Took off mask 4 blocks away and got it bad. It’s all over the neighborhood. A local walking her dog asked if they just gassed and ran inside coughing.

To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave. Through your use of violence and the trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

They started with immigrants and trans people and everytime this administration is appeased they attack more groups. Your skin color or gender won’t keep you safe. They will kill you if you disagree with them and they believe they can get away with it. So we can’t let them get away with it.

Philando worked at my kids’ school. I think of him every time I drive that road.
Today I'm remembering Philando Castile, shot in 2016 by police in the Minneapolis suburbs after being pulled over for a broken brake light. "Sir, I have to tell you that I do have a firearm on me," he said. Ten seconds later one of the cops had shot him five times. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing...

Everybody matters in a bucket brigade, as long as you’re actually holding a bucket
In our current hellscape, running the damn ball can take lots of forms. Feeding people, showing up for people. Sorting diapers, basically things that excise a small portion of pain from the world, and/or inserting a modicum of joy. Others may have more and better examples.

The more I think about this, the angrier I get. It takes a particularly virulent strain of sociopathy to sit and let hard-working people serve you a meal knowing that you plan to arrest them and send them off for deportation once they're off of work.
Really depraved shit.

A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.
Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.
