Thread. Instead of fearmongering about ICE agents intimidating voters at the polls, direct your energy to becoming a poll observer or poll worker, and to advocating for changes to voter laws. Call your political reps, find grassroots orgs doing this work, etc.
Each arrest takes like a half dozen agents. They just don’t have the manpower for this. I am not even sure where the marginal utility of this type of thing would be. Maybe if they concentrated their efforts in one congressional district or something.
One of my biggest fears about the midterms is that ICE could flood the polls with agents who perform Kavanaugh Stops on every non-white person before they get a chance to cast a ballot, then detain them until voting is over. Which is not far-fetched at this point. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-po...

IL's AIPAC-backed Dems want to quietly kill a bill that would repeal the current Anti-BDS law, which blacklists any company deemed to be limiting its economic relationship with Israel from the state pension.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood.
"It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.

Why an A.I. Video of Tom Cruise Battling Brad Pitt Spooked Hollywood
A 15-second clip created by an artificial intelligence tool owned by the Chinese technology company ByteDance appears more cinematic than anything so far.

If you are not in Minneapolis, It is important that you spread the word how bad it is. Everywhere in the city is seeing ICE. They are speeding, kicking in doors, taking people at bus stops.

If we really believe in integration, should we be busing the wyt kids to other neighborhoods where they are the minority? Can schools get adequate resources if tgey aren’t the majority?

Even sitting beside
Me in the cold
When you are not
Here I hold
The whisper of your kiss
Leaving

Saw taking our taxes to fund corporate investment..? How may years before they defraud certain accounts due to political opposition or ethnic background (sorry residential differences)?
And do they mean EVERY child born in the U.S. because they claim not all those babies will be citizens.
