Here’s a good message to send to the icicles when you encounter them.

A renting of an ice agent in baseball cap mask over face and neck dark sunglasses Bulletproof vest that says Police federal agent. Under the image is text that says. “can’t spell cowardice without ice. Show your face Gestapo scum“

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

In 2025, the federal minimum wage is officially a poverty wage ⚠️

In the US, no one can live with dignity on $7.25/hr.

But instead of raising the minimum wage, Republicans are trying to cut Medicaid & make it harder for workers to access basic needs programs like SNAP: www.epi.org/blog/the-fed...

The federal minimum wage is officially a poverty wage in 2025

In 2025, the federal minimum wage is officially a “poverty wage.” The annual earnings of a single adult working full-time, year-round at $7.25 an hour now fall below the poverty threshold of $15,650 (...

This is exactly Trump's dirty plan:

Incite violence, argue citizens are impeding the law by Trump himself being unlawful and doing much worse to the immigrant community to establish authoritarianism.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

The media’s job is to make you think that the people who want to give you healthcare are just as crazy as the people trying to take it away.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.
