This is Liam Conejo Ramos.
This is the 5 year old child ICE grabbed in Minnesota today.
They used him as bait to get his father.
They’ve sent this toddler to detention instead of letting him stay with family.
A masked man grabbed a toddler off the street in broad daylight.
It’s child trafficking.

The Guardian: ICE detains five-year-old Minnesota boy as he came home, say school officials
Superintendent says Liam Ramos and his father were taken into custody while in their driveway and sent to Texas
"...Marc Prokosch, an attorney representing the family, said the family has an active asylum case and shared paperwork showing the father and son had arrived to the US at a port of entry, meaning an official crossing point.
“The family did everything they were supposed to in accordance with how the rules have been set out,” he said. “They did not come here illegally. They are not criminals.” He said there was no order of deportation against them and he believes the father and son have remained together in detention...."

ICE is killing people in the streets, in the concentration camps and who knows where else in secret. They openly intend to stop providing medical care to the prisoners they take. They are an absolute evil.
Opposing them is the only moral position. There's no debate, nuance, or discussion necessary. Elected Democrats don't know this and it's simultaneously infuriating and terrifying. We're going to die because they can't call a spade a spade.

Here's the thing about the fash: They think collaboration is something you only (pretend to) do if you're not strong enough to dominate. They don't think they need anyone.
That's why they can't be trusted, ever - but it's also why, like in @pluralistic's "Masque of the Red Death", they eventually starve / shit themselves to death locked inside their sad little basement clutching a rifle, while everyone else work together to build better lives.

🤬🔥🤬 Oglala tribe in #Minnesota in #Minniapolis, searching for the four tribal members arrested by #ICE, and supporting the demonstrators there. They are steaming mad. And hugely articulate - Well worth the watch.
Pitting of religious, racial, and economic groups against one another in order to break down national unity is a device of the "divide and conquer" technique used by Hitler to gain power in Germany and in other countries. With slight variations, to suit local conditions, fascists everywhere have used this Hitler method.

"ICE Watch does not spur violence; it reduces it. It’s based on de-escalation tactics that have long historical roots in American antiviolence & civil rights movements.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Research on gender is particularly relevant for understanding ICE, which has an overwhelmingly male workforce" — Nicole Bedera

Renee Nicole Good was murdered in broad daylight.
She was shot three times, called a “f*cking b*tch” and denied aid.
Yet the ICE agent who shot her isn’t being investigated.
Who is? Governor Walz. Mayor Frey. Renee’s widow.
They’re going to do whatever they can to avoid responsibility and it’s our job not to let that happen.
We’ve all seen the video.
Demand justice and accountability.
Arrest Jonathan Ross.
I lost a friend over my article about the murder of Renee Nicole Good.
He was angry I called out the underlying misogyny.
He was mad I didn’t give ICE the benefit of the doubt.
He made it personal.
He told me my “stupid clown hair” is why people don’t take me seriously
Everything he said to me was dripping with disdain and misogyny.
There was no debate.
There was no respectful disagreement.
In under five minutes he had attacked my intelligence, my politics, my appearance and my writing.
This is not normal behaviour.
He literally proved my point.
Had I taken the bait I’m convinced that I would have been called a “f*cking b*tch” by the end of the conversation.
This is what MAGA is doing to men.
It’s emboldening them.
It’s validating their bigotry.

I assume this person was always hateful and misogynistic on some level … but now he no longer feels he has to hide it.
He literally said as much.
He said “I never told you in the past because I wasn’t allowed. Now I am.”
Why is he allowed to tell me now??
Why does he feel justified in lashing out with rage and insults over something that has nothing to do with him?
It’s because of what happened to Renee Nicole Good.
We all watched a woman get shot in broad daylight and there’s been zero consequences
We’ve watched rapists, pedophiles and abusers go free for years.
Every woman who’s ever experienced abuse knew exactly what Jonathan Ross meant when he said “f*cking b*tch”
He didn’t fear for his life.
He was enraged she didn’t fear for hers.
My friend was enraged I dare speak out for a “lesbian leftist”.
He was enraged I didn’t remain silent, complicit and demure.
He was apparently also enraged I didn’t realize he hated my hair and change it to please him.
Make no mistake, there is a war against women going on.
This regime wants to make us “less than”.
They want us afraid.
They want us in the home serving our husbands and having children.
They want us seen and not heard.
They don’t want us resisting.
Which is why we must keep speaking out.
We must refuse to go back.
My life is better off without this person in it, and thankfully I can walk away.
Not everyone can.
Speak up if you see someone being hurt.
Protect your friends and neighbours.
Challenge misogynistic talking points.
Demand justice for Renee Nicole Good.
Don’t cower. Don’t be afraid. Don’t give up.

Yes, masks off, pink on.
Tiberius Davis, representing the U.S. Department of Justice, argued at a hearing in Los Angeles that the first-of-its-kind ban on police face coverings could unleash chaos across the country, and potentially land many #ICE agents on the wrong side of the law if it were allowed to take effect. “Why couldn’t #California say every immigration officer needs to wear pink, so it's super obvious who they are?”
