For those unfamiliar, this is the building federal agents raided on the night of Sept 30 as they rappelled out of helicopters, breaking into apartments. They arrested 37 immigrants and detained many other U.S. citizens for hours. Long faced with maintenance issues, residents are now forced to leave.

Fiddler on the roof, but with ICE agents playing the part of Cossacks. I know people think of Fiddler as a heartwarming story about a funny man doing Ya-ba-dibba-dibbas, but it's literally about pogroms like this
Masked men wearing ICE vests—but who refused to present a warrant or identify themselves—roped off a construction site, trapping two men on a roof for hours in subzero temps. Protesters gathered. Masked men eventually left, and one man on the roof was taken away by ambulance kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Trump and his Republicans took $1 trillion out of benefit programs and transferred it all to the wealthy who already had more money than they could spend. The Republican Party does NOT now and NEVER has represented ordinary Americans.

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns.
The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

Watch attempts to use the horrific mass shooting in Australia as “proof” that gun safety laws don’t work

Bondi is Australia’s first deadly mass shooting in 3 years

Brown is USA’s first deadly mass shooting in 3 days

And the 15th deadly & 389th overall mass shooting of 2025

There is no comparison

12 dead at a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.💔

A 43-year-old father of two, Ahmed al Ahmed, snuck up & tackled a gunman to disarm him. Ahmed was shot twice.

Both Jewish & Muslim faiths teach that “to save one life is to save all humanity.” Let us hold fast to our humanity.❤️

The appropriations measure that ended the shutdown in November says explicitly that none of the spending can be used to carry out reductions in force. This is mostly canceling unfilled positions, but cutting the regional offices would seem to conflict with the appropriations ban.
