800 people at Whittier International Elementary right now to coordinate ICE resistance. EIGHT HUNDRED, at one little school.
Recall there are only 2,000 ICE agents in the entire metro. Puny!

I mean, here we have a feel-good story of ordinary defiance. Pushing back against hate. But you, the reader, may know (as I did not) who Mark Harris is and that his husband is in fact legendary American dramatist Tony Kushner. This would be like if Saul Bellow or Joan Didion told you to get fucked.
My husband was on the 2 train and a guy started braying about how Renee Good deserved to die and her "lesbian lover" did too. My husband got pissed and said, "You're absolutely disgusting." "Fuck you!" the guy said. "Fuck YOU!" my husband said. The guy left.
See? We just need to talk to each other.

The Supreme Court only cleared the way for Kavanaugh Stops four months ago and ICE now openly engages in violent racial profiling, snatching anyone who looks non-white and treating them as presumptively guilty of a crime. Remarkable how quickly our liberties can be crushed when courts go along.
Can confirm I have personally seen three attempts just today of agents in a convoy of ICE vehicles trying to snatch random POCs along Central Ave - and then being chased off by neighbors with whistles. It's blatant racial profiling.

ICE is stopping its purchase of warrantless airline travel data, according to a new procurement record. This comes after the company selling it said it would not sell that data anymore, following our months of reporting on the company. More here: www.404media.co/airlines-wil...

I mean, on top of all the other ridiculousness about Jeanine Pirro gunning for Jerome Powell, she can't even win convictions for relatively simple cases.
