What are the odds that these ICE folks who can’t risk unmasking now were complaining endlessly about having to wear a mask during the peak of COVID?

These are great! Note: even public businesses can put up signs indicating private/employee-only areas. Page 5 of the "Know Your Rights" guide on the Monarca page has some concise info about this!
KYR still matters, even if *they* aren't respecting it.

📱 Using your #RightToRecord!
In the U.S.– no matter what your immigration status is– you have the right to record immigration enforcement agents. This is a powerful tool for exposing their tactics, combatting abuse, and fighting detention.

WHOA. The FBI was/is spying on a Signal chat for a New York immigration court watch group, claiming they were “anarchist violent extremist actors.”
Your reminder that the government is watching and don’t say anything in a big group chat you wouldn’t say on TV.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF
