When someone complains about #DEI #DEIA ask them which part of #civilrights they’re against? diversity? is it equity they don’t want (or don’t understand?)? Is it inclusion they don’t want? now that A for accessibility has been added, let’s talk about who shouldn’t get access and why?

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Celebrities defending the First Amendment 👏 🇺🇸 #Constitution #FreeSpeech www.npr.org/2025/10/01/n...

Hundreds of celebrities relaunch a McCarthy-era committee to defend free speech

The Committee for the First Amendment first launched in the 1940s, when the House Un-American Activities Committee accused Hollywood actors, directors and writers of being communists or sympathizers.

❗ ABJECT CRUELTY & DEPRAVITY. In Chicago's South Shore, federal agents went after Black Americans--US citizens--& Venezuelan families. They dragged a 67 y/o American man outside, leaving him ziptied for hours. They dragged out Venezuelan families, some unclothed, separating parents & kids. @wbez.org

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated'

The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

All of this violent racial profiling over what? …. a freakin civil matter, a paperwork issue!! Tackling people and terrorizing them repeatedly over visas and immigration status. Can you imagine doing the same to people with parking tickets? Late taxes? Are you kidding me?! 🤬 #STOPICE #StopFascism

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 21d

WOW. Remember this May video of a US citizen wrestled to the ground by ICE agents and detained for an hour despite having a valid REAL ID?

It gets worse. Two weeks later, ICE did it AGAIN — handcuffed him and detained him for 20 minutes despite his REAL ID. Now the Institute for Justice is suing.

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

Shooting detainees to protest ICE is like PETA shooting chickens to protest KFC.
This feels like another narrative manipulation.

POSSIBLE NEW ICE TACTIC TO DETAIN MIGRANTS

Detained by ICE, he was selling his car, and they trapped him posing as buyers. The moment the hood pops, likely a prearranged signal, unmarked vehicles rush in. More agents emerge. No one identifies themselves. Within minutes, the man is kidnapped.

These are normal demographic questions asked in order to be able to analyze important metrics 🤷🏻‍♀️ and ideally make sure we are making sure everyone has access. been around for as long as I can recall.

80 year old US citizen, brutally assaulted by masked thugs at his car wash business, suffers dislocated elbow and deep bruises on both arms. The assailants were wearing ICE uniforms and gear but they don't appear to have identified themselves or showed any warrant.

Not sure if you’re aware, but actual ICE detainees are missing, disappeared, abused, assaulted or otherwise violated physically, s*xually, psychologically by #ICE officers who are very often sadistic, violent, abusive. This is and has been happening in the USA. Let’s not dismiss reality of millions
