Savannah teacher killed in crash by man fleeing from ICE According to the Chatham County Police Department, Monday morning’s fatal crash was the result of a chase between Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and a suspect.

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

Tweet from the US Department of State: "The civilization that gave the world Beethoven, established the rule of law, built the Sistine Chapel, and circumnavigated the globe must cast off the shackles of shame and self-doubt. Europe must reverse its decline. Europe must survive."

This is just open, unabashed white nationalist rhetoric at this point.

“Elon Musk and Pete Hegseth think that diversity will doom us. In reality, though, their racist paranoia and white nationalist conspiracy theories are the real threat.”

Diversity Is Our Strength This morning, Elon Musk – the world's richest man and a key ally to the president of the United States – posted the content below to the white nationalist chat room and CSAM emporium he owns There's ...

“When Musk and Hegseth argue that a racially diverse nation is inherently weak, they're … parroting the exact same propaganda that Nazi Germany promoted against America during World War II.”

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.

Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.

Our priorities are so fucked.

We are now in year 2 of the war on science.

Concerns over autocracy in the U.S. continue to grow Is America still a democracy? Scholars tell NPR that after the last year under President Trump, the country has slid closer to autocracy or may already be there.

Finally watched Denis Villeneuve’s “Incendies.” Incredible.

Laughing ICE Goons Seize Dad Who Fled Ukraine War at Walmart Dmytro Kulyk is facing deportation as refugees become the Trump administration’s latest target.

“I am too scared to drive my 5-year-old daughter to school in my husband’s car. I’m terrified ICE will detain me and our daughter will end up alone,” she said. “This is just as scary as the war in Ukraine, except now we don’t have Dmytro with us..."

And does he think Irish people were always welcomed here?

If you think there’s NOTHING in our heritage (or in any nation’s) to be unapologetic about, you’re a fool. A dangerous fool.

If my math is right, the current force is 10X the normal amount

And what’s a “security force”? This is Minneapolis, not Baghdad

Will there be consequences?

YouTube video by Senator Brian Schatz Where’s the red line?

Senator Brian Schatz, to Republicans about the attempted indictment of Democrats:

“It is not obvious to me that anybody has even contemplated where exactly the line is. For me, it’s been crossed. But I just ask my colleagues: do you even have a line?!”

What the congressman reports below is disgusting.
He reveals the utter lack of decency and humanity in the Trump administration, especially in the telling detail at the end.

Everyone in America should see this and think about what it implies. And have the courage, like him, to stand up.

See ICE wants these cases in Texas, where Trump-infected courts are more tolerant of their antics, more biased against non-citizens, more willing to let DHS fill up concentration camps.

(Not all Texas judges, for sure. Plenty are bravely faithful to the rule of law. ICE is playing the numbers)

So it’s a race: how quickly can a person’s family realize they were snatched and find a lawyer, and how quickly can that lawyer get a habeas petition of file? And is that faster than ICE can load the detainee on a plane to Texas?

It’s exhausting and terrifying. It can be life and death.

We are entering the “falling out of windows” phase.

DHS: Our officer was ambushed and beaten with snow shovels and broom handles. This was an attempted murder of federal law enforcement.

ICE says federal agents appear to have lied about confrontation that led to shooting

Agents had initially said that two men — Alfredo Aljorna and Julio Sosa Celis – assaulted them with a broom and a shovel before one of them shot Sosa Celis. But that account was quickly called into question, and prosecutors now say “newly discovered evidence” contradicts the officers’ story.

The default assumption should be that they’re lying

USAID money that saved people’s lives now reallocated to create a paid entourage for the guy who promised to put federal employees in trauma

They.
Just.
Lie.

EPA reverses long-standing climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions The agency announced it is repealing its 2009 conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and well-being.

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.

The history books will remember this one

Election denier involved in fake electors plot wrote much of SAVE America Act, Trump-aligned think tank claims “I’m here to do everything I can to make this work,” Thomas Lane wrote in a December 2020 email to other organizers of the Trump campaign’s fake electoral plot in Arizona.

🚨BREAKING: An election-denying former Donald Trump campaign staffer who was subpoenaed by the FBI over his role in the attempt to steal the 2020 election is now taking credit for writing the sweeping voter suppression bill passed by the House Wednesday that could disenfranchise millions.

cool, cool. so we are sort of like citizens, but not really?

These accounts are indistinguishable from what happened in early concentration camps of other regimes, where many people died of malnutrition or diseases. This is the time to stop these. Right now. Because we know what is next.

From @wired.com: “Federal records reveal ICE is secretly expanding into 150+ facilities across nearly every state — many near schools, medical offices, and places of worship… DHS asked the General Services Administration to hide lease listings and bypass normal procedures…”🤔

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Even if you subscribe to the idea that "illegal immigration is illegal," the punishment doesn't even come close to fitting the supposed "crime."
