Gonna remind the whole of Bluesky, again, that journalistic norms of saying “Texas is doing this” and “Texas is doing that”, (when it’s the TX GOP only) cedes an entire population to white supremacy and erases the opposition that also represents Texas and the Texans that would be victimized.

ICE agents should already know that ~ 90% of Somalis living in the Twin Cities are citizens so those that are out in public when ICE is in town are almost certain to be citizens. Barricading Somalis in restaurants isn't meant to find undocumented immigrants, it's meant to intimidate.

I love this guy’s reaction to ICE rolling up on him. No fear and all ridicule for these assholes. This up-close look at his resistance is priceless. There’s also some good close-ups of these ICE agent’s face.

ICE agents violently detained another disabled person, causing severe injuries.

Arturo Ruvalcaba lives in Utah and is deaf.

Three ICE agents grabbed him at a bus stop.

He tried to use sign language to communicate his disability to them, and they interpreted that as “resisting arrest”.
A deaf Utah man says ICE agents injured him months ago and he’s still in pain. Now he’s suing.
A Utah man who is deaf says ICE agents discriminated against him and injured him, in what he says in a lawsuit was an unconstitutional search.

Resistance Revival Chorus joined our
ICE Out of Home Depot in New York.

Home Depot must immediately do all it can to prevent
ICE agents from swarming its properties. They must publicly condemn ICE raids on its properties. Silence its complicity.

This is what it looks like when ICE agents pepper spray a f*cking BABY!! This happened in Cicero, Illinois. Her family are all US citizens, btw, but apparently they are the wrong skin color. 🤬🤬 #IceAreCriminals #Racism #ItIsntAboutIllegalImmigrants

ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray.

The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter.

These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby.

We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves.

Cicero, Illinois: Last month, ICE thugs pepper sprayed a father and his 1 year old baby. The father is asthmatic and immediately struggled to breathe. Both father and daughter were briefly hospitalized.

Weird that Cicero was safer for average Americans when Al Capone ran it than it is under Trump.
ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.

Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.

They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.

Another horrific story.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.

Two options:

1) ICE deliberately targeted him.

2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.

Hard to say which option is scarier.

ICE is thug scum
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

There is so much for which to remember Rob Reiner. In my family, we have long treasured this one bit he did with Carroll O'Connor on "All in the Family." It has always made me laugh, no matter how many times I've watched it. And we all could use a good laugh these days

NEW: Rob Reiner was a mensch. In death, he showed us that Trump is a schmuck. (He was also a friend, and I'll miss our very long lunches.)

The president's remarks about the murder of the filmmaker and his wife cast him as petty and callous.
