ICE under Trump 2.0 built an unprecedented media operation - deploying videographers to raids, pumping out edgy social posts, swiping pop music for hype videos - and the main metric for evaluating its impact shows that Americans now hate ICE more than ever

The Deputy Attorney General just rescinded the policy against no knock warrants in most cases. That policy was an important public safety measure. Restricting their use saved lives. Breonna Taylor died because of one. www.cnn.com/2022/02/22/u...

14 measles cases reported at El Paso ICE tent camp The latest outbreak comes after a spate of COVID-19 and tuberculosis cases were reported at Camp East Montana, which holds more than 3,000 immigrants.

1) Realize folks are on #Texas votes! But @repescobar.bsky.social confirmed 14 measles cases at El Paso ICE camp - an outbreak for the highly infectious disease, per the CDC. In addition to 3K people at camp, 'hundreds of El Pasoans employed there'

It’s now past 7 pm and the long lines seen all day at McAllen’s Lark Community Center are closed but anyone in line will get to vote.

Voters have averaged an hour to an hour and a half waiting to cast their ballots.

The numbers are staggering:

Rent is now unaffordable for a record *half* of U.S. renters.

Some 30 million jobs pay less than $15 an hour. The average wage needed to afford a one-bedroom apartment has climbed to $28.17 β€” nearly four times the federal minimum wage, which hasn't gone up in 16 years.

Amazing work by the Legislature to study a building practice that's fairly standard across the world, which cuts costs significantly and allows for much better living spaces.

But rather than look at nations where these buildings exist, they asked California fire departments to share their vibes.

Kid came home with a 3D printed ICE whistle one of her classmates gave out to everyone and knew exactly what to do and what it is used for. I'm happy she has one, but I'm sad she needs to.

Today should be your 38th birthday..
When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Who's the Illegal Alien, Pilgrim?
1978
offset lithograph on paper

by

Yolanda LΓ³pez
born 1942, San Diego, CA; died 2021, San Francisco, CA

Yolanda LΓ³pez created this print in response to President
Jimmy Carter's controversial immigration plan, which included efforts to limit amnesty for undocumented immigrants already in the United States. In her image choices and composition, the artist cleverly subverts narratives of legal and illegal, questioning
America's colonial past. The Aztec warrior's posture recalls
James Montgomery Flagg's iconic Uncle Sam "I Want You for U.S. Army" poster; he points to a "pilgrim," referencing the first European settlers who came to the Americas without documentation. Lopez's print turns the tables on immigration debates and who can lay claim to contested lands.
