I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

People, contact your local bar association or immigrant support organization to see if you can help with courtroom work. Keep fighting ACLU!

Where are you located? I’ve been observing in court rooms in San Francisco with growing dismay. In most cases, things run, basically as they should, but there are court rooms in which real tragedies are unfolding. And the behavior of the judge, DHS attorney, and ICE agents is a disgrace.

Some of them are… since they’re masked and removing car license tags and acting with impunity, who knows?

Have to disagree! I entered into my richest possible life via reading. Inspired me to leave home and discover the world. You can read and accomplish a lot at the same time… not mutually exclusive!❤️

Also portals into the hearts and minds of other humans, also the gateway to understanding other cultures. Reading can create true empathy in human hearts.

You know very little from a person’s profile. I grew up in NE for example. I detasseled corn to save up for school. We shouldn’t make assumptions about each other based on snippets of info. Do check your own prejudices. I’ll try to manage mine.

I’m not judging by a “fancy name” — check their archive. They are non-partisan. I rather suspect that’s not true of you.

This is demonstrably untrue. It takes about five seconds to google it. www.brookings.edu/articles/cou... Countering organized violence in the United States

Countering organized violence in the United States
Political violence in the United States is a grave threat not only to the lives of Americans, but also to the health of American democracy.

because they feared the proposed experiment would crash and burn and ruin our reputation. There does seem to be lots of crashing and burning in that private industry space…

So, I worked in research administration in a major public university, and I saw how private industry (aerospace, to name one example) wanted to make use of our researchers and infrastructure. But they wanted to go way faster and more carelessly than, say, NASA would permit. So our guys said no

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

💯Down to every ICE agent breaking a car window while terrified people are in the car and sweeping people from the streets while masked for exercising first amendment rights. “Just following orders” is not a defense

It’s so hard, because our reliable media world has been disappearing before our eyes. There are good individuals, but the corporate newsrooms lack all backbone and accountability

Did anyone else wake up this morning and get a shock when they discovered that the NYT relegated Senator Booker’s historic speech to a buried audio clip? Please raise some Cain!
