hmm don't see any name badges or identification numbers on these agents ...
the feds seem to be taking the court order requiring it about as seriously as the rest of the court orders they're ignoring.

Something I learned from my public health days is that an easy way to improve health broadly in the U.S. would be to simply increase funding for SNAP so families could buy what they want. Too long we've restricted SNAP because of ridiculous ideas about what lower income people should eat.
SNAP assistance should be enough to cover 2000 calories a day of HEALTHY food PER PERSON. Yes I want the government to make sure everyone has wholesome, tasty, filling meals. The problem isn't that people need assistance with food, it's that the assistance is a freaking joke.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.
I did it because the government isn’t.
This is what I found.

Also I would have been out in the streets with propaganda, lol. Bring your fliers, pamphlets and zines, there's no better opportunity for popular education & to recruit people to organizing work.
Wishing everyone who is taking part in #NoKings today, a great day. I would be out in the streets today too but I am at our Communiversity for the day.

Wow, wow, wow. This has always been legally possible but the law has virtually never been enforced — and now this is the SECOND case I've heard of in the last month (first involving a person with a green card) of a noncitizen being charged for failure to carry their papers.
NEWS: ICE gave a Rogers Park man a $130 ticket for not having his papers on him. They rounded him up last week and eventually let him go, but not without a fine that some critics say is un-American. Trump admin enforcing little-used law

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."
They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.
Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

People once again need to internalize that "generative AI" is a small subset of machine learning, that machine learning is a critical tool that you cannot run a site without past a certain volume Bluesky has long since exceeded, and that it is FAR more reliable than user reporting.
