Think There’s Nothing You Can Do to Stop ICE? Think Again. Chicago’s years of organizing against immigration raids are a blueprint for real resistance to Trump’s attacks—as even his top goons acknowledge.

This piece is important. Know your rights, and also know that when ICE is disregarding all law, the solidarity to which Raeghn Draper points here must go beyond simply using conventional legal mechanisms to keep each other safe.

I believe the plural is Bills de Blasio.

Years of US police impunity conditioned USians to accept this as acceptable.

lots of people flexing their 'feed your neighbors' muscles....let's keep building on that!

'look, Usha, I thought it was a leather couch'

This looks like a concentration camp.

my dog is afraid of small kids. lady on trail today said 'he probably thinks if they were nice you'd have some.'

"It took imagination to build Alligator Alcatraz in five days, and it took imagination to terrorize communities in the way that they are now being terrorized. It’s not about realism versus imagination. It’s about competing versions of an imagined future, an imagined present."

The Walton family surely does

I will vote for any candidate who promises to put every single ICE agent in jail

you know that bitch got paid for giving up royal lodge lease ...

It took years of shaming before we got NYT to call torture torture (they used Enhanced Interrogation Technique).

Open to suggestions how we accelerate the process here.

lot of dudes watching andrew mountbatten windsor and feeling like they need to shit right now

PEORIA, Ill. (AP) — Illinois deputy found guilty of murder in the shooting of Sonya Massey, a Black woman who called 911 asking for help.

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh, five others indicted over protest outside Broadview ICE facility Illinois congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh and five other protesters have been indicted on federal charges, accused of damaging an ICE agent's vehicle in Broadview​ last month.

These indictments are disgusting. I was there when these alleged crimes *did not* occur. The only violence that occurred was committed by ICE, as usual.

Stopped by @unitehere.org local 100 yesterday to rally with some of the workers who've been knocking on doors week after week across the five boroughs.

I'm very grateful to their leadership and members for the support!

Tell Governor Little: We Demand Answers After Innocent Families Were Terrorized in Wilder We are demanding that Governor Little be accountable to taxpayers for the atrocious events that took place at a family-friendly community event on Sunday, October 19 in Wilder, Idaho.

Is this what the $300,000 was for, Brad? Nice legacy--you terrorize our community instead of feeding it.

over 1,000 killed in the West Bank since 10/7, 45 CHILDREN killed in Gaza last night, confirmation that Shireen Abu Akleh was murdered by IDF....when will the world reign in this monster?

correction -$300,000 he gave out of the emergency fund

too bad brad little spent a quarter of a million dollars to help ICE and killed our budget surplus or we could have fed the 130,000 of our neighbors who are about to go hungry #idpol

On a cross-examination, federal public defender Cuauhtemoc Ortega questioned Bovino about being the subject of a misconduct investigation a few years ago and receiving a reprimand for referring to undocumented immigrants as “scum, filth and trash.” Bovino said he was referring to “a specific criminal illegal alien” — a Honduran national who he said had raped a child and reentered the United States and had been caught at or near the Baton Rouge Border Patrol station. “I said that about a specific individual, not about undocumented peoples, that’s not correct,” he said. Ortega pushed back, reading from the reprimand, which Bovino signed, stating that he was describing “illegal aliens.” “They did not say one illegal alien,” Ortega said. “They said you describing illegal aliens, and or criminals, as scum, trash and filth is misconduct. Isn’t that correct?” “The report states that,” Bovino said.

I post this a lot. But it is YET ANOTHER day when it is appropriate to remember that, when Greg Bovino took the stand in trial of someone falsely accused of assault, the FPD caught him lying about HOW MUCH of a bigot he is.

F.C.C. Changes Course on the Price of Prisoners’ Phone Calls

Today was a hard day. Regulations that we passed unanimously last year, after 7 years of advocacy, were largely gutted. The FCC capitulated to the correctional telecom industry in roughly doubling rate caps for prison and jail calls. I'm truly sorry.

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

CALLOUT: I'm working on a piece about pregnant people or those with newborns/infants who rely on SNAP/WIC, and I'd like to add personal stories to it. If you or someone you know is experiencing this right now or has relied on this program in the past with children, can you send me a DM? Thanks!
