ICE agent who shot woman dead is 'NOT expected to face criminal charges' as FBI zeroes in on victim's 'history of Trump hating'

In other words, if you have a “history of Trump hating” your life is not worth anything and you may be murdered without consequences.

Adding onto this, according to the YDR data (which peter out after 2019), there's over four thousand Somali refugees in the Metro Atlanta area, largely in Stone Mountain, Decatur, Atlanta, and Clarkston. There's probably some work being done there, I'm just not tied into it.
Here are the communities who will be impacted by this repression.

Expect ICE / CBP raids to ramp up over the next 2 months. Time to get ready.

Every Torah is precious: completely handwritten. Without errors. Every letter inscribed with a prayer. Precious, precious is the written word.
This act of arson was devastating - two torahs were destroyed and the entire library.

Beth Israel is the ONLY synagogue in Jackson.

The synagogue was bombed by the KKK in the 1960s because of its work with the civil rights movement and its fight against racism and segregation.

(For folks asking, I'm happy to grant the Iron & Wine Front flag to the public domain, feel free to use for whatever you want; if you want to make merch or t-shirts or stickers, have at it. If you charge money for stuff, donate the proceeds to help ICE targets or you're a scumbag.)

I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.
ICE recruitment is going well.

Every day we’re told there’s “no other option.” That cruelty is inevitable. That injustice is unavoidable.

That’s a lie.

Everything we’re living through is the result of cruel choices that hurt instead of help, turn the American dream into a nightmare, and make life harder.

I'm hearing about this in a few states. My big question is whether it is preparation for a crackdown on resistance to ICE operations, or a preemptive crackdown on anti war protesters after the planned invasion of Greenland
my friend is a postal worker in minneapolis and they all got letters at work today to show to police to prove they are essential workers authorized to be out. i guess we're to the "papers please" era now officially.

Kind of wild there has been almost no coverage of the fact that the federal government unleashed chemical weapons against literal kids *at school*.

I’m glad people are finally writing about this phenomenon because it feels like everyone I know looking for a job is stuck with an amalgamation of part time work and very few full time opportunities are available.
America’s unemployment rate is low. But so is its job growth. That means many Americans are locked out of stable, full-time jobs, and many are struggling.

“We just want work,” said Glenn Jones, who is on a waiting list for to drive for DoorDash. “Any work.”

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Democrats who want to abolish ice should start introducing legislation to roll back the creation of DHS. It was a specific post 9/11 law that combined previously extant functions into a single new department. Let’s start getting that model legislation out there. (Is it already?)

"How do I prepare?"

You help people who are going thru it right now.

Because this forces you to build the community relationships, infrastructure, and operational rhythm that you need to protect yourself.

Sending aid to others builds resiliency at home. None of us are free until we're all free.
