13 arrested today at sit-in outside ICE’s National Criminal Analysis and Targeting Center in Burlington, Vermont

Ayuh.
Proud of her.

Congresswoman from Vermont.

Verge headline: This whistle fights fascists by Sean Hollister Photo: a pile of colorful 3D printed whistles

"I print whistles because reality still matters; whistles get neighbors to come running, make sure enough people are recording, so when the regime pretends there’s only one camera angle of Renee Good’s death, we know the truth."

Aside from agreeing with all of the above, I just gotta say this is sheer poetry.
Needed this smile today; thank you, Pookleblinky. 🙃

Fears of ICE Surge Galvanize Vermonters to Respond | Seven Days The threat of a large-scale immigration enforcement surge in Vermont has galvanized elected leaders and community organizers to prepare with a greater sense of urgency.

A string of violent incidents involving U.S. immigration agents in Minneapolis has prompted Vermont officials & local organizers to prepare in case a similar enforcement surge is aimed at them.

Vermont forbids police departments from collaborating with federal immigration authorities.

If only people had paid closer attention to those warning us that the means to challenging every election result they don't agree with has already been put into place in many states by the GOP.

Sadly not true. ICE holds ~500 people in the Plymouth County jail in MA, ~150 people in the Strafford County jail in NH, ~200 people in a federal prison in Berlin, NH, and a few dozen at four county jails through USMS contracts, in Maine (Portland & Wiscasset) and Vermont (Burlington & Swanton).

I have received numerous reports of a large delivery of unmarked vehicles to the ICE facility in Burlington. We need answers now.

I see. That sounds nice.
These days I seriously wonder if any of us have "guaranteed citizenship" anymore.

"Voluntary" has often been a vague and abused term within the existing paths we already have to citizenship through enlistment. I served with more than a few immigrants who were surprised to learn a few months into enlistment that they weren't required to join the military to become a citizen.

Wait, I thought they said Biden shit Trump's pants?!

Army veteran here.

We have already had this for awhile, and I still believe it's wrong.

Remember how we made the Irish immigrants sign up to fight in the civil war as soon as they got off the boat in NY?

Military servitude should never be a requirement as a path to citizenship. Period.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

In a moment of candor, an ICE agent in Maine gave away the plot
By labeling a legal observer a “domestic terrorist,” an ICE agent unwittingly revealed what the Trump administration is really up to.

This is the correct way to police ICE. And it drives the far right nuts. Good.

Grab them by the purses!

Elderly man in Vermont here: Production season begins only after it's warm enough for the sap to flow, and ends right after mud-season; orders must be submitted before deer hunting season of the previous year; flat-landers are subject to additional fees; may only be worn with blue-jeans while skiing

Immigrant Children Lead Uprising at Texas Detention Center The immigrant jail, where many children are detained, has "horrible" conditions, including "putrid" drinking water.

An uprising of children in a DHS concentration camp in Dilly, Texas!

They focused on the mistreatment of Liam Conejo Ramos, a 5-year-old from Minnesota, abducted with his father by ICE last week

Immigration attorney Eric Lee could hear shouting [and] believed “hundreds of children” took part.

I miss you dearly, but YOU KEEP THEM ELBOWS UP, CANADA!

Vermonter here. Likely true.
None of our states deserve to, though. Canada has stood by us through everything, even when they didn't agree with what we were doing: ALL Americans bear responsibility for allowing our collective betrayal of our most trusted ally. We owe them to fight to fix it first.

The clock is ticking. The February 17th deadline is fast approaching to protect trans health care in this critical moment for Vermonters to stand up for bodily autonomy and the rights of trans youth. There is still time to raise your voice.

Anybody here in VT have any more information?
