Another great read.

god bless america. fuck ice

Kristi Noem has claimed that "no American citizens have been arrested or detained" by immigration agents, despite copious evidence to the contrary.

Immigration policy expert @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social says the Homeland Security chief "is either ignorant of the facts or not telling the truth."

he's knocking down the literal white house and illegally murdering people by dropping bombs on international boats and the government has been shut down for weeks and it's just like....yep

Tweet from ultra-racist Councilwoman Vickie Paladino: "Why does Zohran just pathologically smile like a lunatic for absolutely no reason at all, always?"

Prosecute ICE

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

i do firmly believe in the end, we will win, but the dread and the loss of watching this nightmare unfold is really something. These assholes are undermining everything we've taken for granted as a democratic and open society (however imperfect) with such vile hubris

Reuters story headlines: Trunp calls for jailing Democratic leaders as troops prepare for Chicago deployment

If you had written this as a fake news headline a year ago, you would be called hysterical.

Reuters today. Fascism.

SHOOTING A PREACHER IN THE HEAD

She’s a seditious, treasonous usurper of America’s tradition of impartial justice and rule of law, and one day she should pay a terrible price for her betrayal of the Constitution and the oath she swore

new day, same old lie

I am just so fucking proud of her.

Welcome to the Era of "Kavanaugh Raids" ICE crosses another big, important line.

America enters a new, dark chapter: "Kavanaugh Raids" on entire buildings and neighborhoods, a chapter surely to be remembered as infamously as we now view the "Palmer Raids" of the first Red Scare. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/welcome-to...

bangs. "They was terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other," Watson said. "That's all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where's the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, 'f*** them kids.'" Watson said trucks and military-style vans were used to separate parents from their children. Other neighbors said agents destroyed property to get in the building. "They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down," said witness Darrell Ballard. "We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military."

“Fuck them kids.”

That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.

if you respect the law and the constitution, the trump administration has no use for you

Friendly two cents: I was taught that it was "Radical" Republicans that were abolitionists while "Conservative" Democrats were those who were more concerned with maintaining the status quo or Liberals who were interested in improving the conditions of servitude, rather than liberation.

“THE DEMOCRATS ARE SHUTTING DOWN THE GOVERNMENT AND DEPRIVING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OF ESSENTIAL SERVICES SO WE’RE GOING TO PERMANENTLY DISMANTLE THOSE AGENCIES AND FIRE ALL THEIR EMPLOYEES BECAUSE THOSE SERVICES ARE SCAMS”

If the President can raise his own revenues and direct his own spending without congressional approval we are squarely in the only situation the Constitution was actually drafted to avoid: English civil war territory

The ruling itself is remarkable, but it closes with something I've never seen: a 12-page assessment of Trump himself as an ignorant bully, braggart and threat to free speech and the republic writ-large. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Dumber than that

Rally round the family, with a pocket full of shells

jarring, but accurate to what I heard in middle school in rural vermont.

Reading the Burlington VT subreddit you'd think we live in a version of Harlem from the 1970's.

JUST IN: A federal judge in Vermont has ordered the release of a woman in the US illegally who has applied for a visa as a survivor of human trafficking.

She was arrested by ICE on her way to a mandatory "biometrics" appointment as part of that process.
