ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Trump lied. His ICE is not going after the "worst of the worst" like he promised.

The vast majority of the people being taken are hardworking, law-abiding members of our communities. They are just trying to provide for their families and contribute to America.

Dems need to keep repeating it, and they need to say what mean. “You can refuse illegal orders,

examples of illegal orders are: intentionally harming or targeting civilians, engaging in unauthorized domestic LE actions, falsifying records, or anything else that clearly violates the US constitution”

jfc. It was determined by a US judge that she could not be deported to Sierra Leone due to danger she would face in the country she fled. So they deported her to Ghana, a country she had never been to, and Ghana deported her to Sierra Leone.

This country is fucking sick. Deeply deeply fucking sick

Rabbiatu Kuyateh was detained this summer at her annual ICE check-in, her son said. She moved to the D.C. area 30 years ago as she fled civil war in Sierra Leone.

Earlier today, I learned about the unlivable conditions inside an apartment complex that was the recent target of an ICE raid in September.

Some of the remaining residents, who are Black, shared that the conditions were inhumane long before the September raid.

Direct action is not designed as spectacle for media consumption, unlike large peaceful protests which are, deliberately, a spectacle.

The editorial desks at major media outlets are incapable of grasping the difference. Direct action scares institutions because it threatens the order they sit atop.

Important to remember this when you read news reports of DOGE closing 'without achieving anything'. It achieved plenty. Not only should this not be forgotten, those responsible should be held accountable.
DOGE shuts down having not found trillions of dollars of waste or saved any money.

They compromised the security of government systems, fired federal workers and oversaw the dismantling of USAID which has killed 600,000.

By 2030 approx 14 million people will have died.

That’s their legacy

Support for economic populism and support for minority rights are NOT in opposition to one another.

If anything, they should be seen—and politically leveraged—as mutually reinforcing positions. In the most recent elections, Democrats did just that and won overwhelmingly.

The framing here is wrong.

The idea that opposition to geoengineering is largely just lefty extremists and loopy right-wing chemtrail guys feels very much like part of the broader project to normalise it with the ultimate aim of ensuring it is actually deployed as a tacit replacement for mitigation

I ran into an advocate who told me that the 9 men detained from Canal Street last month struggled to find legal representation. Historically, Black immigrants experience disproportionately *more* removals than any other group. Anti-Black racism fuels US immigration in *every* way.

i am willing to compromise by just insisting on prison terms for ICE employees. that is the moderate position.
if there's a reason to keep up the "tribunals for all involved" discourse one such reason it is to put in stark relief how far away some of the Dem politicking is from the mood on the ground
eric swalwell said on msnow that a major goal of a dem majority after the midterms would be for ice masks to come off and badges to come out, this is insufficient
