Good news!
Despicible
An American citizen was brutally ripped out of her car, her window shattered and detained on her way to the doctor.
Thank you to Aliya for bravely sharing her story.
This kind of conduct by ICE is sickening. And it's exactly what I am fighting to put an end to.
I don't say this often but: I'm so proud to be a climate and environment reporter. We cover an issue that is vitally important to humanity and the natural world. 14 of my climate colleagues at the Post were laid off today and I'm devastated.

I am honored to have sponsored a motion that calls upon US Congress to implement significant guardrails around DHS and immigration enforcement agents. Thank you to my co-sponsors - CMs Lewis, Barón, Dembowski, and @kccclaudia.bsky.social - and all my fellow CMs for unanimously passing this motion.

ICE are untrained, undisciplined, incompetent, violent, and criminal thugs, being paid bonuses per person to shove bodies into for-profit prisons where they can be tortured, abused, raped, and exploited for private profit.
There is no tiny fraction of any of this that is legal, moral, or American.
Masked government agents are conducting “show me your papers” stops, detaining 5-year-olds to use them as bait, and brutally murdering U.S. citizens.
Call it what it is — fascism.
History will not look fondly on politicians and so-called "leaders" of this country who stood by and enabled this.
We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.
There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.
This is my favorite guide.
The 15 richest people in America saw their collective wealth jump nearly $1 trillion during Trump's year back in office.
Many of them were standing alongside Trump at his inauguration one year ago today.
How are you doing?

Long live the Somali aunties. Long live samosas. May they outlive ICE by thousands of years.

"Hernández boasted that he would 'stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses' while trafficking more than 500 tons of cocaine into the US.
"Trump freed him, saying, 'If somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail'..."
