Persistently annoyed by liberal refusal to see the longstanding system of immigration, the one that effectively places undocumented workers outside of the protections of labor law and subjects them to racial terror, as a strategy of labor discipline that affects all workers.

The number of people who were at school with Nigel Farage and claim to have witnessed racist behaviour by him has now reached 28.

When is he going to apologise?

Yep, the warning signs have been around for a long time. It is essential we understand how fascism works. "Propaganda. There’s a certain kind of fascist propaganda where everything is inverted. The news is the fake news. Anti-corruption is corruption.” Jason Stanley, author of How Fascism Works.

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented.

ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”.

Why is ICE harassing women?

Fred Rogers will always be one of my heroes (from upbringing)

Just because
- a child isn't ours
- we aren't part of a particular community
- we don't live in a particular country
- someone else's problem isn't ours

It shouldn't NEED to affect us directly for us to advocate & do what we can to help

Props to the protestors who the New York Times credits for foiling ICE’s intended raid in Chinatown earlier today.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.
