One of things I learned about leadership, is you determine the energy.
If you're constantly negative about people or things.
It turns people off. Stop participating.
Which is important in a Democracy.
I'm not saying having a stance is bad, but can you do it with dragging others through the mud?

I have gotten confirmation from sources inside the Coast Guard that this is in fact true and happened in Key West.
ICE went into military housing and took the spouse of a USCG member who is currently out to sea.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

Sarah Stillman investigates a widespread crisis of deaths by starvation in America’s county jails. Most of the victims she identified had been arrested in the midst of a mental-health crisis, often on petty charges tied to their psychiatric distress.
Starved in Jail
Why are incarcerated people dying from lack of food or water, even as private companies are paid millions for their care?

Democratic governors, mayors and city councils need to coordinate with their National Guard and local law enforcement leaders NOW. Make sure you have people you trust in place NOW. Fascists are going to strip your power or arrest you if you're not prepared to resist.
REPORTER: There are laws on the book that make it a criminal offense to harbor illegal immigrants, like sanctuary state leaders have been doing. Do you think they should be prosecuted and possibly put in prison?
HOMAN: Absolutely. And hold tight on that one, because it's coming.

Hi @ezralevin.bsky.social
I'd like Indivisible's assistance in requesting legislation.
L: Persons having participated in ICE deportation proceedings to El Salvador are ineligible for Federal Service.
Right now, ICE officials are "just doing their job".
Let's let them know our values.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.
An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."
The other said, "Take him anyway."
So they did.

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off.

My detained client was scheduled for a bond hearing this AM in a MA immigration court. He wasn't brought in, and he and his case have disappeared.
I then received this notice of activity on a nonexistent docket in which his name was changed to "N/A"
It's all happening a lot faster than I expected

Would require a significant investment and money but would be a great idea.
When a person is abducted, there's a number to call to report & identify. A habeas petition challenging the abduction is electronically filed in that district, by a lawyer admitted in that district, within 30 minutes of the call. Anywhere in the country, 24 hours a day.
Nothing else is good enough.
