Investigating a co-ed cheerleading team for including a transgender student.

Seems pretty clear that it’s not about fairness in sports but excluding trans kids.

Maine restaurant workers: Eater.com has put together a general guide for restaurants on forming a plan to protect yourselves and your workers if ICE shows up.

The mayors of Portland and Lewiston have released media statements about ICE planning to send agents to both cities.

It's important to have a plan if interacting with ICE, whether on the street, at work, or in your neighborhood.

Restaurant workers, here's a good guide. PLEASE read it.

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.

Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.

Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

On the bright side there were a bunch of Sara Gideon 2020 campaign refunds in Q4.

Remember: If you gave money to Gideon last cycle and are tired of her holding onto your dough, seems all you have to do is send an e-mail and they'll send you a check.

Want a good grasp on where the current admin and ICE madness in America is headed, if left unopposed?

Read through @joshuafaile.bsky.social's quoted post and excellent thread below.

Don't think it won't happen. Most Americans never thought what's happening now would ever happen here, either.
SUMMARY: The Gestapo’s function was to identify and eliminate real or perceived threats to the Nazi regime, enforcing total political and ideological conformity through surveillance, repression, and terror.

I hope this helps to clarify why I—and many others—call DHS/ICE the ‘American Gestapo’.
🧵: For those that question the comparison of ICE to the Gestapo, here is a list of the Gestapo’s functions and actions under the Nazi regime:

• Identifying, monitoring, arresting, and interrogating enemies of the regime.

• Operating outside judicial oversight, imprisoning people without trial.

They added such an OBSCENE amount to DHS/ICE budget when they passed the Big Ugly Bill while dismantling/defunding depts and agencies that benefit everyday Americans, this kind of travesty will continue unabated.
