@CLTAirport I my flight changed from 2p to 11am. But I already purchased parking that started at 2 pm. Can I just show up 4 hrs early (with additional fees) or do I need to repurchase parking entirely?

[V. Tom Gardner @vtomgardner]

@CLTAirport On Monday I purchased parking for the week, starting at 2 pm. I now need to arrive 4 hrs earlier. Do I need to repurchase parking? Or will that just contribute to an overstay fee?

🚨 UNREAL: An American citizen was followed by an unmarked car, boxed in, dragged from her vehicle, injured, and left in a parking lot after agents found her passport.

She was on her way to pay rent and buy a birthday cake for her grandson.

Torn rotator cuff. Concussion. Bruised ribs. No help. No explanation.

This is happening to ordinary people.

This is not “enforcement.” This is lawless violence.

Hey Randy, is this you violating the law by casting votes on behalf of people who weren't you?

UPDATE—Father protests after ICE raid elementary bus stop.

"I've never protested before in my entire life," he says emotional.

"But then I watched 4th and 5th grade kids run away from their own government."

"I never want to see a child run away from our own government again."

I agree…..

Filming ICE in public is protected speech. If someone with a badge loses their temper, your constitutional rights don’t disappear. https://t.co/rYrBQqyuu1 explains:

When an agent gets inches from your face and screams “18 U.S.C. 111” while threatening cuffs just to make you stop recording — that’s not “law and order.” That’s First Amendment retaliation.

What to do:
✅ Preserve the evidence (full, unedited video + backup)
✅ Write the timeline (time, place, exact words, witnesses)
✅ File complaints:
• ICE OPR (misconduct)
• DHS OIG (independent IG)
• DHS CRCL (civil rights/retaliation)

Support PAXIS so people know their rights before, during, and after ICE encounters: https://t.co/hN8SiV9y02

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore millions of dollars in canceled grants to University of California researchers, calling the terminations flagrantly illegal and unconstitutional. https://t.co/cAt2DT0Kmk

God bless this woman. She’s a hero. Every damn word 🔥

The only thing I’d add: call the local police and report the group of men impersonating ICE and the attempted kidnapping, while they’re still lurking around.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

I can’t speak for every city, but I can speak to what’s happening here in LA.

ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members or dangerous criminals. They’re targeting the vulnerable, the easy pickings. Gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. People just trying to survive. Because it’s quick money and low risk.

Folks need to stop pretending ICE is cleaning up crime. That’s not what’s happening. You’ve seen the video of the man beaten by ICE. Now listen closely to the details.

@jacobsoboroff—thank you for speaking the truth.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

You just kidnapped this man off the street because you didn’t like his speech, threw him in a cell for 104 days, ignored court orders, & denied relief so he had to listen to his wife birth their child over a phone.

And now YOU want to call HIM the terrorist?

Look in the mirror.

What we are witnessing is not history rhyming, it’s plagiarism.

[Dripped Out Trade Unionists @UnionDrip]

Firefighters in Bell blocked ICE, made them reverse, and ran them out. Solidarity with fire unions that know who they serve and why nobody says fuck the firefighters.

A former Nev, state senator: “The one thing people are waiting to see is the money, right? They’re going to be so far into this where it’s like, all right, this is do-or-die time. Until it’s laid out in full, there will still be those questions. … it’s still a work in progress.”

A veto override of HB318 is on today's calendar in the House. HB318 would require sheriffs to call ICE before releasing people subject to a detainer.

⚡️Here's where we are right now:
A scattering of outages. But as the afternoon wears on, there will be more. @DukeEnergy asks that you wait until after 8 pm to do laundry or use other energy hungry appliances. And if you can, turn the thermostat up a degree.

[Devin Nunes' Cattle Dog 🇺🇦 🇪🇺🇺🇸🇨🇦 🇦🇺 @Kaos_Vs_Control]

ICE thugs don't like to be followed

I announce a toast, to you. Thank you for your thug prevention

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment.

Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off.

📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

Well, twitter friends, I've moved to https://t.co/G9BZbJbk6D Almost everyone that I care to know is there. And the Russian Bots are under control there, too.
