champion for an authoritarian politics that backed the repression of opponents and made light of violence against them."

This opened my eyes.

I need one million repost so maybe we can find anyone help

“Escalates tensions” is a wildly disrespectful thing to say in the face of a 77-year apartheid colonial occupation that has virtually demolished the entirety of Palestine and murdered, dehumanized, tortured, & displaced millions of people.

ICE, Homeland Security conduct workplace raid at Hyundai facility in Georgia Videos showed federal agents lining up workers at a battery plant under construction next to a site that makes electric vehicles and is one of the state's largest manufacturing facilities.

In one of the largest ICE raids yet, around 450 people were arrested yesterday at a battery plant construction site in Georgia. Apparently they zip tied them before taking them away.

They’re not even trying

The 2nd image is an unedited photo I took on my iPhone. What the hell

The auto-face tune setting (1st photo) removed unflattering shadows, natural lighting effects, & any hint of wrinkles/blemishes/freckles. I had to google how to remove the setting. I’m still not even sure it’s fully disabled - no option to “remove” auto filtering/tuning. Just a “minimum” setting.

Just got a new Samsung phone. Took a selfie while testing the camera. The default setting automatically face-tunes faces. Shockingly irresponsible, esp the current AI climate. People already struggle to identify AI; self image insecurities driven by photo editing is already a huge problem.

Trump's Trial Run for a Police State President Trump’s "federalization" of Washington D.C. is a test of the limits of his power -- and by extension of our democracy.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

We are at the point in this country where military personnel & law enforcement personnel & government officials need to say no to the tyrant. We are at the point in this country where Americans serving in government need to disobey his orders.

We’re well past that point.
