Video shows ICE leaving behind an infant and broken glass after arresting a man with no criminal history.
“There was a car seat in the back... There were broken glass shards all over it... There was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying.”

The Kansas bathroom bill applies to state government buildings. State Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat who is trans, was selected to fill a vacant seat earlier this month and it's believed this bill was specifically targeted at her. Disgusting and hateful.

I know people are understandably scared, but are we going to keep doing this every five months? This is not a broad coalition. This is four groups who never gave up and a bunch of small groups. This isn't new or interesting, and it actually says more that no actually powerful groups are involved.

Bad things are happening for trans people in Kansas...
It plainly invalidates all driver's licenses held by trans people if they've changed their gender markers. It requires them to turn those licenses over.
They don't have a list to check but now any out trans person could be ratted out by family, friends or coworkers and have their licenses revoked.

Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

Law enforcement officers have always been unmasked in this country until ICE started wearing them last year.
*That* is the departure from norms. *That* is the step too far.

Guys maybe the number one obstacle to organizing here in Minneapolis is the unfounded fear that if you get involved, DHS will put you on a list and assassinate you. It leads people to avoid organizing or act in ways that are completely detrimental to organizing. Please please do not spread that fear

to me, the simplest argument against body cams as reform is that they executed a poet and a nurse in the streets while being aware they were on camera from multiple angles. and in the case of renee good, the shooter even filmed it himself.
