Yes! This is the way to do it! Exercise our rights!

No ICE entry without a judicial warrant signed within 2 weeks of the raid, with the correct name and address of someone they are seeking!

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

Perhaps they don't about her refusal to support Dylan and, instead, support her abuser?

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

When will the aid arrive in Gaza?!

All I hear is "soon," "soon," "soon."

People in Gaza have been starved of resources in the war zone they've been trapped in for 2+ years.

It must move now.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Heard Maria Corina Machado on NPR's Up First today. She dedicated her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump, kissing his ass by saying he's a peacemaker. Went on to agree with Trump's unlawful bombing of Venezuelan nationals (+ others) on ships.

Nobel does it again: gives a warmonger a peace prize.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

The key reason that many people hid those targeted by Nazis was that someone asked for their help.

If there is hope in our ability to defeat fascists, this is it. Many simply do not want to be on the fascists’ side.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.
On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help. "I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed. "I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions. "I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her, 'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

When Trump doesn't get everything, he's been "robbed"

Each day, a new whine: Today, Nobel Peace Prize was "stolen" from him simply because he desperately wanted it, but didn't get it

Fox "News" agree: "Nobel Peace Prize goes to María Corina Machado, despite calls for Trump to receive the award"

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.
