"I print whistles because reality still matters; whistles get neighbors to come running, make sure enough people are recording, so when the regime pretends there’s only one camera angle of Renee Good’s death, we know the truth." Read more from @seanhollister.bsky.social: buff.ly/mZoMDUH
A string of violent incidents involving U.S. immigration agents in Minneapolis has prompted Vermont officials & local organizers to prepare in case a similar enforcement surge is aimed at them. Vermont forbids police departments from collaborating with federal immigration authorities.

If only people had paid closer attention to those warning us that the means to challenging every election result they don't agree with has already been put into place in many states by the GOP.
Sadly not true. ICE holds ~500 people in the Plymouth County jail in MA, ~150 people in the Strafford County jail in NH, ~200 people in a federal prison in Berlin, NH, and a few dozen at four county jails through USMS contracts, in Maine (Portland & Wiscasset) and Vermont (Burlington & Swanton).
I have received numerous reports of a large delivery of unmarked vehicles to the ICE facility in Burlington. We need answers now.
This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

In a moment of candor, an ICE agent in Maine gave away the plot By labeling a legal observer a “domestic terrorist,” an ICE agent unwittingly revealed what the Trump administration is really up to. archive.ph/Nn18w#select...

This is the correct way to police ICE. And it drives the far right nuts. Good.
An uprising of children in a DHS concentration camp in Dilly, Texas! They focused on the mistreatment of Liam Conejo Ramos, a 5-year-old from Minnesota, abducted with his father by ICE last week Immigration attorney Eric Lee could hear shouting [and] believed “hundreds of children” took part.

The clock is ticking. The February 17th deadline is fast approaching to protect trans health care in this critical moment for Vermonters to stand up for bodily autonomy and the rights of trans youth. There is still time to raise your voice.

This is only about voter suppression. 1) state governments run their own elections 2) director of national intelligence with FBI on this raid 3) everything the administration has done this past year to show their real attack is against future voting www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

“For Our Freedom” getting big money out of politics: New Constitutional amendment in process. Ratification by 3/4 of the states (38 states) is needed. This has broad support across the political spectrum. TODAY: 23 states are ready to ratify. 15 to go. See alt (image) text for details.
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
“LET US OUT!” women & children scream for help inside a detention camp in TEXAS, where private prisons like core civic make billions of taxpayer dollars holding them while abusing, neglecting them, refusing them health care, feeding them dirty food & water, etc. In our name🇺🇸
Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.
If you live in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, or Vermont save these numbers for the various ICE watch hotlines
