Getting old AF. Life-long liberal. Left US for 7 years while Reagan was pretending to be president. Fond of trees, waterfalls and decent people.

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model.
ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.
This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

Never in my most cynical dreams did I imagine so many people willing to sell out their own country for money, attention, clout, out of spite, ignorance or hate.
That will remain the most heartbreaking part of this ordeal.
America is such a beautiful idea.
We are becoming unworthy of it.

Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

Hilarious fact about this document:
James Earl Ray assassinated MLK jr. When asked if he acted alone, or was part of a larger conspiracy:
*66% of white folk say conspiracy
*100% of Black folk say conspiracy
100%.
Because *some* white folk know about this FBI squad, but *most* Black folk do.

What you might not see is the victim in the car. His feet are pointing out the open car door. An agent is sitting on one of his legs. He’s only wearing crocs.
Bystanders found his legal work visa in his abandoned car.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.
