UNREAL! Congressional hearing Tuesday with US citizen Marimar Martinez who was shot by ICE. Rep Garcia notes how the ICE agent bragged to his friends about shooting her, writing 'I fired 5 rounds, and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys." You can NOT reform ICE. Abolish and PROSECUTE ICE!!

Last night, Trump posted a video depicting the Obamas as apes. The most foundational racist idea is likening Black people to apes. Since humans evolved from an ape-like ancestor, racist ideas cast White people as the most evolved people and the furthest away on the evolutionary scale from apes.

TIME SENSITIVE ACTION: Historically, organized labor has achieved gains that extend far beyond its own membership (ie limits on child labor, the 40-hour workweek). These gains depend on workers’ right to collective bargaining, a right that Virginia’s public sector employees currently do not have.

“There’s a baby in the car,” Barry told the agents. “There’s a baby.”
ICE smashed their car window and left shards of glass all over the car seat holding a one month old infant.
Why? To grab an immigrant with no criminal record as part of operation “Catch of the Day”

The government’s arrests of journalists @donlemonofficial.bsky.social and @bygeorgiafort.bsky.social are attacks on press freedom.
Two federal courts rejected prosecuting Lemon, but instead of accepting that defeat, the government has doubled down.

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!
Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.
He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.
His health is declining.
Public outrage might save his life.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Abolish ICE
The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.”
The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

Senators have a choice next week: They can vote for a DHS funding bill that gives ICE and CBP more money to brutalize our neighbors, or they can say ENOUGH. We must demand our senators refuse to give ICE & CBP one more penny or vote for any bill that won’t get these thugs the fuck out of our cities.

Breaking: ICE is now reportedly following white people on grocery runs in Minnesota, suspecting they're delivering food to neighbors too afraid to leave their homes.
Neighborhood instructions:
Don't put the address in your phone.
Don't use GPS.
Write it on paper.
And if you get stopped, eat it.
