USians as a culture are inherently racist (sorry if you aren’t but that’s how it’s viewed), especially to allies like Mexico. Traditionally Mexican social media keeps to itself in Spanish so it doesn’t even have an opportunity to correct US lies or disinformation. Yesterday’s operation changed that.

It is difficult, as a Jew whose family was massacred in the Holocaust, to watch people come to this realization. Millions of us died because of people like this. The Holocaust was not that long ago! People have not evolved out of racism and bigotry. Folks like this will always live among us.

Fascists Have Guns Sticker - 5 Pack | A Better Way 2A Five stickers to help you remind folks that the worst people aren't going to get rid of their guns just because they choose not to participate.Product specifications:- 5 Pack- 3"x3"

Anyway, I'm a huge fan of @abetterway2a.bsky.social and they've got these great stickers right now. Completely apropos of nothing. www.abetterway2a.com/product-page...

Full names, IDs, and literal pornography don’t get censored but the names of the Trump allied that were involved in abusing children on Epstein’s Island were thoroughly protected.

Because those are the only people this government is supposed to protect.

You do not hate the modern Gestapo enough.

I witnessed ICE using tear gas on children.

They shattered a window of low-income housing where a disabled vet lives. He got gassed in his own home.

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.

They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

'Reminds me of Anne Frank': Jewish seniors are offering to hide their Haitian caregivers as Trump's TPS end looms - Jewish Telegraphic Agency The end of Temporary Protected Status has Holocaust survivors offering to hide Haitian staffers, according to the CEO of a senior-living center in Florida.

“Every worker soon to lose their status is receiving “$2,000 and a hug” from the center; many residents are contributing more out of their own pockets.” 😢

There are middle aged men who remember having chicken pox, and say that was measles.

Imagine being a kid, making this, going with your parents to a family event, and then getting fucking tear gassed for it.

You do not hate the modern Gestapo enough because they sure as fuck hate every decent person in this country.

It rules how every other government worker is subject to incredible scrutiny for like everything but if you're a cop you can just do blatant fraud and everyone kinda just shrugs at it

This just added itself to my pantheon of political beliefs.

BREAKING🚨
This 16-year-old boy was beaten bloody & given a serious head injury by ICE for merely video taping!

I'm sure just like in the story below about Alberto Mondragon who's skull they fractured in 8 places & Alex Pretti who they shot in cold blood, they will lie about this, too!

ABOLISH ICE!

Speculation that the FBI special agent in charge in Atlanta was fired when he raised questions about the planned raid on the Fulton County elections center are confirmed.

ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US Plans for such centers and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.

This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

I wrote about this a while ago. Not only are ICE and CBP growing, they are sucking up other federal law enforcement. And employees of those agencies, in turn, will adopt the norms and practices of immigration enforcement, such as wearing masks.

As a trailing edge Boomer, that hit me at BNCOC. I watched a formation march past, wondered when they started letting junior high kids enlist, then realized that was an AIT class.

Less than 1% of complaints against soldiers in West Bank lead to charges, data shows Few investigations opened, and decisions on whether to probe allegations are often long delayed even in cases of deadly shootings, research by Yesh Din organization finds

From 2016 to 2024, the IDF received formal complaints alleging the killing of 696 West Bank civilians.

It opened investigations into 195 of the cases.

Just 2 soldiers were ever indicted in the cases.

The Legislation Upon winning a general election, a Reform government under Prime Minister Nigel Farage will: 1) Leave the ECHR 2.) Repeal the Human Rights Act and replace it with a British Bill of Rights. 3.) Pass The Illegal Migration (Mass Deportation) Bill: This Bill will: Create a legal duty to remove illegal migrants for the Home Secretary The Bill opens with a blunt obligation for the Home Secretary: "The Secretary of State shall ensure the removal from the United Kingdom of each person who does not have extant leave to remain and is not an Irish citizen or otherwise protected by regulations made under this Act." The following parts of the legislation are introduced on an emergency basis, with an in-built sunset clause after 5 years: Disapply the 1951 Refugee Convention, the UN Convention Against Torture, the Council of Europe Anti-Trafficking Convention (ECAT) Derogation is justified under the Vienna Convention doctrine of state of necessity: Britain faces a national emergency in which uncontrolled illegal migration undermines public order. These treaties will otherwise be used by activist judges to frustrate deportations, even after the repeals of the HRA and ECHR. Create Detention Power Without Hardial Singh Constraints This means illegal migrants can be detained until they are deported. Activist lawyers routinely use Hardial Singh to secure their client's bail, after which the client absconds. If you came to the UK illegally, you are ineligible for asylum. End of story All asylum claims will become inadmissible if made by a person within the Act's scope. If you came to the country illegally, you are ineligible for asylum in the UK. This strips the Home Office, the immigration tribunals and the higher courts of jurisdiction to even consider claims. A claim that cannot be considered cannot suspend removal and therefore, cannot delay a flight. Re-entering after deportation and destroying ID becomes a serious criminal offence Re-entry after deportation will be…

The Operational Plan We will create an enforcement unit called UK Deportation Command, including an Illegal Migrant Identification Centre - harnessing cutting edge data fusion A Reform government will create a cutting edge enforcement data centre to relentlessly identify and detain all illegal migrants in the UK. Using powers granted by the new legislation, it will automatically share data between the Home Office, NHS, HMRC, DVLA, banks and the police. It will power bulk warrants, including mandatory biometric capture during any police encounter. Each power addresses a failure mode observed over the past decade - for example, banks and GP surgeries unaware of a customer's status, or overstayers slipping through because a warrant covered only a single property. Secure Immigration Removal Centres (SIRC) will be built rapidly to detain up to 24,000 Detention capacity for up to 24,000 will be created within 18 months. The Home Office will build Secure Immigration Removal Centres. This will be modular accommodation built in remote parts of the country. Conditions are basic but not punitive: prefabricated two-person rooms, canteen catering, on-site medical suites. Robust perimeters and internal movement controls prevent escapes. This enables detention-on-arrest: no more bail. This capacity would allow for up to 24,000 illegal migrants to be deported per month. Initial Voluntary Return Window A six-month Assisted Voluntary Return window precedes large-scale raids. Illegal migrants will be offered a financial incentive to self-deport. An app will be launched to facilitate this. The Deportation Flights The Home Office will scale up charters to 5 flights per day. To guard against last-minute aircraft unserviceability, the RAF will keep one Voyager aircraft on six-hour 'hot-spare' readiness. If a commercial charter breaks down, detainees can still be flown out that night, preserving operational integrity. The legal reset will mean activist lawyers will no longer be able preven…

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.

It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

screenshot of text from Adam Serwer in The Atlantic: "The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive - because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force."

This is like "triggers an international diplomatic incident" levels of bad.

Consulate's are legally the territory of whatever country owns them. Ecuadorian Consulates are, legally, Ecuador. Invading one is like invading their country with an armed and militarized force.

Trump ICE regime thugs spotted at their hotel drinking and mocking protesters below who are angry about the two unarmed civilians the regime publicly murdered this month.

One of the thugs proceeds to expose himself while laughing. #3E #GoodvsEvil

This doesn't always work, but I don't know anything that works better.

In Italy? I can see some of them trying.

This is embarrassingly on-the-nose textbook “psychology of fascism” stuff. Bitter, impotent tools getting to feel powerful by proxy watching brutality done on their behalf.

I am begging you to run for office. If you’re young and progressive, you can have a significant positive impact on the Democratic Party as well as whatever race you run in. Join your local Democratic Committee. You’re PSL? You’re DSA? Join anyway. Pull them left. There are tons of orgs to help you!

Judges are attempting to get ICE under control. I doubt it will work but it failing would push us closer to a nightmare situation.
