The FBI spied on a Signal group chat of immigration activists, records reveal Exclusive: Agency accessed private conversations of New York β€˜courtwatch’ group that was observing public hearings

The FBI infiltrated an encrypted chat of immigration court watchers in New York. Then it issued intelligence calling them violent extremistsβ€”terrorists.

As I told @theguardian.com, this targeting of people who show up for immigrants is straight COINTELPRO:

In reversal, Coast Guard again classifies swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The new order came hours after The Post reported the service would instead classify such symbols as β€œpotentially divisive” under guidelines set for release next month.

Cheers to the person who leaked the initial changes www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

They’re prepping their base to tolerate violence toward their enemiesβ€”and they have identified lots of American enemies.

We can deny it. Doesn’t change the what is all but obvious now. 2/end

β€˜It Feels Like I’m in a Nightmare’: Inside the First Deportation Flight to Iran

They have zero respect for human life. None. So it starts with β€œeasy” cases: he’s brown, and he came here illegally. They send people to die. They send people to torture. They murder people on the high seas. They torture people in our own detention centers. 1/2

incredible that these guys have a massive hard on for a country that, if it were a state, would rank behind kansas in terms of wealth and which would be a total backwater if it weren’t economically integrated with more functional countries

Most cruel people are cowards. But what about the ones who inspire cruelty at scale?

🧡[CW Sexual violence] William Yoo's book on Presbyterian history doesn't beat around the bush, but explains that most white Presbyterians in 18th-19th cent were ghoulishly immoral and tried to turn the brutalizing and rape of enslaved humans into an issue of Biblical interpretation #AwesomeWork 1/10

Any Christian movement that recruits from the β€œtop” of society is likely toxic. Lots of campus ministries are that way, but it applies to churches too.

Resistance Is Cringe But it’s also effective.

Showing up matters. Has to be backed by determined action, but it absolutely matters.
* If it didn’t matter, they wouldn’t pass petty laws to make protest harder.
* If it didn’t matter, they wouldn’t whine about it all the time.
* β€œ, despots all over the world would just let it happen.
It matters.

Put two concepts together: no rules of engagement and US cities as war zones/training grounds.

Distraction from Epstein, economy, and shutdown? Sure. Just the fascy kind.
