I know everything is terrible but I really think that the continued refusal to seat and swear in an elected D Representative needs to be consistently in the news. Like how is this not scandalous as hell

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

About $25 billion annually could end child hunger in the US. About $20 billion could house folks with housing vouchers. We gave $170 billion to ICE in the big ugly bill. Instead of feeding children and housing families, our tax dollars are going to terrorize communities.

Federal authorities do not have the power to charge state law violations. Only state and subsidiary authorities can do this.

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

Kristi Noem coming out and saying ICE will be at the Super Bowl and suggesting it's because of Bad Bunny is propaganda. CBP and ICE (DHS) work security at EVERY Super Bowl. She is playing y'all. This is what flooding the zone with bullshit looks like. Ignore what they say and watch what they do.

Trump & the GOP are not just saying they don’t want undocumented immigrants to have health care — they’re saying they don’t want millions of Americans to have health care if it means any undocumented immigrant gets cared for in an ER. Not “pro-life”.

Chicago, Illinois, 2025: "They had the Black people in one van, and the immigrants in another van." "They was bringing the kids down, had them zip-tied to each other." "I kept asking, 'What is the morality?' One of them laughed. He said, 'Fuck them kids.'"

it’s not a “immigration raid“ if they’re rounding up American citizens. It’s just a raid on an American city by our own troops.

did you see this? Apparently there were military rappelling onto the building roof from helicopters. It doesn’t seem to be getting much national attention, I think because it’s hard to believe it really happened. But apparently it did.
