My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Really great coverage from @wired.com about our week of action against online ID verification and how these bills are setting a dangerous precedent by making the internet more exploitative rather than safer.

Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about
DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.

Who would have imagined, watching the third episode of Andor (on Ferrix), that only 3 years later in the United States citizens must organize to protect their community by warning each other.
Little Free Anti-ICE Libraries: yesterday multiple people were abducted by ICE in my Chicago neighborhood (Avondale). This morning I added 40 ICE alert whistles to three different LFLs, including one box that is about a block from one of the kidnappings. I have ordered 700 whistles.

If the Reich Wing is engaging in cancel culture by getting reporters fired for showing Charlie Kirk quotes and Jimmy Kimmel for talking about it (a violation of 1st Amendment btw), then the Left needs to get off its ass and ceaselessly call Fox News about Kilmeade. No apology excuses what he said.
