Proud that AZ Democratic legislators walked out of the joint legislative session today as ICE Director Homan spoke, in order to highlight the people who are being disappeared without due process and often without any criminal history. Check out this story from

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead itâs a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country. As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

Well, this is really something. A majority of *working class whites* disapprove of ICE, per new NYT poll. Dovetails with the unpublished data that I got from Quinnipiac finding similar on working class more broadly (see below). (cc

đ¨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Climate scientists are also obsessed with Greenland, not because of the Mercator projection, but because the melting of the Greenland ice sheet is going to raise sea levels significantly, change ocean circulation, and be generally very bad for humanity.

In the last 18 days alone: - Two men in ICE custody have killed themselves (jails are supposed to protect against this) - Two men died of cardiac-related issues - One man was reportedly choked to death by a guard - One man died of fentanyl withdrawal (family question the medical care provided)
