They went from bumbling around on the Mall to surgical strikes in migrant neighborhoods & targeting key commuter roads for working class neighborhoods at rush hour.

this article shows how critical local partnerships are for ICE to hit their numbers, which is why you should keep the pressure on your local city governments to refuse cooperation with them

ICE had made only 85 arrests in Washington from Jan. 20 through the end of July. But from early August until mid-September, ICE made around 1,200 arrests, according to officials with knowledge of the data.

We detail how that happened:

I've been on Bluesky for five minutes and I've already seen no fewer than five posts about collective transsexual misery.

Hugs all around 🫂 but also girl go to that knitting club. Play some online chess. Write fanfiction. Pick up a guitar.

It's good for your soul.
