Omg I’m dying 😂😂😂…so…So Emily Austin, a right wing 'influencer' who works for Bibi and the GOP, launched 'Hot Girls for Cuomo'.

Guess who didn't bother to register the URL when she did that? What do you think Hot Girls for Cuomo dot com leads to now?... 😄 Enjoy.

There's a current Texas state rep. (Nicole Collier) locked in the House chamber because she refused to sign this permission slip.

Because in Texas there's nothing we love more than FREEDOM!
The permission slip that Texas Democrats must use to travel through the Capitol

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.

Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

look I don't have a bar to highlight the zine nor am I anywhere near Philly to ever join the art events, so the best I can do for this campaign is some fanart homage of @sarahmackattack.bsky.social's MILFs for Mother Earth Babe Globe 🌍

CA: Want to direct you to ICE's own photo, docket 39-1, and if this is not domestic law enforcement by military, I don't know what is.

Judge: I will have an order out *very* soon. Hopeful that I can get it out today.

This is terrifying. This could be me.

This person was born here, brown, was nearly deported.

“Let me be clear:
You do not need a passport to live in this country.
Millions of Americans have never had one.
It's not required for citizenship.
It’s not even required to vote.”
2:39 17 99 < Juliane Hammer Posts Photos Videos Mariana Hernandez • Follow Mar 21 • © My friend was nearly deported in her own damn country. She's 43. Born and raised in Miami, Florida. Both her parents are from Colombia and U.S citizens. My beautiful friend, A U.S. citizen. Perfect English. Her Spanish? Pretty rough. And yet... She was driving when she got stopped at an immigration checkpoint. The officer told her she "matched the description of people they were detaining and deporting." She asked, "Deporting? I was born here. Where are you going to deport me to Miami-Dade?" He asked for her passport. She said, "I don't have one. Never needed one." His response? "Well, you don't have a passport and you match the description." The description being: brown and breathing, 1 guess? Let me be clear: You do not need a passport to live in this country. Millions of Americans have never had one. 2:39 =今 99 < Juliane Hammer Posts Photos Videos The description being: brown and breathing, 1 guess? Let me be clear: You do not need a passport to live in this country. Millions of Americans have never had one. It's not required for citizenship. It's not even required to vote. But suddenly, if your skin tone or last name isn't "American enough," you need to carry documentation like we're living under an authoritarian regime? She was understandably pissed. She asked him, "So because I look Latina, that's all the proof you need?" His response, " Well, again you dont have a passport and you matched the description " They let her go. With a warning. A warning. For what? For not carrying a passport? For daring to exist in her brown skin without papers in hand? She now needs to carry her passport everywhere she goes, not to leave the country, but to prove she belongs in the country where she was born. What the hell are we doing? 2:39 1今99 < Juliane Hammer Posts Photos Videos Are we really okay with turning the U.S. into a place where citizenship is judged by appearance? Where being brown is enough to get detained? Where "you match the description" becomes the new 'show me your papers? *if tou know you know. Sound familiar? It should. That's how it started in Nazi Germany. And before anyone says I'm being dramatic....remember, the Holocaust didn't start with gas chambers. It started with suspicion. With documentation. With exclusion. With silence. This isn't about immigration anymore. This is about racial profiling. Xenophobia. Authoritarian policing. And it's happening right now, in the so-called land of the free. You want to know how fascism creeps in? It's this. It's checkpoints. It's warnings. It's deciding who "looks" American and who doesn't. So here's a warning back: If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention. And if you think this can't happen to you, just wait until someone decides you don't belong either.

The men sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison:

- A tattoo artist seeking asylum who entered legally.
- A teen who got a tattoo in Dallas because he thought it looked cool.
- A 26-year-old whose tattoos his wife says are unrelated to a gang.
- A barber whose family says he has no gang ties.
Lindsay Toczylowski @l-toczylowski.bsky.social Posting tonight ti shine a light on what the Alien Enemies Act looks like IRL. Our @immdef.bsky.social client fled Venezuela last year & came to US to seek asylum. He has a strong claim. He was detained upon entry because ICE alleged his tattoos are gang related. They are absolutely not. March 15, 2025 at 11:33 PM Lindsay Toczylowski @l-toczylowski... • 1d Our client worked in the arts in Venezuela. He is LGBTQ. His tattoos are benign. But ICE submitted photos of his tattoos as evidence he is Tren de Aragua. His @ImmDef attorney planned to present evidence he is not. But never got the chance because our client has been disappeared. Solanyer said an ICE officer told her that her brother was detained because of a tattoo that linked him to Tren de Aragua, a violent gang with Venezuelan prison origins that has spread through the Americas. She said the tattoo depicted a rose and that he had gotten it in a tattoo parlor in Dallas. "He thought it looked cool, looked nice, it didn't have any other significance," she said, stressing that he is not a gang member. Caraballo had multiple tattoos including ones of roses, a clock with this daughter's birth time, a lion and a shaving razor, said his wife. "I've never seen him without hair, so I haven't recognized him in the photos," she said. "I just suspect he's there because of the tattoos that he has and right now any Venezuelan man with tattoos is assumed to be a gang member", she added, citing also the fact that he has effectively gone missing. Sanchez said her husband has never been a member of Tren de Aragua. taseenb @taseenb People have started identifying some of the 238 Venezuelan migrants deported to Bukele's torture dungeons by the U.S. fascist regime. The brother of one of them posted that his relative is a barber with no criminal record and no links to any criminal organisations. Anahi انائي @ANAHI1938-1d Sebastián García Casique publicó en Instagram que, es hermano de uno de los 238 venezolanos deportados a El Salvador señalado de pertenecer a la banda Tren de Aragua. "Nunca había estado preso, nunca ha cometido un delito, ni en Venezuela u otro país".
