Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car.
He said “do something b*tch” and shot her 5 times.
The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled “f*cking bitch”.
They hate women & it shows.

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional.
We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

After viewing Bisan’s last message about the weaponization of hunger that Israel has officially begun was absolutely heartbreaking and saddening to witness in realtime that there could be such world absence of simple humanitarian assistance for the starving men, women, and children of Gaza.

I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.
