The Reverse Chotiner —where the interview subject initiates the process of telling on herself. It typically, as here, includes the Demand For A Supervisor, another dimension of snitching.
Kindergarten teacher called a prank ICE hotline thinking it was real. She called to report her 6 year old student to ICE to try to get them and their family deported.
6 years old.
She does not enjoy hearing her own words and actions played back to her.

The overflow room at the Surprise City Council meeting has also filled up (it has a 500 person capacity). I can’t tell how many are still outside but we can hear them chanting “ICE out” in here so it seems like quite a lot.

She also grew up in the area & is rooted here. If you're looking for a Gen Zer to vote for, this is her.
From the Editorial Board: The good news for voters otherwise predisposed to Kat Abughazaleh is that there’s a youthful progressive candidate in the race with similar views but who comes with a record of service and without the ego: Bushra Amiwala.

Anyway, here’s Froy Jimenez alongside far right activists demanding everything be reopened in May 2020. Some troubling protest signs among the coverage of this event, as well as infamous individuals and groups. So you’ll excuse us if we don’t trust Froy’s policy positions. patch.com/illinois/chi...

Speaker Johnson is lying.
He knows that counting mail votes is not “magic” or “fraudulent,” it is following the law.
Echoing these lies shows how beholden Johnson is to the Liar In Chief, but the Speaker of the House should be above such awful behavior.
This is disgraceful.

Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

Here's a thread about #ICELawlessness that I hope you'll consider amplifying.
When people see what's happening, it does make a difference!
For example, Liam Ramos(the 5 year old with the bunny hat) & his father have been released.
It includes ways for you to help.
Call Congress: 202-224-3121.
