The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow.
Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance.
Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.
Texas' only licensed Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu legal interpreter is now languishing in a Raymondville detention center. She’s lived in America for 35 years: www.texasobserver.org/immigration-...
"She is from British Columbia but moved to Texas in 2021 when she married her American husband.
The family was driving home from a baby shower when they were stopped at a border patrol checkpoint. She and Ayla, who has autism, were fingerprinted and detained..."

Come on then, and remove him.
I didn't know anything about the Artemis II astronauts a week ago and now I would fight my way into Hell for any of them.
The wife of an Army staff sergeant, who is set to train for deployment, was taken from a military base where the couple planned to live.
ICE agents had entered the base and detained Annie Ramos.
IT'S TIIIIIIMMMMMMEEEEEEEE!!
Drastic times call for drastic measures.
If you can stay home, AWESOME.
If you can't, please consider NOT BUYING anything that day.
The POINT is the pressure of OUR POWER.

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.
It's so funny.
"The USPS losses money"
So does the federal highway commission. But we all understand that if we didn't invest money in this you couldn't drive anywhere.
But for some reason we've let shithead delivery companies convince you otherwise.
Remember the conspiracy theory about Trump being a Russian plant! Given everything that has gone on in the past 4 years, this now seems more plausible. The Russians plan for the long haul. They think in terms of decades. It makes sense to me.

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization
Reading American history will break your heart a thousand times but it will also fill you with such admiration and awe for all the people who were excluded from the protection of America’s founding principles and fought to promote, protect and expand them anyways
This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.
I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

If Democrats retake the House and Senate, they will come face-to-face with the very real possibility of having to remove Trump’s entire cabinet.
There is no historical precedent for this-this is the real Trump effect: total and absolute corruption of power…
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

As President Trump’s immigration crackdown continues in Minnesota, many immigrants who are detained in the Twin Cities are ending up in a desolate detention camp in the desert of West Texas, only to be released later in El Paso with no money and no obvious way to get home. trib.al/jyi6Rca
BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.
The City of Philadelphia has introduced legislation to limited ICE in the city. The Federal Agents can not be masked, must have ID visible, must have arrested warrants signed by federal judges. They can't attack people. If they can't do this, they will be arrested.

They gave a bunch of roided up thugs weapons and made them immune from legal consequences. You can't really tinker around the edges of something like that, you have to end it
“The brave men and women of ICE and the U.S. Border Patrol are doing their best to carry out these executions in a safe and professional manner,” said Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem
I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally
