According to Marilú, they had just left home when unfamiliar cars appeared. Moments later, three vehicles boxed them in. Armed men in green vests ordered them out. No names. No badges.
This is not law enforcement. This is intimidation. (Sorry, we couldn’t upload the full video.)

He and his wife were waiting for their lawyer when it happened. Méndez, who is undocumented but working to adjust his status, was taken to an undisclosed location. His wife, Marilú—an asylum recipient—had petitioned for him. They have one child.

Now, about the video: On Monday, federal agents smashed the window of a car in Massachusetts and arrested Juan Francisco Méndez, a Guatemalan immigrant with no criminal record.

Fake ICE agents are now targeting immigrants, creating dangerous and chaotic situations. Americans have Second Amendment rights, and people won’t just stand by while masked men grab young women off college campuses. If you’re making an arrest, show a warrant and ID. Period.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

I just got a public death threat from a few folks who noticed I am doing a library event to talk about my career and my books. They called me all the familiar names, then “I won’t be sad if someone shoots her in the face.” And a woman’s reply, “Right between the eyes.”

It gets worse. Schumer isn’t just going on a book tour—he’s charging for tickets.
Absolute insanity. While Americans are scared and in crisis mode, he’s basically saying, let them eat cake.

Yep, they rely on our apathy and need for "convenience" to keep growing... I think enough of us are angry enough to change behaviors. I know I have.

i tell this story every time these old photos come up but: I remember in film school one of my classmates asked what about film chemistry in the 1970s caused everything shot in NYC to look so brown and grimy and our professor was like "that wasn't the film, that's just what the air looked like here"
It's not just fdr. One of the things the epa did not long after it was formed was document the nation's pollution via photography. That can seem frivolous, but generations of Americans have no idea why the EPA was necessary. This broke a million views when we published it in 2017
This is what America looked like before the EPA cleaned it up
A snapshot from America before the impact of the EPA and the effects of rules regulating clean water and air were felt.
