New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

Yea...
But it seems the western powers are preparing for PR amid the US invading Venezuela.

I appreciate @govpritzker.illinois.gov 's more friendly language about protesters, but it seems it's only words with state troopers protecting gestapo thugs and arresting peaceful protesters.

I mean yeah, but she's also like "yeah, I like that".
My point being, her winning the Nobel Prize isn't a big deal, they're gonna invade Venezuela regardless.
