And as LGS and biplane noted WA's Department of Licensing has been recently caught actively sharing data with ICE.

Scientists Find Most Cats Sleep on Their Left Side – This Could Be Why

Cats sleep between 12 and 16 hours a day, and a new study suggests that most of them prefer to catch these Z's while lying on their left side.

I can't fix what the federal government is doing

my efforts to stop them have largely failed, and may continue to fail

what I can do, since my own taxes are going to be reduced by this bill, is put the difference towards a local food pantry

people are hungry now and they're not going to be less hungry after all this

Alabama will be the site of a new training camp for the next generation of female astronauts—funded and named in honor of one of the profession’s great pioneers. Okay, maybe next exactly, because the Nichelle Nichols Space Camp honors someone who pioneered an idea rather than a profession—an idea that color barriers didn’t exist in […]

New Astronaut Camp for Girls Named After Star Trek Actress Nichelle Nichols, Honored as Role Model

The camp is a fitting legacy for the recently-deceased actress, who was an inspiration to Sally Ride, the first female American astronaut.

We need our own community based de-arresting squads by training as many people as we can. Expecting the state to stop the state doesn't work. We have to save ourselves.

El Duvelle Jun 24

@alfiekohn if you think that someone is being kidnapped shouldn't you try to prevent the kidnapping in the first place?
If enough people resist, they can't arrest everyone..

@alfiekohn
Get the detainee's name, birth date, and country of origin, record as many details as possible (license plates, location, time, number of "ICE agents" & any identifying info...). Call an immigration defense hotline ASAP and tell them everything. Exchange contact info with any other witnesses.

Assume the police will not help and/or ICE will be gone by the time they arrive and/or they will show up and essentially run security for the raid. So far there are literally no instances of police intervening to stop an "ICE" abduction that I'm aware of (please correct me if wrong).

In Los Angeles:
Union del Barrio Rapid Response:
213-444-6562
ImmDef Immigrant Defenders Law Center :
213-833-8283
CHIRLA:
888-624-4752

[Edit: Just added UdB hotline because this keeps getting boosted and I neglected to include it before].

I support recording it, and getting identifying information (license plate, number of people, descriptions). But I don't think I'd call 911.

In Oregon you can contact one of these groups:

1) OR DOJ, Sanctuary Promise Violations Hotline. Details:

https://www.doj.state.or.us/oregon-department-of-justice/civil-rights/sanctuary-promise/reporting-sanctuary-promise-violations-to-the-hotline/

2) Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition (PIRC) at 1-888-622-1510

3) United We Dream, 1-844-363-1423, or text 877877

Community toolkit:

@alfiekohn
"it may not stop the detention"

So then pls don't spread this as a general advice. It may be useful in some situation, it may be harmful in another.

If a kidnapping is witnessed, I believe it's the duty to act against it based on the abilities each has. And an advice of what to do in such case needs to take this into consideration.

There are so many more possibilities that can be taken, and there are also simply many situations calling the police is just harmful.

You can reach the door of a car with a detained person? Go there an open it if you can.

You see kidnappers approaching a person, and you happen to drive by with a car? Use your vehicle to disrupt the situation, by force if necessary.

You see a kidnapping and others witnesses are around? Get them engaged and approach the kidnappers if possible. Try to figure out if the detained wish's to escape. If so help them do it. Be creative.

This looks like the same style as that one that was going around promoting a "No Kings 2.0" protest which no group was actually organizing. It was also unattributed, like this one. Someone is out there making intentionally daft political memes, I think. I'm not going to assume benign intent.

@MegaMichelle @alfiekohn
It's very truthiness

@alfiekohn I wonder if it would apply in france where we get policers to charge/hit people without their identifier (RIO). "There are people dressed as policeman hitting people, I have no way to know, help"

@alfiekohn it's not enough to #FilmCops, but #LivestreamCops so when they assault the people filming or try to steal their equipment it's not gonna be lost!

ask @dw_innovation / #DWnews about that...

Here's a badge you can carry when monitoring illegal activities being performed by pun identified people claiming to be Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
It identifies you as a supervisor for Citizens Defense of the People (CDotP).
