🚨Stamford, CT: ICE and “FBI” agents use grossly excessive force to brutalize someone in a parking garage. The woman who spoke up was 1) ALONE and 2) brave. When are men going to step up? Just gonna watch the beatdowns like free PPV at the expense of innocents? 1/2

A near-decimation of the federal workforce in nine months.

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto

She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card

Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.

She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.

It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

Things are so mean-spirited right now, this made me tear up. In the gratuitously cruel age of Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Mike Johnson, it's comforting to be reminded that there still are decent human beings that walk amongst us. Thank you, Heretic Coffee in Portland.
Heretic Coffee in Portland, Oregon has announced that starting Nov 1st they will provide breakfast to those in the community who will be facing hunger due to SNAP benefits not being sent out in November.

Spotify is now running ICE recruitment ads. We asked them to stop. They ignored us. Let's show them what we showed Disney. No Kings, No Collaborators, No Capitulators. indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

I hear that, but the issue is why they are doing any animal testing. And to suggest that their aggression is not related to being abused is a reach. Animals are sentient. They have emotions, they are complex beings like us. Human exceptionalism is akin to colonialism.
That the university is experimenting on monkeys is horrific. Let’s start there. If they are aggressive, this is the fault of the university and science more generally. I do not support animal experiments.

Shameful
ICE followed the mother into a school and aggressively detained her along with her children.
This is so heartbreaking 💔

It’s worth noting that if a parent took a minor child across state lines without the permission of the other parent, that would be considered kidnapping. But I guess that’s okay when it’s the federal government.

A 13 year old and ICE
Weeks ago I wrote about 13 and 17 year old sisters who went missing in the world after ICE abducted their mother from a Worcester, Massachusetts street, leaving them parentless and in state care.

Scott Reid on Ontario anti-tariff ad: "The President himself, of course, by screaming and squealing like a child without his toy, made certain that everybody in the States saw this ad, shared this ad... I think that Canadians liked the fact that we threw a punch rather than just took punches."
