This is the one that ultimately got me crying. What the fuck are we doing? How are elected Dems not literally throwing their bodies in front of ICE?
Thinking of the trauma this kid will have breaks me.

If you are a US citizen and think your children are safe because they don’t “look like” this child…
… stop to consider that in our country, now, your children’s safety depends on what they “look like”.

A Minnesota high school student was nabbed by ICE agents as she was trying to pick up food for her family after work. She was violently dragged from her car and lost her shoes. So, barefoot in the middle of winter, she was put into the back of an unmarked car in a small town (Willmar).

Just got an email from my kid’s basketball coach outlining the safety precautions the host school has put in place, including when and how they’ll go into lockdown if the federal secret police show up. Again, schools making plans to protect children from their own government.

In a major win for public education, the Trump-Vance admin has abandoned its appeal in our case, which fought their mandate that public schools align with the admin's unlawful interpretation of civil rights law or risk loss of funds.

That's the thing - there should be high standards for this stuff. And even in that environment, Trump has vaulted way past the bar. This is extreme racism from the presidential podium and it's barely being covered.

This is what parents of schools in Minnesota are dealing with. Not just needing to be outside in subzero temps protecting their children from armed, masked federal goons, but now having to worry about undercover agents trying to infiltrate their patrols to kidnap children, parents, and teachers.
From a highly reliable friend:
ICE may be dressing in plain clothes to get access to students at schools, and get information about how the resistance is organizing. Be careful who you talk to. Don't engage with strangers with many questions. Vet folks you let into your organizing circles.

We’ve all seen the videos, but it matters to hear Aliya Rahman say it herself.
📌 She says her treatment in custody was dehumanizing, and that officers completely failed to take her disability seriously.
