Here is a collection of sworn testimonies from detainees being held in ICE custody. Until reading these testimonies, I wasn't fully aware of what is happening. Please read them yourself. We need to know this. We need to understand the consequences of ICE/CBP arrests. assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

We all know sports teams are one of the few ways supremacists can still "own" Black people anyway
The NFL should unionize and co-op,

they have the money to manage themselves in these wild times, if anyone does

I think these athletes need to step up and be a part of society, instead of some dancing toy we all get to watch and forget about the reality we live in

Welcome to February.
January saw us have 4 named storms within 5 weeks in south west England. Not cold so much as extremely wet. And now everything is dank. Really dank.

This is called #anarchy.

The point is that it ain’t just liberal and it ain’t just left us and it ain’t just whatever categories you want to use to divide up the left. It’s really just about everyone trying to figure out what are the things they can do and then just doing them. On a scale that I didn’t know was possible.

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.
The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
