US citizens jailed in LA Ice raids speak out: ‘They came ready to attack’ Exclusive: Andrea Velez and Adrian Martinez recount their capture by immigration officers and its effects on their lives

NEW: Two US citizens jailed in LA ICE raids speak out. Andrea Velez + Adrian Martinez were both grabbed outside their workplaces + say agents refused to believe they were citizens.

Andrea was unsure the masked men were officers as they dragged her into their car: “I thought they were kidnapping me”

And mine 🥲

I always ask migrants kids where they want to go and what they want to be. It’s so sad what politicians have done to these children’s dreams

It’s good for people to change their minds, we shouldn’t mock them for it. That’s a big part of the right’s success, they don’t condescend to people and welcome them in.

Yeah. Short content plus lib people whose only commitment to actually making things better is a yard sign

What’s that suspicious looking person doing around here?

Me too

Man, a large part of this app is basically Next Door with a marginally broader geographical reach.

That’s because it is liable to go off by itself and that has caused at least 2 deaths.

It degrades all of us when we participate in acts that undermine our common humanity

Like a mesh network? There are some good online guides on how to do that

NEW: A federal judge has blocked ICE from rapid-fire deportations of immigrants previously paroled into the country — shielding hundreds of thousands of people that ICE had targeted for quick removal and courthouse arrests.

Also we don’t need a liberal unelected shadow gvt, we need a system that doesn’t allow that to happen.

I thin in large part that was due to the legacy media making zero effort to rhetorically defend or even talk to migrants for the most part

Yoooo
the new symbol of resistance picked by Indonesian's against govt repression is the strawhats pirate flag from one piece.

Oh hell yeah.

How about we don’t deport anyone to be tortured?

Before the lock em up libs find this: I’ve been hit by a driver who was drunk or distracted. Twice. I broke my back and woke up days later in hospital. Two of my friends have been killed by drunk or distracted drivers.

The headline like this which lives in my mind forever www.nytimes.com/2021/06/22/s...

Tbc, I don’t think people should be defined by the worst things they’ve done, including people who aren’t citizens.

If you can’t teach your courses any more, and you’re interested in making the available to everyone, hit me up. I might be able to help you

Look I’m all about the D neck, that doesn’t need to be said

Joking aside, I’ve been to some of the hardest places on earth and seen immense suffering, and I believe we are closer to a beautiful life than many of us think. One thing I see consistently, even amidst war and death, is people taking care of each other without expecting anything in return.

« Il y a une omerta sur nos morts » : au Sahel, ces soldats tombés au front que l’on cache Au Mali, au Burkina Faso et au Niger, les juntes tentent de minorer, voire dissimuler, les pertes militaires liées à la lutte contre les djihadistes. Même les familles restent souvent dans l’ignorance...

"There is an omerta about our dead"
In Mali, Burkina Faso & Niger, the juntas are trying to downplay, or even conceal, military losses linked to the fight against jihadists.
Families are often left in the dark about the fate of their "missing" loved ones.

It is a very special thing to be able to assign Scott and Tilly to 100 level courses and watch as people’s political horizons expand.
