Look. If anti abortion activists are legally allowed to record and photograph people (including patients! with a right to privacy!) entering and leaving abortion clinics...then anyone in the US is allowed to photograph or record ICE in any public space. Period.

Look. Despite all the lying promises to his vile base, Trump has deported FEWER people than Biden. Period.
But he's deported people lawfully here. And he'll seek more (including to citizens) bc of the drop in number of border crossings. It's violence motivated by trying to cover up all his lies.

Share wide and far!!!!🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 I saw an ER nurse recommend anyone who is assaulted by ICE and seeking emergency care ask for a forensic nurse exam. They are trained in documenting for legal purposes. That can be held up in a court of law. – @illestdivinity 💯

An ICE agent BLINDED this 21 year old for protesting (peacefully). We don't BLIND people here, in this country, according to the evangelicals shouting about "sharia" law (where in their narrative, people are stoned, blinded, amputated, etc.) This is HORRIFIC.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"
"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"

A St. Paul resident says federal officers knocked on her door and asked her to identify Hmong and Asian households in her North End neighborhood last week.

Don't be frightened by the ugly, hateful rhetoric of Valentina Gomez, who smiles as she calls for expulsion of specific ethnic and religious groups from the US. She's also calling for violence against undocumented people (including Latina/os). She's a bigot with lipstick.

Just in case anyone has doubts about Trump's plans for the midterms, he now openly admits that he wishes he had order troops to seize all voting machines in 2020.
With no one in the White House, Pentagon, or DOJ to stop him, he'll do it this time--unless Congress stops him first.

#hboindustry is entertaining, yes, but also SO smart, so brilliant, about RACE.

The DOJ is more than three weeks late in delivering the Epstein Files. In those three weeks:
- Trump declared himself acting President of Venezuela
- ICE murdered a woman in Minnesota
- Trump is preparing an invasion of a NATO ally
- Trump initiated a criminal investigation of Fed Chair Powell

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.
Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

They're planning to start openly stealing elections.
This week: we execute a U.S. citizen.
Next week: we take over elections to stop “fraud.”
It's so transparent what's going on here.

The only thing the footage posted by JD Vance "corroborates" is that there were 2 women, 2 US citizens, 2 white women, who felt secure enough to speak to the ICE thug, to even delicately taunt him ("dude, I'm not mad at you") and never thought he'd shoot one of them as she was driving away. Murder.

This poet Renee Nicole Good is an actual decent, principled, good person we need to mourn (instead of forced national mourning for a bigot with a megaphone and a multimillion dollar racism machine).

It's bad, it's stupid, and rich people will still be able to get their kids all the same vaccines as before. This is just part of the administration's war on poor kids, period.
Physicians slam US cuts to the number of vaccines recommended for children
The U.S. took the unprecedented step Monday of cutting the number of vaccines it recommends for every child — a move that leading medical groups said would undermine protections against a half-dozen diseases. Read more:
