ICE has spun a massive surveillance web. We talked to people caught in it The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Border Patrol, is using a broad web of surveillance tools — purchased as its budget has ballooned under this administration — to...

This dystopian future is here now.

"Emily, who NPR is only identifying by her first name because she fears retribution from the federal government, says she followed an ICE vehicle at a safe distance into a parking lot.

I’m ashamed that I’m a citizen of the USA. We’ve just become murdering terrorists. No ethics, no morals and being run with the most incompetent government in history. Can we stop this nightmare, please!!

Why Trump Is Partnering With Christian Nationalists | Robert Reich
Why Trump Is Partnering With Christian Nationalists | Robert Reich Donald Trump keeps comparing himself to Jesus.Whether he actually has a messiah complex or is just conning his supporter

Top U.S. military commanders have reportedly told their troops that Trump's War on Iran will "cause Armageddon and mark Jesus' return to earth."

It's yet another example of the dangerous relationship Trump has cultivated with Christian nationalists.

Anyone else having flashbacks to the Iraq War when we were (correctly) convinced there was no legal basis for invasion & a million of us marched through the streets of London to protest?

Who’d a thunk quarter of a century later they’d have a President who makes Dubya look like Neville Chamberlain?

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Last night, I was notified that another person has died in ICE custody.

That’s 39 people who have died on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term.

We cannot grow numb to this. There must be immediate oversight and accountability.

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE

then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results"

and i was like.

New center-new performance. This dance touches to the depths of the soul. It freezes with the horror of reality. It hurts more that this horror is against the background of symbols of our greatness. Fall against greatness. Now. Our choice!?!?!?

I have never bawled my head off from watching dance before, but this had me sobbing uncontrollably.

This tribute to Renee Good & Alex Pretti dipicting #ICELawlessness is something EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN NEEDS TO SEE!

Bravo to the dancers of Hungryman Productions & choreographer Mathew Steffens!

There are far more voters than ICE agents. People should plan to stay at their polling place all day. Make it a party. Meet your neighbors. Talk politics. Gather food trucks. Make it a safe place for voters who are nervous. ICE agents always back off when they are outnumbered.

You have helped me.

Inspirationally, by bravely using your painful past to teach about abusers.

You have reminded me that color can be an important part of resilience & resistance.
To be bright and sparkling in a gray world is admirable.

You helped me return to art.

I am grateful you exist.

If we are required to show a passport in order to vote, doesn’t that make passport fees an illegal poll tax?

Y'all, ICE thugs are still terrorizing people in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

They are counting on America looking away, and it's currently working. Please tell everyone you know, please reach out to people with huge followings, and ask them to help refocus our attention on the ongoing abuses.
