Everything that you’re watching ICE and BP do mimics local policing of racialized neighborhoods. We can compare these federal agencies to European fascists but we can also compare them to the gang units that have terrorized my family.

…succeeded in calling the manager of the company he worked for and told him what happened…told them one of the two had a gold tooth. Someone with ICE LITERALLY pulled out the gold tooth before deporting the two men and if you know your Holocaust history this should destroy you 😪😪😪

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.
ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.
This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class.
This is Kirk's legacy.
You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.
