Underneath the name Charlie Hebdo is a pile of bloodied dead bodies representing US citizens killed by ICE. The pile of bodies are collected in one corner to represent the stars of the US flag and the streaks of blood caused by them being dragged across the ground form the red and white stripes. In the foreground an armed skinhead officer with an ICE vest is dragging his latest victim with multiple gunshots to join the pile. The world is watching in horror.

Wow.

my grandmother, an Auschwitz survivor, was Anne Frank’s neighbor in Amsterdam, and Oma thinks this comparison is perfectly apt

Fwiw several people whose grandparents fled the holocaust to come to the USA made this exact comparison to me in Minnesota last week, saying this was what their grandparents told them about. The difference is that people in Minnesota have their neighbors’ backs.

The truth of this brings tears of frustration and rage to my eyes.

I grew up with Alex Pretti The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

SUSAN COLLINS, unlike Murkowski, isn’t calling on Noem to step down. When asked, Collins says: β€œI have urged her to have a pause in both Minnesota and Maine on this surge of enforcement.”

Senator Ruben Gallego says no to DHS money as long as Stephen Miller is in office:

β€œStephen Miller is the brains behind the most unhinged and depraved policies we’ve seen in generations…. No funding DHS with that creep calling the shots.”

Deaths in ICE detention

Deaths in ICE detention

Deaths from measles

Deaths from measles

These two charts came up in back to back posts on my feed. First shows deaths in ICE custody. The second, deaths from measles.

The two charts present data differently (bar chart vs overlaid year lines) but share one obvious thing in common:

Trump’s policies are actively killing people

and in case you didn't know
That basement has a cellar & a lotta floors below
There's a dungeon buried under but how deep god only knows
Every day we scrape the bottom, every day we reach new lows

Another Border Patrol shooting in Arizona. A person is in critical condition while CBP and DHS hide behind β€œinternal reviews.” This is what militarized enforcement looks like: violence first, excuses later. ICE, CBP, and DHS keep getting away with it. Human lives are not disposable.

I see ICE is still shooting people (Arizona). Same spin as all the others, but without video evidence suggesting otherwise, I doubt we will know anything of the actual truth.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

For better or worse, public law schools have to account for state politics when making decisions about who to hire as their next dean.

But hiring someone and *then* rescinding the offer is something else altogether, and ought to be a huge black eye for the University of Arkansas.

ICE in Minnesota is reminiscent of the firehoses used during the Civil Rights era. Images are compelling evidence that words can't compete with

Four Oglala detainees located, three still in ICE custody - ICT The four Lakota detainees were reportedly sent to a former concentration camp used during the Dakota Wars

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

His 6 month old stopped breathing!

HIS SIX MONTH OLD STOPPED BREATHING!

A father was getting his kids out of the neighborhood because it was unsafe & ICE threw flash bangs & tear gas at his car with children & a baby inside!

His 6 month old stopped breathing & all the children were hospitalized!

Not sure who needs to hear this, but the Insurrection Act isn’t the same as β€œmartial law.” It authorizes the molitary to engage in civil law enforcement. And not clear that even then, whether they can enforce state criminal laws

You may not agree with everything you read in our paper. But we trust you to read it and decide for yourselves. That’s why we print statements from powerful people we like without printing the facts showing those people are lying to you. You can do that part. We trust you.
