When and how will this all end?

I’m an old white guy and I feel more threatened by ICE now than I ever have been by any undocumented immigrants.

What happens when ICE can’t find any more people to harass and hurt?

This might be the worst ICE video yet, because it’s literally random dudes hanging around, and then a bunch of heavily armed thugs running them down completely out of nowhere, because they’re brown. It’s a nightmare that would have seemed excessive in Jim Crow. Everyone in America should see this.

The same thing happened with β€œNYPD Blue.” Some religious group denounced it in advance as immoral for all the alleged nudity and swearing. It ended up with some of the highest ratings of any premiere episode that season.

Trump Is Supporting Transnational Repression Instead of sheltering pro-democracy dissidents, America is now returning them for arrest.

2 killed, 12 injured, as gunfire erupts on the streets of Alabama's state capital At least 14 people were shot, two fatally, at an intersection near downtown Montgomery, Alabama, early Sunday, according to police.

When will the National Guard arrive to intervene in these war-like conditions?

What would you like to do to fight back?

The courts have been bought or stacked. Congress has been neutered. Troops are being sent to blue cities. The economy is stagnant; unemployment will get worse after Tuesday. Illegal tariffs are increasing. Generals will be forced to pledge loyalty to Trump.

The videos of ICE slamming women down or needing five ICE men to handcuff a middle aged gardener are so pathetic. The civilized world is done with the US.

As a US Atty, I prosecuted and oversaw police excessive force cases. We took them seriously because they were serious abuses of power. What we're seeing now is the outbreak of an epidemic & instead of being condemned by fed'l law enforcement leaders, it seems to be tolerated if not encouraged.

In 1945 the US Army said that a fascistic politician would also be an angry hyper-nationalist who tried to encourage his fellow Americans to reject ideas like "the brotherhood of man" and the importance of international cooperation as embodied in organizations like the UN. bsky.app/profile/seth...

At least 2 American citizens in Florida were put in ICE detention simply for having brown skin. Their IDs were dismissed as being fake and they were told by ICE, in one case on video, that they had no rights.

Happy to be interviewed this week on how the US TikTok takeover reveals a concerning pattern Trump building a monopoly of supportive media, one captured media organisation at a time, to keep power and manage public criticism. Read more in the @washingtonpost.com with @drewharwell.com below πŸ‘‡

1 week after deadly shooting at CDC, some employees feel Trump and RFK Jr. have moved on In the days after a deadly shooting, CDC employees said they feel frustrated with federal leaders due to a lack of statements and for the peddling of vaccine skepticism.

A police officer was killed in the attack on the CDC by an antivaxxer. Trump did not mention it. Use this as a benchmark to compare how the Trump administration responds to an attack on an ICE facility to judge which federal employees are deemed worth protecting.
