Aggressive ICE stops in Chatham County raise fears among residents - The Current For six months federal immigration agents have been targeting Chatham County drivers, including US citizens and legal immigrants, who appear Latino. The pattern of aggressive actions has emerged In th...

Linda Davis was a respected and beloved teacher. She is yet another victim of ICE brutality. Chatham County has strict strict policies regarding high-speed chases. ICE has no rules whatsoever.

"I've never seen a population more united. If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history."

No question whatsoever. Murder in broad daylight.

One thing I love about New Yorkers is they can just be running some errands and will still take the time to go and tell some fascist MF’ers to GTFO.

Charlotte activists met the immigration crackdown with β€˜bless your heart’ resistance ICE and CBP’s North Carolina operation faced an early-warning system run by thousands of volunteers

My post on Reddit yesterday was worded poorly. I said "Charlotte's Web Isn't Done Yet." Should have been "CBP says Charlotte's Web Isn't Done Yet."

Because CBP was, in retrospect, plainly lying to the public. Again. A point I made in the story published today.

The funniest most chilling thing about this is the question of why this has even come up. Who has a burning desire to… display these symbols ?

Truth Social post from Donald Trump: SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!

Truth Social post from Donald Trump: SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!

The President of the United States is calling for sitting Members of Congress to be killed.

Every death threat against them and their families will be on his hands.

Regardless of your party, every American should loudly condemn this.

Granddaughter of β€˜Charlotte’s Web’ author criticizes use of book title in DHS immigration crackdown operation | CNN In the popular children’s book β€œCharlotte’s Web,” the title character, a spider, uses her web as an instrument of good to help secure the freedom of Wilbur, a pig on her farm.

#Charlotte'sWeb
Charlotte spun her web to save a life β€” that’s the damn point.

πŸ•ΈοΈ Brave. Kind. 🐷

🀬 ICE is evil, incompetent, & missing the message of this antifascist classic. World-class fuckwads.

Read Charlotte’s Web.
Borrow her courage β€” save lives, raise hell & roast ICE.

There's a group of people making an easily accessible database of Flock camera locations (relying on self-reports from motorists and others). So I've learned.

I have no idea. But I was very confused during this season of the Great British Baking Show until I figured it out.

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary β€œRovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Georgia DECISIVELY flipped two Public Service Commission seats to Dems in a statewide race. Dems haven't had a seat on this commission in 25 years. Plus my tiny Georgia town reelected our progressive mayor, so lots of yay here. #BluePeachBlueWave

This has the double effect of personnel not having to make decisions (the racist profiling app does it for them) while also relieving them of responsibility: β€œHey, it’s not me, it’s the app!”

This is incredibly racist, dangerous, and irresponsible.

Yes. The audacity of the deception is the kicker. And also yes, any details you or your family member would be willing to share would be very helpful (discretion assured). Thank you!

I'm researching this right now for my next mystery novel--romance scams, blackmail, "help I'm your grandson in jail" calls--and you're right: every single one of those voices is in the uncanny valley, but people keep falling for them.
