Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

One of my favorite Spider-Man issues is where Spidey sees Human Torch and his girlfriend, gets jealous, and then crashes their party and makes a complete ass of himself.
Definitely my favorite version of PP!

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

I think they know that it's not quite there yet, but there are producers out there that are so eager for AI to replace people that they actually have to pay, that they're going to keep running it up a flagpole until people start to salute.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell'

A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

Is there any character where secret identities are used as well as with Spider-Man?

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

State governments are going to be our only protection against these guys. We need to you in Trenton, Mickie!

This interview was... terrifying. THIS is the guy we're expecting to lead the Democratic party?
I really, really hope he sits down and listens to this interview, and reevaluates his strategy. And maybe steps down to make way for someone with actual vision.

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse.

Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away.

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives.

He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.
