ICE is moving from illegal raids & brutality to ethnic cleansing, just like any good Gestapo would do...

U.S. citizen was detained by ICE on her way to work during a traffic stop.

“Why are you doing this to me?”

No masks, no swapped out plates, no badgeless enforcement!

Sometimes the campaign won't go as planned. But as soon as you realize it has gone astray, you must pivot & reorient the campaign to the current material reality. Assessing our organizing along the way prevents headache & heartbreak. Its growth. Don’t let pivots or needing to assess discourage you.

The complaint names Pete Hegseth as the perpetrator, saying he “was responsible for ordering the bombing of boats like those of Alejandro Carranza Medina and the murder of all those on such boats.” It also claims that Hegseth’s conduct was “ratified” by Trump.

Hegseth's "orders to 'kill everybody,' which can reasonably be regarded as an order to give 'no quarter,' and to 'double-tap' a target in order to kill survivors, are clearly illegal under international law."

I can't stress enough that you should take every opportunity that comes your way to support your local public libraries. Many of them are currently struggling and are being DEFUNDED. Local action matters on this front. Don't sit back until those libraries are gone before taking ACTION.

On your deathbed, you will probably not be thinking, "at least I totally owned those trolls on social media," and if you are it's unlikely there will be anyone there to hold your hand as you go
The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

"Research indicates that (46%) of Indigenous Americans struggle with food insecurity..., compared to about 10% of the general U.S. population"

"Tribal members who live on reservations are allowed to enroll in a commodities program, or SNAP, but not both"

"Many tribal communities are food deserts."
SNAP was restored, but many indigenous Americans still struggle with food insecurity
During the government shutdown, disruptions in food aid rippled across reservations. Both residents and tribal officials had to make tough choices, and are still feeling the financial impacts.

The thing about immigration is that xenophobia and racism are the elite centrist position. Here's a senior fellow at Brookings, spouse of CRFP head Maya MacGuineas, explaining the mere presence of foreigners in Germany is a "problem" that someone must solve with "speed and determination."

Noah Smith's assertions here lie in the assumption that Indigenous nations are not truly nations, but rather, 'racial groups'. This is neither true nor demonstrates a complete understanding of Indigenous nationhood.

No, you are not on Indigenous land, argues Noah Smith. Pieces of territory belong to institutions, not to racial groups.

People in the U.S. need to be paying attention to what’s happening in the U.K., because it’s going hand in hand with what is happening in the U.S., the agitators at work on both sides of the pond are working hand in hand with each other, and both have similar goals of ethnic cleansing.
