Retired Ob/Gyn. I just want everyone to have enough. Enough to live productive, peaceful lives without fear regardless of where you were born, the color of your skin, your native language, your sex, your gender, or your religion.

There is quite literally no such thing as a religious gov't that isn't criminal, violent or delusional. From the pedos of the Vatican, to the pedos in Afghanistan, to the pedo in the WH, surrounded by violent white Christian nationalists.

Do you remember when Hillary Clinton said Trump supporters were a basket of deplorables and the media lost their minds??

Perhaps. But Garland is in no way responsible for Trump’s actions. Failure to prevent is not culpability.

No. Not age limits but competency testing.

Here are a list of actions you can take to protect immigrant and immigrant communities at the local, state and national level!

THE FOLLOWING OUTLINES A LIST OF ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE TO PROTECT IMMIGRANTS
ON THE LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL LEVEL

LOCAL AND CITY LEVEL
REQUEST YOUR LOCAL OFFICIALS TO ENACT THESE PROTECTIONS IN YOUR AREA
1. LIMIT COOPERATION WITH FEDERAL AGENCIES
• Restrict local law enforcement from assisting federal agents.
Check to see if your area does this at:
https://cis.org/Map-Sanctuary-Cities-Counties-and-States
• Reverse 287(g) partnerships, which pay local law enforcement to deputize their officers as ICE agents.
Check to see if your area's law enforcement department is a partner:
https://themarkup.org/tools/2025104/16/law-enforcement-ice-cooperation-tracker
• Pass local laws that limit sharing residents' personal information with federal agencies, prevent use of city facilities for federal use, and require public reporting of all federal requests.*

LOCAL AND CITY LEVEL
2. PROTECT PRIVACY AND DATA
• Restrict local disclosure of street vendor information except by subpoena or judicial warrant
Example: California SB 635
• Track raid/arrest locations on a public website
Example: Anaheim, CA - anaheim.net/contige

@mayorofchicago.bsky.social should direct Chicago PD to arrest the ICE agent who assaulted Fuentes. Every ICE agent who commits an assault in Chicago should be held in the Cook County jail with no bond while any issues concerning qualified immunity and jurisdiction are litigated.

That's because the "agent" in the video was a proud boy or other militia member working at a gun store 6 months ago. Trump gave them all $50k, a badge and their dream job of rounding up immigrants and a license to assault any American who exercises their Constitutional Rights.

In every one of these videos, they snap and are literally shaking with anger as they attack people who are calmly confronting them. They are so badly trained and unprofessional it’s shocking

This guy not wearing a mask makes him the bravest ICE agent and yet is still, like all of them, a pathetic bullying coward. Look at him grab Fuentes, who’s literally just standing there. Look at the hatred in his dumb face.

Eric Reinhart @eric-reinhart.com · 13d

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Breaking: The Pentagon Walkout — America’s Free Press Just Hit the Wall

For the first time in U.S. history, journalists were told to sign a loyalty agreement—or lose access. All but one refused. This is how Project 2025 silences the truth and dismantles free speech.
