This #SupremeCourt ruling approving apartheid-style “show your papers” dictates for all Latinos will go down in history as the equivalent to the Taney Court’s Dred Scott decision.
Maybe we should just make Brown people wear identifying signs? Make ICE’s job even easier?

Indiana legislators doing a single right thing isn't heroic. It's not astounding. It's barely hitting the bar for the bare minimum of caring about democracy and community.

It is, however, a sign that organizing and action are effective.

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

DO NOT Give pets as Xmas gifts.
Too many of these “gifts” end up at the shelter .
A Dog/Cat is a gift we give ourselves and they come with many
sacrifices.
Time,money, and a certain amount of collateral damage in their puppyhood.

This is probably the clearest indication yet that the administration understands what they’re doing in the Caribbean is illegal.

They’re now threatening the ICC with sanctions if they investigate Trump and his team.

This is the difference between the Democratic and Republican parties. One cares about actual outcomes for the Nation and its people and one cares about power. It is painfully obvious the problem with the Dear Leader is not his message.

As people made their way into a naturalization ceremony, ICE officials stopped 38 of the 100 applicants and told them they wouldn't be leaving with U.S. citizenship. The immigrants — who passed every step in the naturalization process — needed only to take the oath of allegiance to become citizens.

Dozens of people arrived at Indianapolis Union Station thinking they'd become U.S. citizens only to learn their participation was "canceled."

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

ICE are thug scum.
ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.

Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.

Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara apologies to the US citizen who was brutally detained by ICE.

“This is embarrassing”.

ICE is embarrassing America.

That’s why tourist revenue is down.

That’s why people don’t want to visit.

That’s why there’s boycotts.

It’s an embarrassment & a danger.

Mockler: As much as the Trump admin tries to act like it's different from prior Republican administrations, they're doing the same thing. They cut taxes for the richest, they cut benefits for the poorest, and then they go to war for either regime change or for oil.
