Per @bygeorgiafort.bsky.social this Hmong man Trump’s goons humiliated & dragged out in the cold (after trashing his apartment and putting a gun to his daughter-in-law’s head) was a naturalized 🇺🇸 CITIZEN with no criminal record.
He was eventually released.

Arlit Maria Martinez is a mother of 4. Her son, Kevin, died of cancer while she was in ICE custody.
ICE refused her request to be at Kevin's side in his final moments. They must let her attend Kevin’s memorial.
Arlit, I hope you hear how many patriots stand with you.

I was prepared for the racism, homophobia, misogyny and violence of these fascists. I was not prepared for the countless ways these people give me the Willies.
The department of agriculture posted this bizarre video on X of children who look like their in a period piece horror movie drinking milk under duress and like I just want to know why? Like what the fuck is this? Why are they being weird about milk? Who are these kids? Are they ok? What the fuck???

Turns out the difference between effectual and ineffectual politicians is not how socialist they are, but rather how much they actually believe in their own policies.

in other words, the more we demand we abolish ICE, the more other people will tell us that’s unpopular, or unstrategic. that’s why they are saying that: because it is becoming popular, and it is strategic (if your goal is “end ICE violence,” not “protect some Democrats from taking a stand on ICE”)

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis.
He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden.
(After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)
