The conditions of one’s birth - country, parents’ wealth and education, language, etc. - are the biggest lottery ticket you never paid for. To be proud of any of it or look down on others’ lot is the pinnacle of delusion.

📌On this date in 1936, Nazi Germany passed a law investing the Gestapo secret police with absolute authority exempt from any legal review.
Just in case you are still somehow confused by the chilling parallels with Republicans’ murdering ICE.

Real basic thing I just remembered to do: make a Notes app note of the SALUTE acronym (to report ICE etc. to community observers) for easy filling out in a hurry; make a shortcut to it a page or two deep on the home screen

The notion that ICE wants people to believe their agents are legitimate because they have identifying clothing which looks like a Halloween costume is lunacy

Thank you, @indivisible.org!
With fascism ascendent, in a country that working families can’t afford, we need to fight like hell for a more inclusive democracy and a more equal economy.
Together, we’ll keep organizing for the country that we deserve.

Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.
No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.
Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?
No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

This is sickening. For comparison, this is more than the Department of Energy spent for all solar power and wind power R&D for the whole country.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

ICE is currently holding around 80,000 detainees. Nazi Germany didn't reach this number in its formal camp system until 1942, nine years after seizing power and three years into the war.
