‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’

They’re calling out CUFI’s role in fueling U.S. militarism, backing war with Iran, and supporting Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Follow @therealnews.com for more

The first Democratic governor who sends their state troopers into an ICE field office to free someone ICE has kidnapped is going to be president in four years.

What those ICE officers did was ASSAULT on US Representatives. May they be so charged.
Let’s go @balint.house.gov, please exert your oversight on any and all ICE facilities or leased facilities in VT. Don’t back down. This is second mile time.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka.

They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

I’m old enough to remember that there was no Dept of Homeland Security prior to 9/11. That was another moment when fear was used for the fascist, billionaire agenda.
Everyone loves Sen. Leahy, but I believe he brought the ICE data processing center to Williston, VT.

#AbolishICE
In Reagan's 1980s, America had just 35 undocumented immigrants behind bars. Today, nearly 48,000 sit in squalid detention, many thrown there by a mask-wearing U.S. secret police that smashes homes, cars and violates human rights

It's time to abolish ICE. My column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

The nightly parade of horror stories about an American secret police proves the current system is broken beyond repair.

Vermont Rite of Passage: 22 years and first time getting stuck in the mud. So Vermonty, 2 folks tried to push me out. One neighbor walking the road was an old work colleague. And the tow truck MacGyver was my activist friend’s dad.

I have tried to follow #popefrancis guidance when asked for $ on the street. Give, look the person in the eye, and offer your hand. I did this today. We talked about the pope. I passed by the man again later. He said, “I’ve been sick since I was 16. Schizophrenia. I don’t want to bother nobody.” 🙏🏻

This Tax Day, we're left wondering 1) How will the Courts hold this administration accountable for refusing to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia from an El Salvadorian gulag and 2) How can we as people of conscience financially support a government that does not respect or uphold our Nation's highest law?
"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps.
This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped"

I share this because I want to lift up the heroic #serenity of this woman, Elsy, grabbed by ICE thugs. She knows her rights. She sweetly calms her daughter. She is dignified. She does not deserve this. Her calm presence outshines these armed cowards in face masks. #shameonthem
“Mommy, no. Mommy.”

Daughter captures the moment masked ICE agents smash the window of her mother's car in order to take her into custody.

The government claims the 52-year old seamstress is an associate of the MS-13 gang.

To my MAGA neighbor: I don't think we've had a chance to meet, but I believe we both live in X, if we are on the same email forum. Because we are neighbors, and not just anonymous people on the internet, I thought I'd let you know that I received your message.

I’ve been trained well in the Spectrum of Allies. In a campaign, we focus on who can be moved into action, and we ignore active opposers. This is #resist 101. But what about loving our neighbors? All of them. #recovery teaches me love myself and my qualifier/alcoholic. So MAGA neighbor, what now?
