Definitely should be policy anyone acting as law enforcement must be in uniform and provide identification upon request. What civilization allows unidentifiable gun singers to kidnap its citizens?

BREAKING: "ICE Agents In Chicago Area Who Aren’t Undercover Must Wear Badges Or IDs, Federal Judge Rules.
Agents have been concealing their identities by wearing masks and hats without badges or name tags. Advocates say the ruling is a step toward accountability."

Floridians deserve better than excuses. After 20 years in office, career politicians have failed to deliver for Manatee & Hillsborough. We’re building a people’s Congress — one led by citizen voices, not millionaire donors. Join the movement. #VotesNotBoats #FL16 #DeRibasForCongress

Unfortunately, unless it's for corporate, many communities can't get updated infrastructure. Then, when big business needs it, the people have to pay for it 🙄

I think what some of the MAGA mindset mean is that they don't want anyone to have affordable health-care but their politicians.

Justice For All Party Grassroots @justice4allparty.bsky.social · 4d

What is the difference between "qualified immigrants" and "undocumented immigrants"? When the president says you are from a "sh*t hole country" and eat pets... which category are you put in?

Interesting info.

Marjan Geotraveler @marjangeotraveler.bsky.social · 5d

This sums it all up. I feel that many of the ICE thugs spent many years feeling powerless and now need to make up for that with legalized violence. It's going to their head.

Some are already calling it "welfare" but it's never welfare when wealthy bankers are being bailed out. This legislation supports the future of the United States; supports building strong healthy young families, and stimulates the economic stability of communities.

This posting probably came from someone who moved out of a community taken over by crime. You give extremists an inch, and they put everyone in a detention center. The AfroAmerican Community is at risk because some can't always move away from crime. Law enforcement must do better.

ICE said they were only going after “illegal immigrants.”

Then they went after anyone who looked Hispanic or spoke Spanish.

Now they’re going after Black people.

And then the homeless. And they’re just getting started.

If you wonder how it felt in 1933 Germany, you’re there.

A recent study shows that the presence of high levels of structural inequity in a society causes changes to children's brains, both children from families w/ lower incomes as well as those from wealthy families.

Take home: structural inequity harms everyone (with the most vulnerable most impacted).

Study links greater inequality to structural changes in children’s brains

Researchers say findings show inequality creates toxic environment and reducing it is ‘a public health imperative’
