This is Pastor Michel Tshimankinda getting detained, brutalized & experiencing #ICELawlessness. They weren't looking for him—they were looking for someone else. They had no warrant, just brute force & if it can happen to him, it could happen to anyone.
So talk about it at your holiday celebrations.

Of course they wouldn’t want to include academic analysis in slanted news reports that are bound to conflict with the facts. And we know who the “elites” are in this context, too.

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

ICE shot Richard outside a mall. I visited mall security office. Guard said ICE and LAPD came in, used thumb drive to copy mall’s video footage, and THEN DELETED THE EVIDENCE from mall’s local drives. He showed me the missing timeline part saying “no data.”

Huge win for Richard Noticias LA, TikTok journalist shot by ICE. Criminal charges dismissed with prejudice, meaning can’t be refiled.
ICE did him DIRTY. Repeatedly. Inhumane treatment, basically medical torture.
Still in ICE custody on immigration case. They owe him unconditional release.

Democracy doesn’t fail because people vote.
It fails when voters are misled, choices are distorted, and accountability disappears afterwards — then we’re told this is what democracy looks like.

The good news is that we do have power. Tyrants don't want us to know it, but by raising our voices, calling Congress, marching in protest, talking to others, recording & sharing these stories we are making a difference!
We need more people, so help spread the #ICELawlessness hashtag & SPEAK OUT!

A smarter model for paying for college: income-based repayment. You start paying your student loans only once you earn enough to comfortably get by. That turns higher ed debt into something more like a tax surcharge on success, not a choke collar on people who are struggling.
