Following ICE agents in your car is not illegal... just because ICE says it is. Interfering with or obstructing law enforcement can be a crime. But lawful observation, filming from a public place, and following at a safe distance are not obstruction. They are protected activity. When ICE agents lie about the law to stop people filming them, they are not “keeping people safe.” They are abusing power, violating constitutional rights, and trying to hide what they are doing. This is why you film everything. ICE lies. ICE makes false accusations. ICE breaks the law and then writes the report like they were the victim. helps immigrants and allies prepare for ICE encounters, know their rights, record safely, preserve evidence, and push back when agents turn abuse into paperwork.

To all those who are bone tired, struggling, or... quietly wondering if you are enough: You are probably giving yourself far less credit than you deserve. You may not see it, but your presence matters. Your efforts matter. The kindness you show, the burdens you carry, the way you keep showing up and doing your best each day has an impact on more people than you know. And to everyone else, never underestimate the power of reminding someone that they are seen, appreciated, and loved. A few sincere words can lighten a burden, restore hope, and change the course of a day. We all need that reminder sometimes. op: Ringshow more

ICE MACED A 72-YEAR-OLD CITIZEN. THEN THREATENED TO DO... IT AGAIN. After Linda Wolff said, “You just Maced me,” the masked ICE agent replied: “I’m gonna do it again.” Those six words are evidence—not of measured law enforcement, but of intimidation, retaliation and a willingness to inflict more pain. If he threatened her because she continued recording and criticizing ICE, it raises a serious First Amendment retaliation issue. helps people recognize constitutional violations, preserve evidence and record the exact words agents use—because sometimes an officer documents his own abuse of power.

🚨ICE was just across the street from my house... directly in front of a school that had children outside playing on the playground!!!Thanks to my neighbors who quickly took action and called me to alert me. Absolutely outrageous. For those of you who keep saying that this isn’t happening, shame on you. Our communities continue to get terrorized by ICE and we have innocent people who are being picked off our streets. I hope their kids were not across the street at the school watching this. It makes my blood boil when I see Latino men doing this “job” who are we as a society and how did we get here. ICE is not welcomed in my neighborhood or in Tucson! Know your rights, my friends. If you are a bystander ICE has NO authority over U.S citizens, you are filming them even if they tell you that it is your constitutional right. ICE is NOT a police force it is an immigration agency 🚫: stop vehicles unless they have reasonable suspicion of an immigration violation OR an official warrant CAN detain if reasonable suspicion of being undocumented OR valid immigration warrant 🚫: Detain U.S Citizens and use guns to intimidate youshow more

This guy is a “God’s” Christian American. ✝️🇺🇸 A... person was just shot and killed by ICE agents. At this point, I don’t know whether the shooting itself was legally justified or not. Some reports say the person tried to run over an ICE agent. If that’s true, then the use of deadly force may have been justified in that moment. But that’s not even my point. My point is that ICE’s aggressive enforcement tactics are creating more and more confrontations like this. The more often heavily armed agents confront people in chaotic situations, the greater the risk that someone, whether an officer or a civilian ends up dead. What I genuinely don’t understand is how someone can look at a human being’s death and say this is “God’s work.” Whatever your politics are, I don’t remember Jesus teaching people to kill and then celebrate death.show more

🚨BREAKING: In New York, an ICE agent was caught... on video walking across the street and pepper spraying a woman directly in the face… for film them. In the video, a woman is standing, with several other civilians, on the opposite side of the street. They aren’t blocking traffic, or interfering with an arrest. In fact, you can’t even see an arrest taking place. They’re simply standing there, filming ICE agents from a public place. Then, the ICE agent deliberately walks across the street, approaches the woman, raises his pepper spray canister just inches from her face, and sprays her directly in the eyes. People standing around her are seen running away to avoid getting sprayed, too Only AFTER spraying her do you hear the agent say, “Back up.” And then they turn around, like they didn’t just assault U.S. citizens with a chemical weapon, and walk away. This should piss off every American. The First Amendment protects your right to record law enforcement in public. Pepper spraying someone for peacefully recording… is retaliation. The Fourth Amendment also protects people from excessive force. Under the Constitution, officers can’t use force that isn’t objectively reasonable under the circumstances. If someone is standing on the other side of the street, posing no immediate threat, not resisting, and not interfering… it’s difficult to justify blasting them in the face with a chemical weapon. And even ICE’s own use-of-force standards require force to be reasonable, necessary, and proportional to the threat presented. Nothing in this video suggests that standard was met. This is exactly why people should be concerned about masked federal agents operating with little transparency, or accountability… If agents can walk up to U.S. citizens and assault them with a chemical weapon for recording… that means your constitutional rights exist at the discretion of whoever is holding the pepper spray. And that’s not how a constitutional republic is supposed to work.show more

FIVE FEDERAL AGENTS PIN A US CITIZEN TO THE... GROUND WHILE HE BEGS THEM TO CHECK HIS ID. He repeatedly screams for his coworker to bring his identification. The agents ignore him.

Want to give your child a leg up in... kindergarten (and life)? Expose them to a million extra words. It’s easier than it sounds. I wrote recently about the vocabulary building power of reading aloud to your child. Books expose children to new worlds through their storytelling - and with those new worlds come new WORDS. Words that you may not have had occasion to use otherwise. Reading develops this vocabulary quality in part through vocabulary quantity. A recent study from Ohio State University suggests that children who are read five books a day from infancy will be exposed to 1.4 million more words by kindergarten than those who lack this advantage. If five books seems like a lot, rest assured that there’s advantage to any reading at all. Children read a single book a day will benefit to the tune of 290,000 more words. A rich vocabulary lends itself to explosive reading growth when the time comes. That’s because you can’t truly decode words you don’t know. So read, read, read with your little one. You’ll be amazed by the return on investment. This adorable little book worm was shared to IG by pitterpatterpals_.show more

🚨BREAKING: Another video out of Houston, Texas shows ICE... agents illegally boxing in a car on a public street… targeting U.S. citizens. Let’s be very clear about what ICE agents are doing… This is racial profiling. Reports out of Houston have already documented ICE agents surrounding vehicles, questioning U.S. citizens, and only backing off once they realize they are U.S. citizens. And in this video, you can literally watch the moment it falls apart… They walk away. They leave. They couldn’t take anyone because there was no crime. Because the only “reason” for the stop… was how those people looked. That’s illegal. The Constitution does not allow federal agents to box in your car, detain you, and demand proof of citizenship based on race, language, or appearance. That’s a violation of the Fourth Amendment. No warrant… no probable cause… no justification. Just racial profiling. This is exactly how constitutional rights get erased… not all at once, but in moments like this… where abuse happens, gets exposed, and no one is held accountable. And if they can do this to them… They can do this to anyone.show more

I admitted your allowances haven’t been paid. That is... the manner in which you have addressed your locked up funds even in your press conference. I asked you if you watched the GHOne interview yourself and you said no. So what are you basing your argument on. I called offered to help and asked who at the Health ministry or Finance you had spoken to for assistance you could not provide any names. It’s obvious you’re more interested in social media clouts than actually helping your people retrieve their locked up funds. I will take it upon myself to help them because no one should work without pay. That is not the Ghana we are building. But to twist my words and call me names is unacceptable.show more

Want to prepare your baby for a lifetime of... success? Make literacy joyful from the start. Surround your child with spoken and written language. Speak, read, sing. And model reading as a skill - and interest - of your own. (Remember there’s nobody your child wants to emulate more than you.) I love what this family has created, adding a little literacy to their daily mealtime routines. After each meal, the children hear books read aloud - which is followed by a short period of independent exploration with books. Look at how attentive these little guys are. At this age, you can start really small… even a minute or two at a time can help start a lifetime habit. Does/did your baby have favorite board books? I’d love to add them to my list.
