In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.
Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization
It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

I attended a Border Patrol recruitment event. By never saying “no,” I was corralled from standing near the recruitment table to having a completed application submitted on my behalf, and I received a tentative selection days later.

I am all-the-way done with every "centrist" politician trying to label me a far-left extremist, when every demand I make is for adherence to the Constitution and the rule of law, the most centrist principles of all. We *are* the center!

The image shows a Contact message sent to Senator Angus King. It is titled, "It's Not About Polarization." An excerpt from the Comments reads: The overwhelming and growing public reaction, these thousands and millions of protestors flooding the phones and taking to the streets to demand that the law and the Constitution be followed - we ARE the center!

Polarization is not the problem. And I am tired of being framed as a radical left extremist in service of a talking point that is missing the moment.

The center of the spectrum of United States politics is meant to be the Constitution and the rule of law.

A graphic displays the same text as in the thread: Polarization is not the problem. And I am tired of being framed as a radical left extremist in service of a talking point that is missing the moment. The center of the spectrum of United States politics is meant to be the Constitution and the rule of law. And today it is under assault. The left and right are not migrating further apart. The right has launched off the edge of the chart. And the millions of people taking to the streets? We are not the far-left. We are laser-centered on our most fundamental Constitutional rights. The center is not meant to be compromised ever rightward into fascist dictatorship. You cannot negotiate with people who don't believe in a center at all. So if the center is really what you stand for, I have good news for you. Now is your time! The center is the largest it has ever been! Millions of dead-center Americans are as awake, as alert, as active as they have been in a generation. So join us! But understand this about the center. It is not the place for compromise.

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor

Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes

Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day

Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods

Impression

Winter is a tattletale:
If a bunny hops across the snow
His tracks will clearly show
Which way he chose to go.

But summer keeps a secret well:
If a bunny hops across the grass
There won't be any tracks
To show where he did pass.

#poetry
Overhead photo of a board laying on the ground, with a light covering of snow. There are three sets of bunny tracks going up the board, clearly showing the little round front paw prints and the longer back paw prints. In the final set of prints at the top of the board, the back prints are angled to the left.

Morning #BlueSky ☕️ Let’s watch as the storm rumbles in 😳 (poem in the Alt Text) Have a great day friends ☺️

After today’s picture description l have included poem l have written that is inspired by this scene. Our picture is a dramatic black-and-white landscape. A long concrete bridge stretches from the right side of the picture toward the distant left, crossing over still, dark water. The bridge is supported by a row of evenly spaced pillars, which form a repeating pattern as they disappear into the distance. Beneath the bridge, the water is so calm that it acts like a mirror, reflecting the arches, the bridge’s underside, and the heavy sky above. This reflection creates a striking symmetry, as though the scene is doubled. In the background, soft, rounded hills rise gently behind the bridge, their shapes dark and subdued. Above them, thick storm clouds fill the sky. They are layered and swirling, with bright patches of light breaking through darker masses, giving the sky a turbulent, moody feeling. In the foreground, near the bottom right corner, there is a sloped concrete edge and a small stretch of gritty shoreline scattered with pebbles and stones. This rough texture contrasts with the smooth, glassy water beside it. The overall mood is quiet, powerful, and slightly ominous, as if a storm is about to arrive. And finally, our picture is finished with a simple white border frame. And now my poem… I call it ….Beneath the Bridge of Quiet Skies Beneath a bridge of shadowed stone, Where arches march in silent line, The water keeps a secret twin Of cloud and curve and dark design. Storm-heavy skies hang low and deep, Their restless shapes in mirrored sleep, While hills stand still in distant grey, Watching the world hold its breath and wait. Pebbles whisper at the shore, Small against the vast and sore Weight of sky and looming rain Yet in their hush, there is a pain. Here, where reflection meets the real, The storm and stillness gently kneel, And time itself seems briefly caught Between the water and the thought.

Deliberate. A report by experts studied incidents from Jan 2010 to Oct 2012 and found US Border Patrol agents stepped in front of vehicles 67 times to justify shooting drivers. Results were 19 deaths.

Jonathan Ross worked for US Border Patrol from 2005 until 2015.

An independent review of U.S. Border Patrol shootings criticizes the agency for 'lack of diligence' in its investigations and suggests that agents' tactics sometimes create a pretext to open fire.
