🧊✈️ SEATTLE: Women in chains descend in driving rain from an ICE-chartered Eastern 737 (tail: N917XA) at Boeing Field πŸ‘€

Oh, are you proposing universal basic income, and universal healthcare? Eviction moratorium?

That would be a great step.

Les Milles Camp | Holocaust Encyclopedia Under the Vichy regime, the Les Milles camp held foreign Jews before emigration or, in most cases, deportation to German concentration camps and killing centers.

ICE converting warehouses to deportation camps reminds me of Les Milles, a tile factory that was converted to an infamous deportation camp and prison by the French Vichy regime. Thousands of "enemy aliens" were imprisoned here, many of them were sent from there to Auschwitz and Dachau.

this is also my ongoing frustration. you can not run for office on "democracy is under threat" and then lose and go "oh well, nice game everyone"

they put us in a constant state of hypervigilance & terror begging for our last $5 to save the country and then they do the joint softball game.

50501 Rising Star Kat Abughazaleh for Congress (IL-9)

In the face of major attacks on our democracy, we want to make sure we're uplifting real fighters who are standing up for our rights.

Today, we're focusing on one of our Rising Stars, Kat Abughazaleh, who is running for Congress in IL-9 and has taken the fight directly to ICE.

It’s day 99 of the ICE occupation of MN.

We’re still out patrolling and raising money and delivering groceries to keep our neighbors safe.

Call and ask Mayor Frey to do the same by NOT vetoing Pause Evictions, Save Lives.

Don’t tell me we can’t afford universal basic income or free healthcare.

After detainments and deportations, the lives left behind in Minnesota From abandoned possessions to unpaid rent, many Minnesotans had to lean on family, friends and community organizations for help with their unfinished business.

"Each person plucked from their day-to-day existence left a whole life behind. There are shoes by the front door and an empty bed. There’s a car in the driveway and a job undone. There are pets that need feeding, bills that keep arriving and leases with months left to pay."

How much of a reputation do you have to have for 12 state Senators and representatives to write something like that and sign it?

The Democratic party is as unpopular as it is because its own voters find the party feckless and weak.

All the time in the world to raise money for Democratic politicians, but none for the residents of his state who are being forced out of their homes by federal occupation and state-level indifference. Dude could have had a powerful legacy but chose this.

And people wonder why we don’t trust the police. They get up in front of lots of people and lie. Just gaslight an entire city.

And it’s treated as if it’s normal.

I see people making the point that if this keeps going, we won't have a nation.

But if we have a system incapable of bringing criminals to justice for their criminal acts, without fear or favor, then we ALREADY don't have a nation.

Maybe if your Democrats got off your butts and started treating this like the emergency it is we wouldn’t be here.

3 ICE vehicles were in a parking lot of a Columbia Heights restaurant on Central Ave this afternoon and there was a potential ICE vehicle by Pillsbury at pick up today.

A lot of politicians think it’s time to move on, but how can we move on when this isn’t even over.

I know the loss of human lives is enough of a reason to hate what the US gov is doing to Iran. That said, as someone who adores the sciences?

There's something to be said about the research, about the work towards a better tomorrow that's being wiped away. A love for humanity being erased.

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

I do realize for a great deal of people they don't have a choice. But I have worked with more than my fair share, usually men, who try to "suck it up" and just "work through it" trying to pretend they're not sick.
