Lol this survey was even conducted BEFORE they murdered two people here. I hope morale is so low in these organizations that the employees start making some important life decisions!
What's morale like at CBP & ICE right now? New survey data are damning.
*21% of CBP respondents (9% of ICE respondents) believe their agencies' political leaders maintain high standards of integrity.
*Only 23% at CBP (18% at ICE) feel confident they could report illegal acts without retribution

Was Nintendo implying that their new, smaller Game Boy was so cool it could stop psychosexual serial killers?

In 2021 I was telling people in my field of art history to stop legitimizing the use of image recognition, to stop applying for grants to use AI in identifying the subjects of portraiture bc this was what such work was being used to further. All this was obvious. theconversation.com/how-ai-is-hi...

Georgia Fort posted a video on FB this morning that she was being arrested by federal agents for her coverage of a demonstration at a church in St. Paul a couple weeks ago.

Just a fundamentally evil, malevolent person. Rotten to the very core.

Not the point of this statement on the blatant first amendment violation against Don Lemom, but the two people murdered by federal agents in Minneapolis weren’t protestors. Renee Good and Alex Pretti were legally observing and helping their neighbors.
Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

Stronger statement than Chuck Schumer tbf
Cosmopolitan asks Sydney Sweeney if she ever intends to publicly state her political beliefs:

“No. I’m not a political person. I’m in the arts. I’m not here to speak on politics. That’s not an area I’ve ever even imagined getting into… but I don’t believe in hate in any form.”

I've spent the past month in awe of Minneapolis residents' courage, so I interviewed a few of them about how we might recreate that here in Philadelphia.
What Philadelphia Can Learn From Minneapolis’s ICE Resistance
“The main thing here is that we are just relentless in supporting our neighbors,” one Minneapolis resident said. “That's it. We don’t care where they came from originally.”

The Democrats are going to look so fucking strong holding up a printout of the DHS Code of Conduct at a press conference after the next American civilian is murdered in the street by the federal government. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻😤😤😤
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the party agreed on three main goals:

° Require warrants in some cases and ICE coordination with state and local law enforcement

° Create a code of conduct and enforce it

° Require agents to wear body cams and not masks
Democrats demand new ICE restrictions as government shutdown looms
After federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, Senate Democrats say they’ll block a massive government funding package without policy changes.

"America has paid the highest price/and now they’ll never clean all the blood off the ice

America, why can’t we all agree? It’s ok to judge and have some hate for people/if you base it on their ethics, not their ethnicity."

I mean, thanks for doing the research and looking into this, but no fucking shit!
Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...
ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested
There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.

this is why it’s important that the media doesn’t make it seem like ICE are just in minneapolis. it’s all over minnesota

brainerd is two hours north of the twin cities, not a huge city at all. and they showed up for a vigil to support these workers

There are so, so many people in the ::swallows bile:: “pundit class” here in America that deserve to be reminded of their complicity in this for the rest of their lives.
