ICE OUT OF CHICAGO!

Solidarity from Los Angeles!

I often think about how, in mass (and even social) media, stories told about Los Angeles rarely come from Angelenos. They are typically filtered through a personality or correspondent from elsewhere who, we are told, knows best.

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.

"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

as a christian, one thing i love about trump is that he explicitly rejects the teachings of jesus

Abolish ICE

This is it, essentially. The core of it. The goal of ICE detention in the mass deportation system is to make people give up their case without fighting; to have an officer say “if you want to see a judge and plead your case, you’re going to be jailed for months and months, so why not give up now?”

🚨The Supreme Court today gives Trump a license to engage in racial profiling, with Justice Kavanaugh writing in concurrence to expressly endorse ICE and Border Patrol targeting any Latinos they observe in Los Angeles speaking Spanish and then demanding their papers.

California DSA delegates, representing chapters from across the state, overwhelmingly voted to endorse California’s Prop 50, the Election Rigging Response Act.

You can read our full statement here:

I voted for the measure to endorse Prop 50 and I think it ultimately comes down to a political difference in outlook. For me, fighting fascism, even if that could technically help Democrats, and solidifying DSA as a leader in the anti-fascist coalition rather than just a spectator, is most important

He’s showing gratitude by actually trying to take care of people in this country while you and your fascist copilot try to tear it apart.

In addition to being caricature-level propaganda

I love the how this is an announcement of an effort of the Trump administration to make US websites more well-designed and it's genuinely one of the ugliest and unusable things I've ever seen.

The point I was making is that they haven’t totally backed down, is all 👍

We should absolutely continue to fight back, but unfortunately we’ve not seen ICE go away in Los Angeles. In fact, they have kept up their fascist program in violation of the courts’ restraining order.

Now That They’re Free, Venezuelan Men Want the World to Know What They Endured in CECOT Venezuelan men deported by the Trump administration say they endured months of physical and mental abuse inside a Salvadoran prison. Though happy to be home, they say the fact that they were released…

Leonardo José Colmenares Solórzano, a 31-year-old Venezuelan, wants the world to know that he was tortured over four months in a Salvadoran prison.

He said guards stomped on his hands, poured filthy water into his ears and threatened to beat him.

Fascism, folks

NOBODY WANTS YOU HERE

They’re passing these cuts to taxes at the same time as cuts to vital programs for working people because Republicans use state power to benefit the rich (their donors). They do not care about you or “the economy.”
