"On 26 July, the day before #TPS holders lost their work permits, CBS News reported that #ICE was targeting Springfield for a ‘potential arrest and #deportation blitz’.

"Now the blitz has arrived – by post. Over the past two weeks, scores of #HaitianImmigrants have received ‘call-in’ letters summoning them to ICE offices near Cincinnati, more than an hour’s drive away."

#Protesters honor #veterans, rally for #ImmigrantRights on #MemorialDay in downtown #Boston

The “#RallyForADream” called state and local legislators to action in the fight for statewide immigrant protections.

By Darin Zullo, May 26, 2025

"Hundreds of protesters gathered on the Boston Common Monday to honor veterans and rally for statewide protections for immigrants.

"The Memorial Day Rally for a Dream, organized by #Mass50501, was held on Memorial Day to honor fallen military personnel while supporting the ideals that they died for, organizers said. The group has hosted numerous protests since President Donald Trump’s second term in office began, including the nationwide '#HandsOff!' protest that saw tens of thousands of protesters in Boston alone.

" 'We felt it was really important to do this today,' Rebecca Winter, a spokesperson for Mass 50501, told Boston.com. 'We’re calling this march the Rally for a Dream because we see that the American dream is being desecrated right now with all of the harm being done to immigrants in our state.'

"The rally began at City Hall Plaza, where Kylie Bemis, a Mass #50501Movement member and assistant teaching professor of computer science at Northeastern University, kicked it off with chants like 'show me what democracy looks like' and 'no hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here.' Bemis has been outspoken about the #Trump administration and previously called on Northeastern administrators to do the same.

" 'I’m #NativeAmerican from #ZuniPueblo, and I’m a #transgender woman, so I feel like I was born into this kind of #resistance,' Bemis told Boston.com. 'When I saw that things were swiftly moving towards #authoritarianism, I felt an obligation to do my part, to resist, to speak up, to point out the injustices that other people seemed to be missing.' "

Soviet leaders also bragged incessantly about how awesome their system was and how wonderful the lives of the people thanks to their wise policies, as nothing worked and everything got worse and worse month after month for decades.

Our tax dollars pay to fly innocent people to a brutal prison in a 3rd world country, then we pay more to have them kept there, then we pay even more to have lawyers argue in court that imprisoning innocent randos with no trial is ok.

These freaks live in a world where clearly seeing what is happening and what powerful people are openly planning to do is "an extreme case of derangement"

There are no words for how fucked up that thinking is.
