It isn't about the guys in the kitchen; it really isn't about undocumented immigrants either...

It is about the development and training of a normalized domestic occupation force.

Is there a suggested course of action in there?

Doomsaying isn't resistance.

Any legitimate law enforcement agency would require their agents to stop and render aid to any citizen harmed.

Instead, ICE runs people down and flees the scene. Pretending to be law enforcement is correct.

In LA:

This didn't age well.

One attorney, Lizbeth Mateo, said ICE officials slated several of her clients for check-ins at the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building in downtown L.A. but when they showed up on Tuesday, they were detained and immediately escorted to the basement. Mateo said a couple and their two children, one of whom is a U.S. citizen, spent the night in a room with no beds and limited access to food and water. Mateo said the father had previously been issued a stay of removal, barring him from deportation but he and his family were detained anyway. His wife was released Wednesday evening along with their children since she needed medical attention due to a high-risk pregnancy. He was still being detained early Friday, Mateo said.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles.

Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

What's worse... is we were outright warned... and didn't listen.

Confirmed, and thank you.

I've said this more times than I can remember... and I'll keep saying it.

Christian nationalism is Nazism.

Religious demographics of Nazi Germany, census taken 6 years into the Hitler era:
54% Protestant
41% Catholic
3.5% Other denomination
1.5% Atheist

☝️🤣-Hahaha!!! This one wins the Internet for today.

"I call it a blend of apathy and sexism"

Yes.

Voter apathy is the #1 problem.

Voters weaponizing their votes, by not voting or voting for the other side because of whatever singular reason, is the #2 problem.

If we collectively assumed the responsibility, and the culpability, of "OUR fault" then far fewer people would weaponize their vote or vote for self-destruction.

100% agreed.

Trickledown economics and the ever-present hatred has caused America to forget what "of, by, and for the people" actually means.

Phang: And listen, he’s got a beefy lawsuit here. You can imagine what discovery is going to be like once this case moves forward—because it will. It will not be dismissed…

i would pay good money to watch a cage match between her and Pete Hegseth.

Trump's tariffs are just extortion masquerading as foreign policy.

It's a gangster thing.

The dictator of one of the United States' enemies is using the President of the United States to announce military attacks on a United States ally.

Is it weird that you say "the FBI charged" instead of "the DOJ charged"?

Since when does the FBI charge anyone... don't they turn over investigation results to prosecutors to do the "charging"?

I check the FCC filings daily (insider activity).

One of my fondest hopes is that Tesla crashes and burns... Tesla falls and so does the "unstoppable" Musk personae.

Trump signs proclamation banning travel from 12 countries, CBS News reports U.S. President Donald Trump signed a proclamation banning travel from certain countries, CBS News reported on Wednesday, citing administration officials.

An iron curtain doesn't just suddenly fall to control the travel and information freedom of a citizenry...

An iron curtain first falls to control the travel of foreigners in the name of security. Once that is done, the fascist eye will turn inward to control travel within the nation's borders.

I can study all my life: Denmark pays students $1,000 a month to go to universities, with no tuition fees

TY for link, found you through that. In a general search, you do not show up.

An aside question... you gone from Threads?

I heard the guy, about 30 feet from me, say "fucking cop!" and turn away.

That's how Mexico and Canada feel right now. They too need to stop and "reach back", because Trump is shadowing them.

I was utterly drunk, alone - like staggering drunk - at a bar in Pioneer Square, once.

I was trying to get back to my car and I saw someone shadowing me as I crossed a street, blocks away, in the dark.

I stopped in the middle of the street and put a hand behind my back, as if a gun.

Fuck that guy with every fuck in the fucking world of fucks.
