Don’t worry ICE, Chicago may not want you but there’s plenty of space for you in hell.

I would LOVE it if Texas politicians did the same on our rural SWART buses and combis. We have so few options here on the border, but they zoom around in their tricked out trucks and SUVs, they don't know how challenging it is if you don't own a car.

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

Oooh! I got this via PM,"here in Broadview Illinois at the ICE facility we chant
'Love your neighbor!
Love your God!
Save your soul!
Quit your job!'"
I feel like the one I had heard was slightly different, but I like this one, too!

Y'all, I need a hand: I saw a clergy protest chant that said something along the lines of "ICE repent, quit your job", but now I can't find it. Does anyone know the full text? #AskBluesky #AskBsky

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

@lataco.bsky.social first began as a blog documenting local Mexican cuisine. Now, it’s an essential reporting powerhouse to the city as Trump’s mass deportation plot unfolds.

John Oliver: "If ICE can bother some guys at a roofing job, bystanders can bother ICE at their state-sanctioned kidnapping job."

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

They said this about Eagle Pass for years. If you visit me today, you'll hear crickets. Across the US people are here seeking asylum. Most are not terrorists, nor are they cartel members. Those are conservative lies to stoke fear and racism so government will put public dollars into private pockets

Portland is a “war-ravaged” city that is “on fire,” President Trump warns. But I braved the artillery fire and militia checkpoints to bring you this video report from the front lines.

Every first Monday before the Border Vigil I ask Maverick County officials if any migrants drowned or died of exposure in the previous month. If there were no deaths, we use yellow in our memorial service.

Tonight we'll be using white flowers in memory of the needless deaths in our county.

Democracy Forward just sued the DOJ for undercover FBI videotapes that would show Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, accepting a $50k bribe to steer government contracts.

If you lose a US Congress, governor, or presidential election, you should have to submit proof of applying for atleast 200 jobs before you're allowed to run again.

Most of these folks just don't know what to do with their lives so they just keep going back to the well.

Thank you for this! PDF scans help a lot, but it's not the same. Anyone who tells you different didn't depend on their library for their education/research. Most of my stuff is virtual now, but I'm still on a library book, site, or app on the daily.
