firmly believe they can’t round up the “millions of criminals” they promised because they simply don’t exist — so we get this hamhanded shit as they flail around trying to meet ridiculous quotas
ICE threatening charges against people for asking supposed officers to show their badges is weakness. Not succeeding where they hoped to, left relying on threats that likely won’t go anywhere in court (harassment isn’t nothing, but it’s limited).
It’s a sign to resist their abuses more, not less.

ICE says they will bring charges against the two Immigration Rapid Response Hotline volunteers who demanded that agents show their badges before seizing two men from the Charlottesville courthouse. dailyprogress.com/news/local/c...

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process.
This is not lawful.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan'
but NO ONE should've been sent there

Thank you for everything, school librarians & library workers!
At a loss for words thinking of how you somehow find a way to continue doing your unnecessarily stressful jobs. I have to think your library kids are a big part of why.
Whatever the reason… thank you. We love you, we support you 💛

Cory Booker has just broken Strom Thurmond's record for longest Senate filibuster ever, which stood for 68 years.
Thurmond set it objecting to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
Booker set it arguing against authoritarianism.
May Strom's name be forgotten and his memory erased.
