ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

Holy shit.

Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him β€œI don’t care.”

Devastating new CNN poll on the anniversary of Trump’s first year in office: voters think he’s made everything worse β€” crime, free speech, health, global security. Literally every promise.

Dems should absolutely be going hard on dismantling ICE etc. Easy to get right wing support for it just say "so you all want the next Dem president to have this power?"
Like you say they like it right NOW, but remind them there's a chance the folks they're afraid of might get control of it.

Joe Rogan currently with a better understanding of ICE than the Democrat Governor of California.

Libs please drop this fool from your vision boards.

Periodic reminder that this guy LOST his election in Minnesota and he's doing more for those constituents than the Mayor and the Governor combined
"If you want to investigate fraud, bring an accountant,” Stancil, a Democratic activist and education policy adviser told me as we drove around ... The ICE agents in Minnesota don’t look like accountants. They look like soldiers. And you don’t bring soldiers unless you want to fight a war."
Richard Warnica: I spent the week in Minnesota. The only thing I’m sure of now is that more people are going to die
As confrontations between ICE and protestors and activists grow more common, the tension only rises.

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.

this completely horrifying. ICE is a domestic occupying threat against us all
21-year-old activist injured by ICE:

I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.
