I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

Who is this quisling St. Paul mayor who went on camera to defend his collaborationist police department?
Scores of community members confronted federal goons and St. Paul police for hours Tuesday morning as federal agents arrested at least one person at a home in St. Paul's Payne-Phalen neighborhood. At least three protestors, one of whom was injured by law enforcement officers, were also detained.

Ari Cohn blocked me because I keep calling him out on his vile and shitty moves against trans youth.
Meanwhile, people like Ari Cohn and FIRE are using their immense resources and considerable legal skills to create the conditions that lead to these tragedies by supporting the right to bully trans youth as "free speech." It's a choice and they consistently make the wrong ones.

Donald Trump is a vile criminal piece of shit.
After Biden commuted the sentences of 37 men on federal death row last year, the Trump administration is retaliating by sending them to the supermax. Prisoners are locked in cells smaller than a parking space 22-24 hours a day.
One prisoner told me he fears he won't make it out alive.
