Like many Americans, we’re horrified by the unconscionable violence from ICE agents.
We need to know if this is how ICE is training officers.
We sued ICE last April to get it to release its policy and trainings on use of force. We’re still fighting for their release.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Wow— “Cardinal Tobin told hundreds of faithful gathered online that now is the time to say no — no to violence, no to indifference, and no to funding the U.S. government’s own “machinery of death.”

Excellent Tim Miller.
A reshuffle of the faces in charge, and one guy leaving isn't even the beginning of being enough. We need ICE and CPB out of Minnesota. And we need fundamental changes in the behavior of ICE everywhere.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Exactly right.
Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.
Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.
Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.
Every possible angle.

if you're able, provide food and fresh water for the birds
Climate change is causing many migratory birds to arrive at their breeding grounds earlier than usual, which can lead to mismatches with the availability of food resources like insects and plants.

I’m so tired of the “What radicalized you?” question.
I’m tired of it because so much of what’s considered “radical” is just basic empathy and regard for human rights, taking a stand against obvious fascism and speaking out when people lie and defend cruelty.
That shouldn’t be “radical”.
