ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

Sitting President attempts to steal $10 BILLION from taxpayers.

The most corrupt regime of our lifetimes. With no close second.

And the Hunter hunters are silent.

DHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold.

It ain’t about deporting citizens; it’s about terrorizing a whole population.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

I really try to keep an even keel, and self-regulate because it’s the only way to be in this for the long haul, but sometimes the fury overtakes you for a bit.

ICE’s impunity is a formula for more violence Is America’s president building his own paramilitary militia?

The Economist magazine, with a world-wide audience, steps in hard against Trump/Noem’s violent embarrassment of our country with ICE’s goon-squad behavior. It’s remarkable, and sad, that Trump’s America looks like this to the world.

Ohio Bans Grace Periods for Mail Ballots, Fulfilling Trump’s Wishes Ohio is the fourth GOP-run state this year to ban ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive after. A Supreme Court case could force that policy nationwide next year.

Conservatives are currently pursuing a national strategy to ban grace periods for ballots sent through the mail. The U.S. Supreme Court will issue a ruling that could eliminate grace periods across the country.

A new heartland economy based on ICE warehouses and AI data farms.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

There's no way that ICE agents with barely a month of training know how to use force, or when not to.

That’s how we get reckless killings in our streets.

ICE Detention Contractors Are Reaping Massive Profits The largest immigrant deportation and prison contractors in the US are expecting an epic payout this year: for every $1

"The largest immigrant deportation and prison contractors in the US are expecting an epic payout this year: for every $1 that they donated to GOP campaigns in 2024, these private companies stand to reap more than $11,000 in increased annual revenue."

This appears to be a very friendly email from Melania to Ghislaine Maxwell:

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing.

She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

this guy’s an antisemite? this guy? next you’re gonna tell me elon musk is in the epstein files

I wonder if the New York Times will go after any of the prominent academics in the Epstein files for being rapists as hard as they went after Claudine Gay for being kind of sloppy with citations in her graduate thesis.

If not, why not?

Oh okay😳

Epstein survivor Lisa Phillips reacts to Todd Blanche: I’m actually shaking right now. I want to fucking cry. It makes me so sick. And he has a wedding ring on. Like, really—how does he go home to his wife. I’m looking at the files right now that shows names…

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

Judge orders release of 5-year-old Liam Ramos and father from ICE detention center A photo of Ramos wearing a bunny hat and a Spider-Man backpack as he was being detained went viral, sparking national criticism.

“U.S. District Judge Fred Biery excoriated the federal government, saying the case ‘has its genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children.’” www.ms.now/news/liam-ra...

"She sustained a torn rotator cuff, concussion and bruised ribs during the incident and received medical treatment at a hospital..."

When Republicans refer to "criminal illegal aliens," they mean everyone who is here on an asylum claim is a criminal. Latino voters who flipped to Trump in 2024 didn't quite get that. They do now. Also, many of the “criminal records” are for things like driving with no license & other misdemeanors.

“What’s a good reason NOT to track how many kids using @GovBillLee’s vouchers were already in private schools?”🤷🏼

We asked Republicans why they wouldn’t back the @jeffyarbro.bsky.social & McKenzie bill to require tracking it.

None had an answer. (Spoiler: because it’s most of them)

Democrats demanding you follow the 4th Amendment? INSANITY

So I guess we are supposed to believe that Trump isn’t shutting down the Kennedy Center because pretty much every show and performer canceled on them and the facility would’ve been completely empty for the remainder of his term.

Murphy on Fox News Sunday: "I mean -- c'mon. We're still pretending that ICE is going after dangerous people? They aren't. What is happening in Minnesota right now is a dystopia. ICE is teargassing elementary schools, it is disappearing legal residents into cars, it is murdering American citizens."

To be more precise, the Russia connection entangles Trump, Melania, Epstein, Musk and Thiel and many others in their immediate entourage... it's one of the things bringing them all together.
