Documentary on NYC Immigration Court at 26 Federal Plaza by independent journalist Michael Nigro, who goes by "Nigrotime."

Filming ICE raids and protests in L.A. this summer, Nigro was shot in the helmet with a less lethal round. Then he came back to NYC and made this. @nigrotime.bsky.social

I could not watch this documentary about what is happening in NY Immigration court in one sitting. Not because it's long—it's less than 20 minutes—but because it's so wrenching and heartbreaking. I still think you should watch it. It's extremely important. youtu.be/AF-k7Mq5Xqs

Come on. People are just playing themselves still asking that question. No it's not legal because the dictator doesn't care about the laws & the establishment has bent to him & is letting him get away with it. And we will continue to watch the the constitution & international law flagrantly flouted.

the "no kings" marches on saturday isn't a protest, it's a liberal performance.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.

That’s why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed — because Young Republicans weren’t radical enough.

A particular delusion of the liberal gentry, sadly influential even at this late hour, is that table manners somehow preclude someone from truly being a fascist, or increase the likelihood of their redemption. They do not.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story.

"The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming — no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."

student newspaper's content

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

remigrate is not a dog whistle, and is open nazi language

Remigration

Not to be confused with Return migration.
Remigration is an originally European far-right proposal of ethnic cleansing[1] via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, sometimes including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry.[2][3] It is popular especially within the Identitarian movement.[4][5] Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some persons with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly defined degree of assimilation into European culture.[6][7][8]
