Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

Who were the 6 people the Administration just killed without due process? Were they children? Were they victims of human trafficking? WE DON’T KNOW—they refuse to show proof. No one made Trump judge, jury & executioner. This is a gross violation of international human rights.

El Pais: A just energy transition must begin from the principle of shared but differentiated responsibility.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
