Rahman: "We call ourselves a civilized nation, but we lack rules and accountability around what a person claiming to be law enforcement is permitted to do to another human being."

She ends with this: "I am not afraid. And I am not afraid to keep working on this problem, even after ICE is gone."

Very proud of the Habs #HeatedRivalry 🇨🇦🏒

As a team, I think we're well prepared to welcome anyone that would come out. I think we're a very open group, and we're always accepting of each other. That wouldn't change if someone came out and was on our team or another team."

the SCOTUS ruling allowing the President to ignore the Constitution must be struck down. Its endorsement of his lawlessness has predictably brought us to this day when agents of the King I mean the president believe that they too aren't answerable to the Constitution. #FTP #AbolishICE
ICE is now claiming it can arrest people without a warrant.

This comes after another internal memo asserting ICE agents can forcibly enter homes without a judicial warrant.

Hello? Democrats cannot let these blatantly unconstitutional actions continue. Not another penny for ICE.

University of Illinois college republicans advocate for executing protesters as “traitors” with art that takes a disturbing killing and makes it even more extreme.

I kicked off Black History Month in Corona at the home of Louis Armstrong, who lived in our city for more than 30 years. Walking through his house and hearing how much New York meant to him was a powerful reminder of what this city owes to Black artists and culture.

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

Sydney Sweeney: 👁️ 👄 👁️

Giancarlo Esposito: And for me, I have to speak out. If the whole world showed up... they’d kill 500 or 50 million or however [many], but the rest of us would survive with a new [world]. This is time for a revolution, and they don’t even know that’s what they’re starting.

As a labor union representing independent media workers, we feel it's important to name that both Lemon and Fort are independent journalists, and that the targeting of independent journalists should be treated with the same gravity as the targeting of those with institutional backing.
Don Lemon was not the only journalist arrested -- Georgia Fort was as well. Don Lemon has the resources to come out of this just fine. Georgia Fort may not. Let's make sure the focus is on both of them.
"As a member of the press, I filmed the church protest a few weeks ago and now I'm being arrested for that," Indipendent journalist Georgia Fort said. "It's hard to understand how we have a Constitution, Constitutional rights, when we can just be arrested for being a member of the press."

Please, pay attention to the other Black journalist who was arrested.

She doesn't get the press Lemon is getting. She has challenges he doesn't.
