Happy to retire in ‘24 after 25yrs of teaching in a PreK-8 NYC public school. I don’t miss the early morning wake-ups but I do miss the many little & big scholars I was able to meet, teach & hopefully inspire. I’m also a cat & dog dad, twin & uncle.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

Today, Rep. Castro and I visited precious Liam and his father, Adrian, at the Dilley Detention Center.

My heart absolutely breaks for Liam, his family, and every person being wrongfully detained.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Just think of how North America would be right now with PM Mark Carney in Canada, Kamala Harris in the US, and Claudia Sheinbaum (sorry for the spelling) in Mexico. North America would be unstoppable, what a damn shame.

As Republican Senators pitch the idea of having Trump issue executive orders to dial down ICE in exchange for funding DHS, let's all be very clear: AN EXECUTIVE ORDER IS NOT THE LAW. (1/x)

Victor Wembanyama says that being a foreigner in the United States makes him hesitant to speak up about Minneapolis.

“I know I’m a foreigner. I live in this country. I am concerned.”

Q: “Is part of your hesitance being a foreigner?”

“For sure.”

Disappointing to see people on here talking about their ideal ICE/CBP reforms.

It is a terrorism organization that is conducting terror campaigns.

Abolish.

At minimum.

That's it.

Ilhan Omar: “In the 4 years when Biden was president, my death threats went to almost zero — now they are back up — so there is a clear correlation between his presidency & the political violence that we see & the political danger that a lot of members of Congress & electeds feel across the country”

The City of Philadelphia has introduced legislation to limited ICE in the city. The Federal Agents can not be masked, must have ID visible, must have arrested warrants signed by federal judges. They can't attack people. If they can't do this, they will be arrested.
