Obviously not the main point here, but it's interesting how this is framed as content rather than policy.

"BREAKING" is typically what journalists or influencers say when they have a big story -- not what government officials say when they launch "undercover" operations

THIS is the energy we’ve been waiting for. Credit where credit is due.

ICE will reportedly hire contractors to surveil social media platforms 24/7 to target people for deportations.

The information would then be funneled into an existing ICE database built by Palantir (founded by Trump ally Peter Thiel).

"The party of small government,” folks.

“I’m just trying to find any clues, ideas, see where they took him, why they took him. And what’s the whole purpose for this?”

Read this graf pls

This shows a lot (hundreds) of companies with ICE contracts.

As far as what kinds of weapons, etc. they're buying, @boycottcitizens.bsky.social might have that

ICE arresting nannies while they’re caring for kids in Chicagoland parks is quite a scene. Once again, fuck ICE.

When the media repeats the phrase "Trump enemies," they do Trump a favor. They're not his "enemies," they're his critics exercising their fundamental right to criticize the president.

ICE and CBP Spending on Weapons and Ammunition     | Created with Datawrapper (FY16-FY25)

Last month, both ICE and CBP bought weapons and ammunition at an unprecedented rate.

Dig into the data with the linked interactive chart.

The Speaker of the House is refusing to swear in an elected official, leaving an entire district without representation, just to block a vote that would release files on the world’s most notorious pedophile, whom the President once called his best friend. Why isn’t this on every front page?!

Bread is a key ingredient in sandwiches.
And sandwiches are their kryptonite.

This is a soulless attack on ourselves. Every one of his customers is a victim. Every person who worked for him. Not to mention his family and friends. Mass deportation isn’t us versus them. It’s us versus us.

Donald Trump: “We’re going after the worst of the worst.”

ICE arrests two men at a Chicago area bakery. Workers, not criminals. And this is why they need the National Guard?

This account tracks ICE procurement activity. They've recently started spending a fortune on weapons👇

I've been seeing more hate messages shared on here in the last week or so, and it has me wondering about best practices for dealing with this stuff.

Having only received a couple ever, on another platform, my instinct was to simply not give them any attention at all. Instant block.

Between Sep. 22 — when Trump issued an EO claiming to designate antifa a "domestic terrorist organization" — and Sep. 30, ICE spent $29.4M on weapons & ammunition.

ICE spent more on weapons & ammunition in the last nine days of September than in any entire fiscal year, going back at least 17 years.

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

Last week, rogue ICE agents attacked an apartment complex in South Shore, Chicago—unlawfully terrorizing families in their own homes.

Young children zip were tied. Homes were ransacked. Entire families—including U.S. citizens—were forced into vans like cattle. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Unfortunately, only one original member of the Village People is still alive.

Your Prime Day reminder that Amazon...

-Provides cloud services that help fuel ICE's deportation machine
-Donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund
-Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump
-Shelled out $40M for a documentary about Melania Trump

Don’t believe Trump’s lies about undocumented immigrants.

Hegseth: "You kill people and break things for a living."

Christopher Caldwell: "Despite a raw vocabulary and some rude provocations, he outlined a nuanced vision of the military’s purpose and its relationship to civilian society."

ICED out of America For over four months, journalists have been bearing witness to America’s cruel and unusual treatment of immigrants and Trump’s militarized war against them. There seems to be no end in sight.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

Bar chart titled “U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Spending on Weapons and Ammunition.” The x-axis shows years from 2016 to 2025, and the y-axis shows total spending in U.S. dollars, ranging from 0 to 30 million. The chart displays frequent smaller spikes throughout the decade, typically under $10 million, with occasional peaks around 2017, 2020, and 2022. In 2025, spending rises dramatically to over $30 million—the highest level in the period shown. A note below explains that totals are based on Product or Service Codes for weapons, ammunition, explosives, and weapon system hardware, excluding spending on armor, tactical kits, or training aids.

He's not wrong.

Sure seems like they're planning to bust down a LOT of doors.

Trump Is Releasing the Full Force of Federal Police on Chicago Trump is normalizing attacks on blue cities because he intends to overpower hubs of democratic resistance.

This morning, a friend who had been traveling and was out of the loop asked me for resources to catch up on what has been happening in Chicago. If you are in a similar situation and need to catch up on the details, this piece outlines the events of the past week or so.

And behind the scenes, ICE has gone on a huge spending spree on weapons & ammunitions in the last month. All of this together paints a dire picture.

🚨 IMPORTANT:

Last month, ICE spent more than $37 million on weapons and ammunition.

Looking at the last 10 years, that's more than three times the previous monthly high — and more than 26 times the average.
