A DHS camera man calmly films this kavanaugh stop.

Eventually the public will see some (though not all) of this recorded footage, and it will reveal human rights violations beyond what we thought we knew.

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

Nobel Peace Prize went to obama, the bomber, and kissinger, the butcher. That’s all you need to know about the credibility of this western award. María Corina Machado is a staunch zionist who begged netanyahu to intervene in Venezuela, and promises to hand over the country's oil to US corporations.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

I had a lot of convos with people who said they were sympathetic, but Defund the Police was a "bad slogan". I told them it wasn't a slogan. It was an answer. It was an answer to the constant question "what can we do to actually lower crime and make our neighborhood's safer?"

Anyway. Here we are.

For white supremacists, the end goal has always been to bring back slavery, but it's too extremist to say that aloud. They'll keep shifting the overton window until it's not.

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.
