Folks are saying that the abuses we see by ICE or CBP are because they grabbed anyone who wanted to join, and that these are the results of the untrained/unvetted new recruits.

And... I'm sorry, no.

ICE Agent training is 27 weeks.

Their recruitment drive started 11 weeks ago.

Autistic people aren’t broken versions of normal.

We are the proof that “normal” was never real.

The world needs our way of seeing - it just doesn’t know it yet.

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

A record 29% — nearly a third! — of all new cars purchased in California during July, August, and September were zero-emission vehicles.

DC may be fine with selling out American innovation to China, but California will keep charging ahead toward cleaner air for our communities.

Kamala is all out of f*cks and I’m here for it 🔥

We see you, @codepink.bsky.social

Your paid performative agitators pop up on her book tour like they think we don’t know the VP’s job.

The VP doesn’t set Middle East policy, the President does. The VP’s role is to support the President, period.

There are some folks like Pritzker and Newsom standing up for democracy and the chance to debate ideas and principles in the future. They are taking a lot of heat for it and that shit is stressful. Fighters like that won’t be criticized by me if they don’t do everything right.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Soon it will be show us your papers. This must stop.

A tweet by James Surowiecki replying to David J. Bier. Surowiecki asks, “Where in the Immigration and Nationality Act does it say that US citizens have to prove that they're citizens or else be arrested?” The quoted tweet by Bier reads, “ICE agents to US citizen: Turn around or you're getting the dog,” accompanied by a photo of a man wearing a face mask and standing near vehicles at night.
