Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

So this admin lets a private company, that the president owns stock in, use the White House and grounds for a pay-per-view spectacle using troops & staff, rents out ads everywhere, and has it streaming on the company whose monopolistic merger it just approved. Grift never ending

There are reports of ICE activity on the north side of Chicago happening now. Please share so people in the area can be aware and take precautions. If you’re in the area please come by our office at 7016 N Clark St for ICE whistles. We protect each other. Chinga la migra.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
WHEN INTERACTING WITH IMMIGRATION OFFICERS (ICE)
• If you believe you are witnessing ICE activity, please call ICIRR's 24-Hour Family Support Hotline at 1-855-HELP-MY-FAMILY (1-855-435-7693).
• If you find yourself interacting with an ICE officer in any location including your workplace, or out in the community, remember:
• You have the right to remain silent when questioned or arrested by immigration officers
• You should remain calm and keep your hands where the officer can see them.
• You can state that you wish to speak with an attorney.
• You are not required to
• Discuss your immigration or citizenship status with the police, immigration agents, or other officials
• Sign anything you do not understand.
• If an officer knocks on your door at home:
• You have the right to not open the door.
• ICE officers must have a warrant signed by a judge to enter your home. ICE
"warrants" are not signed by judges; they are ICE forms signed by ICE officers and they do not grant authority to enter your home without your consent
• If you are outdoors and think you see immigration officers nearby:
• You can move to a safe indoor space
• If you are a U.S. citizen and feel safe to do so, you can record the activity with your phone or write down any relevant information about what you witness— ALWAYS being careful to not interfere or otherwise obstruct the operation
• DO NOT:
• Post unverified information on social media
• Interfere with the investigation or otherwise put yourself in harm's way

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

I hold Donald J Trump accountable for the murder of a man in Minneapolis today. This deadly ICE operation is his responsibility. Sending violent, untrained agents to Minnesota by the thousands was his decision to abuse the leaders and people of Minnesota, not conduct lawful deportation operations.

I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.

ICE keeps saying the people protesting it are being paid without any evidence, but we have receipts showing that the people *defending* ICE are absolutely being paid. And yet we only hear lies about the former on cable news.

If you can make it to Rush Hospital in Aurora, IL, an ICE patroller got pulled out of her car, assaulted and pepper sprayed by agents. She's in the hospital and nobody except ICE is allowed to see her. There's a call to assemble and demand ICE leave the hospital, and let her husband in to see her.
FWD: 👁️‍🗨️🍂 Support Request from West Chicago Rapid Response group (WeGo Angels):

⚙️ Two patrollers we regularly work with were arrested, and one patroller, who had a baby in the backseat of her car, was pulled out of her car, assaulted, and pepper-sprayed in the face, for peacefully documenting ICE's actions from her car.

⚙️ She has been taken to Rush Hospital, where nobody EXCEPT ICE is being allowed to see her, including her husband. We are calling for back-up: we want as many people as possible to show up at Rush Hospital in Aurora, IL to PEACEFULLY demand ICE leave the hospital and demand her husband his legal right to see her.

Authoritarianism doesn't happen in a vacuum. It requires enablers. When a leader posts fantasies of monarchical rule, and his entire party looks the other way, they become complicit. The issue isn't just Trump's posts; it's the institutional decay of a party that refuses to be a check on his power.
