The thing where ICE parks masked men in school lots is something I would not have believed unless I saw it with my own two eyes. They do it constantly. It’s purely a terror tactic and they’ve done it to schools over the region. Our schools are collapsing - often at 50% attendance or less.
Columbia Heights (Liam's school district) cancelled school today because of a credible bomb threat at Liam's elementary and multiple ICE vehicles parking in the high school staff parking lot at 6:15am.

We need to keep taking notes on these collaborators. Epuration forensics.
Texas fire department helps ICE detain roofers—using tower ladder truck that should be reserved for local emergency.
Agents grab at workers' legs to yank them off multi-story house—even using pepper spray atop roof.
Firefighters did equip ICE with safety harness for this risky series of maneuvers.

There's something really sad about Republicans beginning to act like moral human beings once they know they are leaving the party.
It shows they've always known they were doing evil, and chose to do it anyways. Now they simply don't have the option to choose evil that will benefit them personally.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

I found the first investigative file from the first complainant against Epstein in 2005.
There are descriptions from the officer, over several interviews of the girl, of her pulling her knees up on the chair, drawing doodles, & the officer high-fiving her to keep her calm as she speaks of horror.

It's not just "stand up to ICE when you see them," it's building many vast networks of support and trust to
- create safe spaces
- protect schools
- get kids TO school
- check on neighbors
- deliver groceries
- help pay the rent
- let people know of danger
- feed the helpers, too!

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
The intense fallout from the killing of Alex Pretti has forced President Trump to publicly change course in Minneapolis.
Listen to our White House reporters discuss the changes on today's episode of "The Daily."

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

this is actually a very accurate report on what we're doing, except for the outside assistance and "lethal harassment" part. it's a massive, decentralized network. ICE cars enter the neighborhood, instantly pick up several tails, are logged, and are escorted out. it's hopeless. you should leave.
The rest of it is even funnier
