Targeting disabled and neurodivergent people is a hallmark of fascism. These men know what they are doing and do not care because autistic lives simply do not matter to them.
U.S. citizen, Aliya Rahman was on her way to a doctor's appointment at the Traumatic Brain Injury Center when she was brutalized by #ICE on Tuesday.

"Masked agents dragged me from my car and bound me like an animal, even after I told them that I was disabled," she said.

Imagine there was a third party with 72 MPs, oh yeah, there is! The Lib Dems!

If only the media gave them the same level of coverage.

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.

Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.

Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

Quite incredible how the BBC is not covering any of the violence against protestors in US America.

#r4today
A protester is currently lying in a hospital bed with a piece of shrapnel in his neck 7mm from his carotid artery.

While he lay bleeding on the pavement, blinded in his left eye, gasping for air, agents did not call a medic. They dragged him and sneered: "You're going to lose your eye."
