STOP ICE TODAY Take action to protect your community from ICE.

I gathered a few resources you can use & take action with to protect your communities from ICE:

A reminder to the news media: β€œconflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I've covered ICE / DHS for about a decade now and more ICE agents are willing to talk now than ever before. The confidence the administration is trying to project is absolutely not reflected internally.

It isn’t healthy to be this angry all the time. But it also isn’t healthy if this doesn’t make you angry.

Army vet detained by ICE for 8 hours says he wasn't allowed to call an attorney Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient William Vermie told ABC News that he was tackled and arrested by ICE in Minneapolis and held for eight hours.

They did this to a white male veteran

I'm sure this will improve morale at CBS News.

This is such an important point. This family tried to follow the rules.

The distinction is going to get more important when they start mass deporting the people whose TPS status Trump revoked. They’ll call them β€œillegal” too, even though they were here legally until Trump yanked the rug.

ICE and CBP agents need to understand they're going to be wearing those masks for the rest of their lives.

Where is our national press? The government has been shooting at and harassing clergy for months. This used to be a red line. The reality is their red line moved, not yours. They’re cowards.

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

This is one of those things that in another administration couldve been a months long scandal if the media wanted it to be. call it AgentGate. What did Bondi know and when did she know it? Weeks of opinion pieces etc etc.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I think it's kind of beautiful that this was Rob Reiner's final line on television

Inside Stephen Miller’s Dark Plot to Build a MAGA Terror State He is descended from Russian Jewsβ€”you know, the kind of people who were once denounced as alien and unassimilable. Today, his project is to unleash government persecution of those he deems alien and u...

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety.

We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read:

WATCH β€” CBS News(max) host Marg Brennan asks a clearly planted question to sew doubt about the abortion drug Mifepristone, sounding every bit like a right-wing anti-abortion mouthpiece under the new Bari Weiss regime

No you can't. Telling a computer to paint something for you is not remotely the same as painting something yourself, what is wrong with these people

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.

No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

I Factchecked Trump’s Big Politico Interview – Because Politico Didn’t! Interviewer Dasha Burns allowed the president to tell lie after lie, and also failed to push back on his racism. So here is a rebuttal from Zeteo.

β€œPolitico FIFA-ed Trump into giving them an interview. Having flattered Trump into an interview, Politico then flattered him with a series of softball questions.”

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about.

Would be a shame if it went viral.

"We can't allow fact checkers into the country" is late-stage USSR shit, real end-of-empire stuff

PSA: There is a 30-minute wait for food at the Love Field Starbucks by Gate 9. They are not telling customers that fact when they order food. A riot is about to occur. Consider yourselves warned. (I did not order food. I am just reporting from the front lines.)

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" β€” presumably uniformed military leaders β€” are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.

DHS takes credit for crime being down in Chicago. Data shows that was happening before they arrived. Immigration officials on Tuesday said a drop in crime numbers was thanks to their work. Police data show the decrease was taking place before federal agents arrived in the city.

Trump is a liar. Tear gassing kids in peaceful neighborhoods makes no one safer.

He cannot steal credit from our violence prevention and law enforcement efforts that have reduced crime for four years straight β€” long before his masked agents showed up. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Glad this story is finally public but also incredible that it is taking media so long to dig up what is essentially open knowledge in these communities rn.

It will be interesting to see if he can maintain this high-energy, extremely-online transparency while actually governing. It would be fascinating to see someone actually use this style of media to bring people in to gov't itself, to make them feel involved in administration.
