If you don’t like immigrants, then by all means, NEVER use those pesky little life saving devices they made! Seriously, otherwise… you are a communist if you do, just throwing your beliefs back at you….

Teresa Helm is a courageous Epstein survivor. Her testimony is valuable and proves once more that we should not trust Maxwell but rather believe the survivors who come forward despite their traumas. The least our society can do is to listen to them.

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com

Just signed this "How TF is this not *already* the law?!" petition. Cowardly cosplaying kidnappers, man. Get in there while we still can: sign.moveon.org/petitions/un...
Mandate that ICE agents show their face and identification!
ICE agents—without identification—are detaining people in plain clothes and wearing masks—stoking widespread fear, confusion, and distrust. This is not normal. And it’s not only cowardly, it’s dangero...

I could almost see the side street I struggled my way down! This was so massive that I could hear the crowd the second I emerged from the subway avenue blocks away, and that after a half-hour I STILL hadn't made it to Fifth Avenue, so thick was the chanting crowd on 40th. #NoKings

Today I asked protesters in New York City: "What are you worried America is turning into?" Their answers were poignant, and defiant. Watch the video I took (edited by masterful @peter-berger.bsky.social).
Hear from marchers at today's vast No Kings rally in New York City: "I'm glad to see everybody out here right now, knowing that people's eyes are open—and they're fighting for what's right."

This whole thread is worth reading.
Cannot express enough how much what happened at that meeting three weeks ago has changed things on the ground.
Courthouse arrests started within days, then check-in arrests. Worksite raids, once rare, began happening daily. Detention has skyrocketed over capacity. People are going missing.

Really good WSJ article on ICE escalations over recent weeks including Miller's visit to ICE national HQ where he demanded Home Depot raids. www.wsj.com/us-news/prot...

Oh look. Yet more "stealth" horror.
Welcome to American SLAVERY.
Businesses get around paying migrants min wage thru ICE, which subcontracts them for $1/day to pick strawberries, etc.
A phone call cost $5. 90% of private prisons are for-profit.
🇺🇸 has world's largest immigration detention system.

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.
