ICE isn't a rogue agency.
It’s operating exactly as it was intended: to systematically target and inflict violence on immigrants and marginalized people.
It must be abolished.

Beyond grateful for @envfreefund.bsky.social today. After we had to file a habeas lawsuit to get a bond hearing for our detained client, and an immigration judge granted a bond the family couldn't afford, they jumped into action and now he is FREE! Please support them if you can!

Trump just bombed six more people in the Caribbean, for a total of 27 civilians who have been killed so far by the US military. It’s illegal for the military to target civilians who do not pose an immediate threat. This is murder.

Berks baby jail was a pretty small facility (96 beds) but it managed to hold unimaginable suffering. Now they are going to expand family detention to 7,700 beds.
So, so many children will be traumatized. All so private prisons can make more profits.

Hi @wxpnfm.bsky.social. Just making sure you saw this! It's unacceptable to be playing songs with racial slurs anywhere, much less a majority Black city like #Philadelphia.
Mistakes happen, but at least acknowledge it and promise it won't happen again.
