Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.
It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

Advocates argue that the off-duty ICE agent wasn't trained for the situation and should have called police and waited for them to arrive.

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car.
He said “do something b*tch” and shot her 5 times.
The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled “f*cking bitch”.
They hate women & it shows.

Medical sources in Gaza tell Drop Site heavy Israeli airstrikes are hitting across the Strip, with one source citing “dozens of strikes.” They described the situation as feeling “like the war has returned.” At least 13 people have been reported killed today, half of them children.

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

Even if you think you’re not at risk, you could get caught in the crossfire of ICE gunning people down in residential streets or have masked gunmen storm your restaurant and haul kitchen staff away as you eat lunch

Over 40 people were injured, mostly students.

A gentle reminder - fit tested N95s offer better protections than surgical masks. If youre adopting masking due to "super flu" head loops usually give a better fit than ear loops, and masks with a bendable nose piece fit tighter. For an easy infographic: whn.global/mask-fit-mat...

It doesn’t matter how much you dislike Maduro, that doesn’t justify a violation of international law and the UN Charter. You can’t call on “all parties” to respect international law and not call out US lawlessness.
