Dispatches from the End of The World

Fucking terrifying..... they will kill people

Early planning documents reviewed by WIRED describe a statewide transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers across Texas, with ICE estimating each trip to average 100 miles. Every county would have its own small, around-the-clock team of contractors collecting immigrants from local authorities deputized by ICE. It is a subtle transfer of the physical custody process into the hands of a private security firm—authorized to carry firearms and perform transport duties “in any and all local, county, state, and ICE locations.”

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

MARGE: “I’m so angry at my own party, and these weak and pathetic men in house and senate leadership… I’m beyond pissed off.” 👀

#TrumpShutdown

Your daily reminder that Trump absolutely can fund SNAP through contingency funds.

He absolutely can prevent 42 million Americans — including 20 million children — from going hungry next month.

He is choosing not to. Don’t let him lie his way out of this.

Once again, so nice to see how ICE goons are helping our communities and keeping our families safe

Trump could soon make America’s refugee program a tool for white nationalism The White House is considering a plan to overhaul refugee admissions in favor of right-wing whites.

After bringing white South Africans to the United States as refugees earlier this year, the Trump administration has now granted protection to members of far-right European parties.

This plan, which becomes official today, makes the country's refugee program into a tool for white nationalism.

ethics and morality are clearly not on the curriculum at ol' yale law

Kristi Noem is lying.

So Greene is calling for Trump to be overthrow?

All the baddies in California are voting YES on Prop 50! And no, she’s not a political plant—just someone who actually cares about humanity and the future. It took her less than 5 minutes to fill out her ballot. Vote YES on Prop 50 ＆ tell your friends! #Prop50VoteYes

This indictment of @katmabu.bsky.social and five other protesters is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read (this week), and I imagine it will be laughed out of (lower) court. They’re being charged with the conspiracy of slowing down an ICE vehicle. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Multiple accounts on ICE Watch Facebook pages are reporting that agents pulled a couple out of their vehicle in Aurora, Illinois, arrested them, and then abandoned the couple’s toddler in the backseat.

Do people actually understand the war waged against the Panthers by the U.S government? I think that most people really do not.

ICE masks more than faces | Colorado Newsline The numerous daily ICE flights that crisscross the country to transport detained immigrants are difficult to track. That's by design.

Federal authorities communicate very little about the flights. We don’t know the identity of the passengers. And Key Lime was no help. Sara Wilson had a door shut in her face at Key Lime HQ & when she got the CEO on the phone he quickly ended the conversation.

I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people.

California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.

It still boggles my mind that he was elected the the first time. Only a complete idiot would support him. Right?

It still boggles my mind that so many people couldn't grasp last year how significantly more morally depraved a second Trump term would be in comparison to the first. And how so many people still can't comprehend that our national crisis isn't about politics, but simple morality.

Kristi Noem is lying.👇

Notable that the people carrying Trumpism don't act like they believe they're carrying out the will of the public, they act like dictators terrified of a spontaneous uprising so swift and massive it overwhelms their protective services before assistance can arrive.

BREAKING: Senate GOP just BLOCKED Democrats' straightforward bill to pay our troops.

If Republicans still refuse to work with Democrats to reopen the government and prevent health care costs from skyrocketing, they should at the very least be able to work with us to make sure our troops get paid.

President Trump is taking a wrecking ball to the White House—his temporary residence—without consulting its over 300 million rightful owners. I’m leading 59 of my colleagues to demand we protect our history & make the White House accessible again to the people.

BASH: You all found ways to pay the military and WIC. But why are you drawing the line now on 40 million Americans who literally will not be able to eat with govt assistance?

MIKE JOHNSON: If we had a contingency fund we could use, that would be done.


BASH: They say that's not what the law shows

How dangerous is it really to work for ICE? According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history.

Trump claims that ICE agents are in constant danger. The data tells an entirely different story.

According to stats from the agency's website, the deadliest threat to ICE agents is not immigrants, but COVID-19.
