In the wake of this tragic election, I’m remembering how I found comfort years ago in Janine Benyus’ observation that “we are a young species.” Maybe we’ll make it, maybe not..
But I’m re-watching her beautiful short video about #Biomimicry anyway and finding some comfort.

This is a public record of hundreds of reported instances of possible misconduct by ICE and other Homeland Security agents.

It records incidents after they happen to assist in our Constitutional oversight responsibilities.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Awful. Trump admin is deporting a 23-year-old NC woman who came here at the age of 14 as an unaccompanied minor. Her father was murdered and mother died of cancer. All she has are two traffic citations, per this report from Charlotte Observer's Dan Kane:

This is a win for due process.

The Trump administration was keeping immigrants with ZERO criminal records locked up in detention for weeks and months on end. A judge just ruled that these individuals must be entitled to bond hearings. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tho...
Thousands of immigrants could be eligible for bond hearings, striking down DHS policy: Judge
The decision could potentially allow thousands of immigrants who have been subject to mandatory detention to be released.

In 2022, Donald Trump sued me and others associated with the Clinton campaign for RICO. We did not cave. We fought. First, we won in a Florida trial court. Today, we won in the 11th Circuit.

To the law firms, media corps and billionaires who bow down: Learn a lesson. Have some dignity and fight.

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:

“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
