Screenshot of an X.com post by LongTime FirstTime describing ICE agents breaking a window to enter a U.S. citizen’s home without a warrant, violently tackling a man for filming them, leaving and then barging back in to assault the homeowner, and quoting a woman telling a 911 operator that agents are inside her house without a warrant and that the person involved is a U.S. citizen.

Continuation of the post stating that adults in the family protected young children in the home and managed to chase away two ICE agents before anyone was detained, noting the incident occurred in San Antonio, Texas. Below is a video still showing law enforcement officers inside a home near a doorway, with one officer wearing a vest labeled “POLICE.”

ICE must be reined in. In Texas and everywhere else: Vote out the GOP, who are letting them run rampant.

Remedios Varo's "Character" captures a mystical, androgynous figure enveloped in swirling, fiery textures, evocative of both transformation and introspection. The artwork reflects Varo's interest in surrealism and esotericism, highlighting her unique style that intertwines fantastical elements with metaphysical themes.
