1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Protected speech made my agents murder these people, says federal official
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

Abolish ICE is not enough.
Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.
We need prosecutions and trials.
Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

All the traits that you have been taught to value and look for in special individuals - courage, intelligence, strength - are actually collective traits. There is no genius or hero coming to save us from our problems. We solve them together or not at all. Socialism or barbarism.
I have never witnessed such a spiderweb of collective action, just average everyday people showing up. Not the heroism we’ve been sold by the movies but collective heroism, a fabric of care and resistance to fascism.

"Trump's ICE" is just ICE; the Democrats have been and remain complicit.
Cut out the rot, root and stem. ICE cannot remain in any form

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

A regular reminder that cops have been doing exactly this to Black Americans for far longer than our cellphone culture has been reporting it.
If we want the nation in which we live to be different, we must organize, rise up, and make it so.
With *diverse tactics* including big strikes and more.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?
ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.
I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

if they wanted to stop this they would be fighting it, not funding it.
the democrats in power are letting this all happen because it aligns with their class interests and the wants of their wealthy owners. if they wanted to stop it they would fight it but they support ice, the police, and the military, which is why they always vote to give them more money and power.

Have your State Police or National Guard interdict, or honestly, just shut up. You are pretending to live in a country and time that no longer exists; you are in a Civil War, but only one side is fighting — and it's not you.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
