In a nutshell, both in Chicago and Seattle, ICE will no longer be able to kidnap people off the streets, public spaces can no longer be used by ICE for ANYTHING! No masks. ICE must have ID and show it. Police can now protect residents from ICE.

Let the lawsuits be filed. Go ahead.

NJ is experiencing flooding that could damage homes, businesses & beachfronts. Seems like a good time to remind folks that Jack Ciattarelli, Repub. running for Gov, previously voted against disaster relief.

As the forecasted 60 mph wind gusts, coastal flooding and several inches of heavy rain encroach on the region, some towns are already feeling the impacts of the severe weather Sunday evening.

On Sunday morning, the National Weather service noted that confidence remained high for major coastal flooding and beach erosion that could be exacerbated by high tide, threatening buildings along the coast.

People who know no peace and who have collaborated on genocide for two years are meeting in Egypt to pat themselves on the back for decimating an entire population and destroying a country. You can’t make this up.

Tomorrow about a third of Perseverance rover staff will be laid off, despite the mission being the penultimate step in a decades long effort to bring samples back from mars.

Reckless, needless budget cuts intended to hinder the pursuit of knowledge.

Firing someone purely for their political affiliation is illegal and is a violation of free speech.

Tweet from The Bulwark: “Q: ‘How many layoffs have you authorized?’ Trump: ‘A lot. It will be Democrat oriented… They should be Democrat oriented. It will be a lot and we’ll announce the numbers over the next couple of days... Many of them will be fired.’”

One, in a group of ICE nazis, pulled a gun on a civilian who demanded they show their faces.

So that's how it's gonna be now: If you (not an undocumented immigrant, an American!) say you're not okay with masked men in unmarked cars chasing people on the streets, they're threatening to kill you.
