we’ve had this fight in Cambridge, too—as long as we continue to collaborate with federal cops through BRIC or private surveillance contractors, we will be putting our neighbors at risk of ICE abductions
Activists and immigration attorneys warn that a Boston law enforcement program has created formal and informal channels for passing data to ICE. The city is applying to renew the federal grant that supports the program, adding to critics’ worries.

The grant helps fund a law enforcement center that’s drawn criticism over privacy and over data-sharing with ICE. It would also come with new strings to spend money on border control.

Don’t waste your time fact-checking these numbers, don’t engage Vance's vile propaganda as if he was advancing an argument in good faith.

even if we luck into this scenario, still wildly important for the next admin to be vindictive and vengeful and bring down the hammer on EVERYONE they possibly can while passing a bunch of democracy-enhancing laws and rebuilding the fed govt or we are frankly fucked & will be back here soon
the absolute best case scenario is trump becomes so unpopular that his own party loses faith in his ability to maintain governing power regardless of election rigging, troop deployment, etc, in which case they will cut him loose and make all that stuff even harder for him to pull off.
