Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever. Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."

A copy of a blank administrative warrant. The only person who signs it at the end is an "immigration officer."

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Today is the first provincially recognized Two-Spirit and Trans Day of Visibility in Manitoba. It was so humbling to hear from local icon Feather Talia about how allies can step up to protect the lives of our gender-diverse family.

Feather Talia speaks at a the podium in the legislature. A trans pride flag covers the left side of the image and over it the text reads "If you see us today, then fight for us tomorrow. -- Feather Talia"

A photo on the left of the screen features Leah in a jacket in an autumn setting. The text to the left reads "I honour and thank all Two-Spirit, Trans, and gender-diverse people. We deserve a world where visibility is safe and validating for everyone. You are so loved. Trans rights are human rights. -- Leah Gazan"

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! 🏳️‍⚧️ ⠀ Did you know?⠀ ⠀ The ASL sign for ‘transgender’ is similar to the ASL sign for ‘beautiful’ but is signed on the middle of the chest. Illustration by Deaf trans artist Carlisle Robinson. #TDOV #DeafTrans #DeafTransgender #DeafTransPride #ASL #QueerASLSigns ⠀⠀

⠀⠀
Image description via Carlisle: an illustration of ASL for transgender in trans pride flag color. The sign starts with hands almost like high five but slightly bent with thumb a bit inside, as if you’re holding an egg. The hand is placed on chest with side of thumb and index finger touching your chest. Then the hand is moved away from chest with fingers in more closed, the hand is rotated that your palm is facing inward toward your chest. Then last sign is all fingers touching each other at fingertips, with side of your pinkie finger touching the chest.

From “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler #skybrary #skybrarians #booksky

A screenshot of a poem. The poem reads:
Choose your leaders
with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief
is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant
is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
