A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Same synagogue:

“On Sept 18, 1967, Ku Klux Klan members planted a bomb that destroyed much of the Rabbi’s office and part of the library.

“Two months later, the same Klan members bombed the Nussbaum home while the rabbi was home with his wife. No one was hurt.”

An arsonist hit a Mississippi synagogue Saturday. Seven Torahs were damaged or destroyed in the fire.

One Torah, from the Holocaust, was in a glass case and wasn't touched.

The same synagogue was bombed by the KKK in 1967.

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson: "There was a time that we could take [the federal government] at their word. That time has long passed. That is why we are calling on ICE to halt all operations in Portland until a full and independent investigation can take place."

When is the best time to remove a leader who is prone to conspiracy theories and racial scapegoating and who has toppled one country and is threatening to invade others? If only history were clearer

The president of Venezuela must be held legally accountable for his crimes, which the Supreme Court forbids to happen for the president of the US, who recently pardoned the president of Honduras for similar crimes.

Yep, the level of vicious bigotry is extreme and we can cannot give an inch. There is a movement on the far right, supported by billionaires and powerful people in the White House, who want to ethnically cleanse Somalis from the U.S., and we must describe it as such and treat it as such.
This is the "testing the waters" phase of the playbook. The GOP ecosystem targets groups like Somalis, Haitians, and trans people specifically because they've calculated that the average person's passive disapproval won't ever turn into active defense. They're exploiting public apathy.
i'm really having a hard time getting past the "surely we can all agree that Somalis are worse than trash" thing. this feels new and very bad

This unbelievably dim loser thinks he comes off well in this video, as he tries to force his way into a daycare.

The employee asks “what department” they’re from, and he says “we are from ourselves” — because being an entitled white man empowers you to act like a vigilante, apparently?
uhhh yeah I can see why these childcare properties weren't eager to let in some rando dudes asking "where are the kids?"
