There will never be consequences for these acts for military personnel. They will simply and perhaps with some truth, say they were told such "was a threat" and ordered to perform by command. Sad but true, most military follow orders whatever they are. Those without loyalty have been culled.

Actually, since they have video of the event I think she might be in trouble; the allegations are more than slowing down the vehicle. I think this sort of obstructive protest accomplishes very little, and as such gives FUEL to the other side, to have pics of protestors obstructing officers.

Very untrue. The NYT warned decisively against Trump. In their endorsement of Harris, their op ed said Trump "is dangerous; in word, deed and action ; He puts self over country; He loathes the laws we live by". You would not know this however as I suspect you do not even read the NYT.

We know... we know.... its just that no one seems to have a good idea about what to do to stop this nightmare.

They do not need a justification, they have the Supreme Court at their backs.

In the big picture it does not matter if Trump disintegrates on screen, we will then have JD Vance; just as evil but more competent. I think it is more efficient to focus on the authoritarian build up, as that is the MACHINERY behind him. Do not focus on the clown, he is there to distract you.

Make no mistake, this administration is not composed of idiots; is it a well oiled machine years in the making. Trump is just the front line puppet to keep us occupied with his clown show. Do not watch the clown show; focus on how we dig out of this. Candidates like Mamdani are an example.

Is "beefy" still ok given the new Hegseth grooming standards?

Dems have no say in who is deemed "essential".

We are so fucked.

Interfering with a federal officer is a crime for which you can be arrested, police or not. No one knows what to do. The police did not cause this, MAGA voters did.

Yes it is horrible, the helicopter raid was over the top. WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO ?

Its a war on libs; "Merica" will be fine.

I agree it would be performative, no way impeachment can be accomplished. But I think at least it would be a fighting statement. What are we, as well as Dem leaders, supposed to do ?

Except most of the good guys have been culled out; only drones are left.

And they did not find out who they really were ; "the wife of one of the dead men ", is hardly an identification .

I can't see if they were armed, but they did have a taser, so that might be the outcome for you. So hard to know what to do when people see this or what would have happened if bystanders intervened instead of filmed. Most ICE are armed.

As city or municipal police, there is not much they can do; if they interfere with federal ICE agents they can be arrested. They are no more culpable than everyone else taking video.

Not sure what you mean by "media" but here we are; criticizing our leader on line. Also, Politico, Guardian, NYT, run articles critical of "our leader" all the time. Remember where your open windows are.

More young men defected to Trump in 2024. 48% of persons 30 to 49 voted for Trump. Maybe young men are the problem. I don't have to worry about you though if you are young, as youth rarely vote. Every "ism" is toxic, agism is toxic.

So what do you say to CA , they can't bring a knife to a knife fight ? Repubs are not going to stop redistricting because you say so.

Please be specific, what should we do. I have cancelled my Disney+ subscriptions ; what else ?

We need a PLAN , don't just mouth off, give us a direction. Boycott of Disney and affiliates would be a start.

This guy knew wearing this shirt would get him a pass, and he knew how to use a sophisticated weapon. I suspect the young man will fit the usual profile of a mentally ill, disconnected, lost soul who did not fear death. While he has done an admirable job of escape, he knows he will be caught.

Do we know who did this drawing ?

At a two-day hiring fair for ICE outside Dallas, Texas. “applicants who showed up included a large number of working-class African American and Hispanic men ”; Source: NYT. I wonder what it will be like when an off duty Hispanic ICE worker gets accidently rounded up by his own coworkers.

Its nice to know they have some fight in them, but this is purely performative. Missouri is a GOP-controlled state legislature, they will vote for the gerrymander. A focus on presenting compelling blue candidates so the vote swings left despite gerrymandering, would accomplish more..

Well obviously Trans basketball players.

But of course; how does anyone think there is a ghost of a chance this administration would release anything about Trump in the "files" . Its a pipe dream, a rabbit hole, and we should move on. There is no much other work to be done to stop the Kingdom of Gold.

The thrust of misinformation comes from Fox News and spreads outwards. It has nothing to do with the internet. Its has to do with the last gasp of the religious right's resistance to to a world based on reason, instead of faith. It's a culture war , not a techno war.
