The DOJ managed to do something remarkable with the Epstein files. They’ve over-protected the powerful and under-protected the victims.

ICE is lawless . . .

Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that ICE is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found.

ICE generally doesn't comply with their orders, and continues to engage in the same unlawful conduct.
Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.
The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, one the administration has ignored.

The response to the #TumblerRidgeShooting from far-right media, online commentators and even an elected official in Canada is another dark example of how pervasive anti-trans misinformation has become, even in Canada.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

A couple quick ideas: ask your electeds to condemn US policies, organize ppl to pick a US sister city/town and partner with immigrant orgs/churches/etc. there to meet legal and material needs of those in detention and their families. Ask what you can do that will be most useful to them.
