Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.
Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

most of us want some degree of human connection. the irony is that if there is a void now, it's often because of our new relationship with technology.
the solution to the void is more human contact, not more technology.

Sorry, but I’m not pulling punches on this one. Being “anti-ICE” is the only possible “good messaging” that anyone that wants to be on the right side of history can have. Many issues have room for nuance, but this one doesn’t. You’re either anti-ICE or you’re wrong, and likely an awful human being.
i don't really give a shit if consultants think being anti-ICE is "good messaging" or whatever when people are actively being shot, beat, gassed and jailed.
