Seeing a lot of “how to prepare” type posts for ICE at airports, which is great… but almost every post I’m seeing has said to turn off biometrics (great) and turn your phone off completely while going through security.

As someone who has been given an insanely difficult time at airports the past 3 years, please don’t rely on turning your phone off alone. It might work for some people, but I’m not allowed past security without showing all of my electronics turn on, and they have to remain on until I get through.

I have quite a few posts detailing my experiences. If it’s helpful I can try to dig them up and reshare. I know it won’t be the same for everyone, but what I go through is pretty intense and maybe getting an idea of some of the things they do will help.

Far right agitator Shane Carroll, who is extremely unstable and easily triggered, once again brandished his gun outside the ICE facility in Portland, OR last night. This time he was pointing his gun at street medics and de-escalators. This is at least the 4th time he has done this that I’m aware of. #pdx #portland

New- Nine people are facing decades in prison after a July 4 protest outside Prairieland Detention Center was prosecuted as “terrorism” in federal court.

The evidence didn’t hold, but the narrative did as prosecutors criminalized ideology. This case sets a precedent everyone should be paying attention to.
