This shows my friend Daryn being violently assaulted by federal agents outside ICE in Portland. He is suing them for this incident and another just days later!

The Oregon Department of Justice submitted multiple videos as trial exhibits that show federal officers using force against what appear to be nonviolent protesters outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building on various nights since June.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.
Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_ BREAKING: Per four senior DHS & Trump admin sources, a mass removal of ICE leadership around the country is underway, with up to 12 ICE field office chiefs being removed & reassigned in an effort to increase deportation numbers. I'm told the move is spearheaded by Corey Lewandowski, and a handful of the ICE Chiefs will likely be replaced by Border Patrol & CBP officials, some of whom will be hand-picked by aggressive & controversial Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino. I'm told some of the ICE leadership removed from their positions include the ICE Field Office Directors in: - Los Angeles - Phoenix - Philadelphia - Denver - El Paso - San Diego - Seattle/Portland - New Orleans Border Patrol officials taking over ICE leadership positions would be extremely significant, as Border Patrol and ICE do different things, and I've done numerous ride-alongs/embeds with both. Generally speaking, ICE typically conducts very targeted operations, largely going after criminal illegal aliens or those with deportation orders, but almost always knowing who they are targeting for arrest, often conducting surveillance to learn their schedules before and waiting hours before arresting them if needed. Border Patrol, under Trump 2.0, while sometimes doing their own targeted operations, has been extremely aggressive and has been at the forefront of some of the most controversial immigration enforcement operations we've seen so far, carrying out roving patrols in Los Angeles, Chicago, etc, often at Home Depot, car washes, flea markets etc, leading to a handful of federal judges around the country issuing injunctions against them. A majority of the viral videos you see online are Border Patrol agents, including the use of a Trojan horse style Penske moving truck at a Los Angeles Home Depot, an operation organized by Bovino. ICE often gets blamed for what Border Patrol does, as the media and activists often cannot tell the difference between federal agents, and everyone is called "ICE". I'm told there are growing concerns about the political and PR fallout associated with some of the roving patrols Border Patrol is conducting as lawsuits continue to stack up and mid-terms approach next year. I'm told there is significant friction within different wings of DHS and the administration, with Border Czar Tom Homan & ICE Director Todd Lyons preferring to prioritize targeting criminal aliens & the "worst of the worst" or those with deportation orders, while DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, and BP Commander Bovino prefer to use aggressive tactics to arrest anyone in the US illegally, including but not limited to criminals, to ramp up deportation numbers and achieve President Trump's promises of mass deportations. I am hearing from both sides of this friction. One senior DHS official tells me: "ICE started with the worst of the worst, knowing every target they are hitting, but since Border Patrol started in LA in June, we've (DHS) lost our focus, going too hard, too fast, with limited prioritization. It's getting numbers, but at what cost?". Border Patrol agents I've talked to defend their tactics, with one telling me: "What did everyone think mass deportations meant? Only the worst? Tom Homan has said it himself, anyone in the US illegally is on the table." It's quite a situation, as both sides of this are on the same team, with the same end goals, but different perspectives on how to get there. Another DHS official confirmed the personnel changes to me on deep background, adding that the moves are based on performance and doing what is needed to achieve the best results. Official statement to @FoxNews via @TriciaOhio : "While we have no personnel changes to announce at this time, the Trump Administration remains laser focused on delivering results and removing violent criminal illegal aliens from this country." 7:57 PM · Oct 27, 2025 · 29.6K Views

She ran a resistance network. And during the Civil War she led a literal military raid that freed almost 1000 enslaved people. She was the first woman to lead U.S. troops in an armed assault and known to many as "General Tubman."

mutual aid / community support ask! A member of our community - a disabled Black man who dedicates so much of his time and energy supporting others in our community - needs our help. He was already struggling, and just found out his father is in a convalescent home in Southern CA and doesn't have much longer to live. He wants to see his father before he dies, so needs funds for a plane ticket, food, and place to stay for a few days. Our goal is to raise $1000 for him. Any little bit will help. Please send $ to NotNeutral on either Venm0 or C@shApp and put "see dad" in the comment. I'll update this post with funds raised. Currently at $20/$1000.

A couple weeks ago, I wrote that the MAHA movement does not want to eliminate chronic illness- it wants to eliminate the chronically ill. Since then, RFK Jr’s actions and statements have only reinforced my belief that his HHS will target disabled and sick ppl.

RFK Jr.'s "MAHA" movement doesn't want to eliminate chronic illness. They want to eliminate the chronically ill.
Public health, modern medicine and disease mitigation will suffer under RFK Jr. because he sees sick people- not sickness- as the problem.

At least 2 people—29 and 44 yo—have died while detained at Krome ICE prison near Miami.

The facility is so overcrowded people are sleeping in the bathrooms: “Their faces are literally under the toilet.”

english.elpais.com/usa/2025-04-...
Last weekend, the first protests took place on the access road to the facility, and dozens of people made clear their rejection of the “inhumane conditions” at Krome, which have recently come to light. Outrage began to grow precisely with the news of the death of Maksym Chernayak, a 44-year-old Ukrainian who was in the country thanks to the humanitarian parole program, on February 20. As that news broke, so did the death of Genry Ruiz Guillén, a 29-year-old Honduran, who had died on January 23. Both died in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and had been detained at Krome before being transferred to a hospital where they could not be saved. Details of each case are limited — in that of Ruiz Guillén, there isn’t even an official cause of death — and family members and lawyers are trying to clarify the sequence of events that led to the loss of life to determine whether the deaths could have been prevented. Suspicions about possible irregularities in the protocols are not unfounded. Florida immigration lawyers have known about Krome’s notorious status for years, although the current situation is clearly different. Speaking to a local television station, immigration attorney Katie Blankenship said she would never be able to erase the images of women held at Krome — which began admitting female detainees more than 20 years after an investigation into sexual abuse by guards in 2000. “Every time I walked in there, there was literally a group of women with no room to move, banging on the window, pleading, because they saw someone who wasn’t an agent. They saw that I was a lawyer and said, ‘Please help us. Please help us. Please help us.’” Blankenship adds that her clients — whom she now meets in separate rooms as the meeting rooms have become collective cells for dozens of people — are sleeping in the bathrooms: “Their faces are literally under the toilet.”
