Morale plummeting among ICE agents over long hours, quotas and public hatred: reports While immigration officers support the Trump administration’s goal of deporting undocumented migrants, many of them have grown β€˜disillusioned’ with leadership’s tactics, according to reports

I’m very disappointed to see this. I believe that even more public hatred is possible. Do better America!

It's like racists in America being dumbfounded by the attack on Pearl Harbor because they'd convinced themselves that members of an inferior race were biologically incapable of flying planes.

It doesn't matter what the Constitution says. If the government can execute you on the street or in your own home on a whim, you have no rights. None.

Johnson culled the Tory Party of all but its grimmest dregs & now the grimmest of the grimmest dregs are defecting to Reform. It would be funny if it didn't alllow them, along with Farage, to pretend that they're not responsible for the state of the nation.

"And because we had no assistance from the state of Minnesota, our semi-literate army of misfit goons is obviously now allowed to murder the citizens of that state at will."

Key detail: ICE shot Pretti in the back.

He was on the ground, on his knees, restrained.

An ICE officer stood directly over him.

And shot him in the back.

to the extent that there is a β€œcarrot” to trumpism it is the same carrot that slaveholders offered to lower class white men: β€œyou can be an overseer”

Publishing the names of protesters and contacting their employers to have them fired for exercising their rights is a tactic straight out of the White Citizens Councils.

Opinion: The Resistance libs were right For the last decade there’s been a debate, among people who don’t like Donald Trump, about whether he’s a fascist.

Only took them 10 years.

Turning Point USA was founded in 2012 by Charlie Kirk and Bill Montgomery

Two of their major policy pushes were a more prominent gun culture and zero COVID restrictions

Bill Montgomery died to the COVID virus

Charlie Kirk died to gun violence

. . . very cooperative, but the police at that point had to let [redacted] know that what she had done that she could be facing charges. 
Q And that was after they had told her earlier that she didn't need an attorney present, correct? 
A Exactly.
Q Okay. So this happens to her with the Palm Beach Police Department and did the Palm Beach Police actually present or propose charging [redacted]?
A They did get a probable cause affidavit against [redacted]. 
Q And is that why Ms. [redacted] and her attorney were concerned about her testimony here? 
A Yes. 
Q Now was a subpoena issued for Ms. [redacted] on behalf of this grand jury? 
A Yes, it was. 
Q And before Ms. [redacted] would comply with that, did she -- did her attorney request some sort of order? 
A Yes. 
Q And what did he ask for? 
A He asked for immunity for [redacted].

jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation

This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.

"Kavanaugh Stop" went from a skeet on here to Bluesky meme to crosspollinating over on X to Brett Kavanaugh's burner account seeing it there to a whiny defensive footnote about it in a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States.

They have spent over thirty years trying to smear this man. They trumped up everything they could find. If he was messing with kids, they would have blasted it all over the media and internet immediately. They have nothing. Lol.

Pope Leo: β€œCreation is crying.

President Barack Obama is the most consequential president of the 20th and 21st centuries. His presidency sparked racist outrage, whether overt or implied, among most of White America.

The rise of openly racist β€œMAGA” is a direct response to the first ever Black president. @BarackObama.bsky.social

it's not great that the President makes up so much random bullshit that he can publicly declare acts of war and everyone has to wait and see if they're real or not
