Don’t forget: billionaires are using their grip on social media and the news to convince us that peaceful protests don’t work, our vote doesn’t matter, and that both parties are the same. They’re spending billions on it.
If protesting didn't work, would those in power be doing everything they can right now to vilify protestors and crack down on free speech? Activist and author Annie Leonard offers an important history lesson on why protest is so important — and why it's needed now more than ever.

This has to be an 8th Amendment violation. Don't forget that everyone in the US, even visitors, are protected by the Constitution.
Recently unearthed records show that, in one set of trials carried out by the US Army, the electric shock gloves caused “overwhelmingly immediate” pain to soldiers in a mock forced cell extraction scenario, who then reported that “just seeing the glove” frightened them into obedience.

The rise of 287(g) programs has meant that ICE is increasingly using local police as a very significant force multiplier, with up to 1 in 8 arrests of noncitizens in the interior now being carried out by state and local police. This is going to have profound impacts on community relations.
But an increasing proportion of arrests have been made by local law enforcement in partnership with ICE, via 287(g) agreements. In many regions, it can be difficult to know when local officers are conducting routine policework or immigration enforcement. In many cases, they are doing both.

Tread on me, daddy.
The Trump White House official app is fraught with trackers. The White House app covertly collects excessive user data and shares it with third-party trackers while sidestepping federal security rules. For example, the app includes scripts to monitor a user's location several times per minute.

ICE cannot be reformed. It must be abolished.
Based on my on-the-ground experience during last years raids in Los Angeles, currently in Philly, I’d estimate at least 25% of ICE agents are open White Nationalists. Watch this one throw up a white power AND “heil Hitler” salute combo. This is normal for ICE. This is ICE culture, plain and simple.

This is why using questionable data to investigate voters should concern everyone. Bad data doesn’t just create a bad spreadsheet. It can put an American citizen into a federal law enforcement system.
