Renee Nicole Good, murdered by ICE, was a prize-winning poet. Here’s that poem. Renee Nicole Good, 37, mother to a six-year-old boy, was murdered earlier today by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, a few blocks from her home. According to the Minnesota Star Tribune: [An ICE agent] s…

Make it viral.

First of all this ICE agent that murdered Renee Nicole Good is in perfect health since her vehicle never touched him as you can obviously see! The DOJ & Trump are lying to this Country! She was the mom of a 6 year old boy whose father passed away recently so now he’s an orphan!🤬

Allow me to translate: “it’s okay to kill these people because they’re queers”

This is how ICE agents responded after watching a mother of three bleed out in her car after they shot her multiple times in the head.

🇩🇪 Wenn "militärische Macht“ plötzlich als zulässige Möglichkeit zwischen Verbündeten ins Spiel gebracht wird, bedeutet das, dass bereits eine entscheidende Norm gebrochen wurde

Elon Musk and his fascist friends in the administration never complain about censorship in countries that actually censor Americans.

They comply with regulations in Saudi Arabia, Russia, and China.

They complain about Europe only because they hate liberal democracies

So the US administration considers hate speech and disinformation “American viewpoints“? 🙄
HateAid is an organization that also helps climate scientists to defend themselves against online abuse and threats.
Its founder was awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany 🇩🇪 this year.

Endorsers are not moderators.

You are invited to provide moderators capable in all the languages of the world to arXiv. And above all, the fact (albeit sad, because I would prefer Latin) is that English is the language of research.

With the passing of Jane Goodall today, we lost one of the most consequential voices in environmental science and animal behavior. In 2002, she said, “We have found that…there isn't a sharp line dividing humans from the rest of the animal kingdom.”

Supreme Court Lifts Restrictions on L.A. Immigration Stops

And for now, the Supreme Court has signed off on such dubious practices without an explanation. Every American, including those who want tougher enforcement of our immigration laws, should demand that ICE does its job in a way that protects the rights of all Americans.

A U.S. Citizen Detained by ICE for Three Days Tells His Story A conversation with George Retes, an Army veteran swept up in a California raid

Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented.
