An outrageous story on its own. Even more outrageous when you find out the same county has charged three children with falsely reporting sexual abuse since her case. www.motherjones.com/criminal-jus...

Police didn’t believe a 12-year-old who said she'd been raped. Then she hit record.

“If I didn’t find the evidence for them, I wasn’t too sure they would find it.”

This is awful. Put in a full-body straitjacket and then pulled up the air stairs by his wrists and ankles. The WRAP is regularly used on ICE flights to Africa.

Once again: The ICE Air Operations Handbook allows children as young as 13 to be shackled on ICE flights. All adults are shackled except pregnant and postpartum women (up to two weeks) and, on removal flights only, single parents with young children. That’s according to their own policy.

I am sorry but let's Make Takes Great Again ---this pales in comparison to the eminent Orientalist Bernard Lewis on Aug 08, 2008, telling us that Ahmedinejad will end the world on Aug 22, 2008 because "Apocalyptic WorldView of Iran's Rulers" www.wsj.com/articles/SB1...

In Islam, as in Judaism and Christianity, there are certain beliefs concerning the cosmic struggle at the end of time -- Gog and Magog, anti-Christ, Armageddon, and for Shiite Muslims, the long awaited return of the Hidden Imam, ending in the final victory of the forces of good over evil, however these may be defined. Mr. Ahmadinejad and his followers clearly believe that this time is now, and that the terminal struggle has already begun and is indeed well advanced. It may even have a date, indicated by several references by the Iranian president to giving his final answer to the U.S. about nuclear development by Aug. 22. This was at first reported as "by the end of August," but Mr. Ahmadinejad's statement was more precise.

Salah, who is being targeted for speech on Palestine, has a green card and has lived in the U.S. for 30 years. Deporting him to the West Bank “means the end of my life.” If deported, he will likely be targeted by one of those fanatical West Bank settler killers.

This is very powerful. But I want to note that I'm flummoxed by Americans reaching to Germany 80 years ago. I mean *GITMO is still open.* And ICE has a large number of returning US soldiers from that war. It strikes me as an insistent refusal to face US militarism.

Following up our coverage of current anti-ICE flashpoints around the country, we recommend this online public meeting featuring organizers from anti-ICE and anti-border fights that are underway in Arizona, Minnesota, Vermont, and Austin, Texas. Full information about the event is in the alt text.

⁨📷⁩ ⁨PLEASE SHARE PUBLICLY: On Tuesday, September 29th at 5:00pm PT and Arizona/6:00pm MT/7:00pm CT/8:00pm ET, Let's Go! will be hosting an Emergency Call on Anti-ICE flashpoints that are happening right NOW. Joining us will be those on the ground from four current struggles that have open calls for action:

-The Minnesota 15 Anti-Repression Committee, who are calling for an international day of solidarity actions on Saturday, October 3, to express support for the fifteen defendants who have been federally charged for allegedly conspiring to resist the violence of ICE;

-The National Week of Action to SHUT DOWN ICE VT from October 4-9 in Chittenden County, Vermont - ICE operations across the nation are dependent on the surveillance infrastructure in Vermont - this week of mass action aims to SHUT this nerve center DOWN;

-Activists who have been on the ground in Lochiel, Arizona where a treesit and anti-border camp have been blocking the construction of the border wall for over two months. Lochiel is one site of struggle along a 2000-mile contested border and our neighbors there are calling everyone to join them in the struggle of direct action and land defense;

-Activists from Dare to Struggle in Austin, Texas, resisting and responding to the shooting of Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez by an ICE agent on Sunday, September 20th.

It is critical we connect and network our local struggles throughout the country to apply heat on ICE this October. Let's Go! is an organizing network that offers strategy, training and community. We move fast, share tools and trainings, and help local struggles take on national significance (https://letsgonetwork.org/).
