From @aljazeera.com : “ICE’s budget went to $75 BILLION - more than all but 15 militaries… $45B to detention (GEO GROUP & CORE CIVIC), larger than the budget for the entire federal prison system… ICE’s budget could cover Medicaid for 2 million Americans…” Cruelty is big business.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

For those keeping score at home:

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

indistinguishable from atomwaffen division nazis at this point

“The sun sloughs off material regularly, but it usually doesn’t hit Earth, just by chance. Our luck has to run out eventually, however. Scientists estimate there’s around a 12 percent chance of a massively disruptive coronal mass ejection hitting Earth every 10 years...”

Fake Religion, fake sales…it’s always a grift with these heretics and thieves.

WHAT THE F--K!!! The DOJ has JUST DELETED these Epstein Files again, after a NYT's article from 2016 was shown to corroborate much of it! Share Everywhere: We Screen-Grabbed what they just deleted: krassencast.com/p/urgent-doj...

I think people are forgetting that those in charge are still stupid and the amount of people sick of their shit is growing beyond numbers they can control enough to suppress the vote into their favor. I'm no Doomer - All gas, no breaks, we take our Country back or die trying.

I think rural, perhaps gun-toting, conservative doesn't like the idea that flash trained government thugs can make up cause, escalate things, pin you down, clearly disarm you, and execute you in the street before driving off into the mid-day with full gov't support as much as online fascists do.

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."

I guess they are pretty upset. For some reason.

Keith Ellison: "The president is openly promoting authoritarianism and tyranny. That is what's happening in America. Most of us thought we would never see it, but here it is right in front of our eyes."

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Fascism lies and lies and lies… rewriting history.

“.. It was laughable, if there was something to laugh about,” said one of the nurses .. “There was no way this person ran headfirst into a wall.” @apnews.com apnews.com/article/immi...

This is harassment, assault, kidnapping, intimidation, a more… thankfully it wasn’t murder again…

Marimar Martinez is a hero. She was shot 5 times by ICE. The agent told her to “do something b*tch” before opening fire. He later bragged “5 shots, 7 holes”. DHS tried to smear her reputation but video footage vindicated her. Next week she will testify in Washington about ICE’s brutality.

When this era is done, the country doesn’t just need a reforms, there needs to be a massive cultural shift. Universal healthcare. Lifetime public education & retraining. No more CEOs making absurd salaries (especially when they are cutting jobs). Term limits for Congress and the Supreme Court, Etc.

End. Capitalism. It’s designed to function by exploiting labor (people) and assumes infinite resources, which there are not.

In case you needed another reason to boycott Apple:

Don’t let them steal your joy! Rest, recharge, RESIST!

ICE agent in a private chat with colleagues: "Ten versus one and somehow they couldn’t find a way to subdue the guy...They all carry belts and vests with 9,000 pieces of equipment on them and the best they can do is shoot a guy in the back?” www.kenklippenstein.com/p/ices-secre...

They are a secret police force. We still don’t know the names of those that killed Pretti. Nothing they’re doing has anything to do with immigration while also breaking constitutional laws of US citizens every single day.

Fascism literally at the door. An administrative warrant doesn’t count, especially in a make-believe situation like this. Fuck. This. Fascist. Regime.

So it was premeditated murder is their argument? Jfc

Independent journalist Georgia Fort was also arrested by federal agents earlier for reporting on the church protest in Minneapolis. She was live streaming when agents arrived to take her into custody.

Statement from Don Lemon’s attorney:

Only one reason it's in the news again and that is "Where are the Epstein files?"

“… the antonym of "remember" is "dismember" – to sever, to fragment, to tear apart… If the government wanted to, they could be much more subtle. With the rise of digital surveillance, they could be calmly, privately, reaching out to people to confirm their citizenship status.” Read more:

Frey: "In Mpls, we heard them say they'll end this siege when we hand over voter rolls. The DOJ is being used as a weapon. They're investigating me and several other local elected officials not because we've done something wrong because we speak on behalf of our constituents.

“ jokes are the number one form of nonviolent resistance”

The inciteful rhetoric is coming from INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE & from ICE agents, you goon. youtu.be/W1IM9JxClcM

Just want to encourage everyone not only to cancel your Amazon account, but also require them to delete your personal information. In my case, that required chatting with 3 different agents. Each of whom asked me why. I gave them a top 5 list of Amazon crimes and suggested they join a union ;)

Important. There has not been a deescalation.

Greg Bovino is just like an abusive priest. They simply transferred him to a different parish.

Worth a follow ✊🏼❤️

All they do is lie and violence, violate people’s rights… it must be stopped. Forever stopped. We need new systems, especially an end to capitalism as we know it.

“… uphold against enemies foreign and DOMESTIC…” Look, I’m no nationalist, but he’s right, and what’s happening right now is not normal or ethical or moral or anything decent… we are under attack by fascist terrorists disguised as our leadership.

Rep. Veronica Escobar on a homicide in a Texas immigrant detention facility: "I've learned nothing else from DHS, and I think what's also very telling is DHS tried to deport the witnesses to this homicide"

“In order to resist fascism, we have to fight it on two fronts of U.S. state violence: at home and abroad.”

ICE does not need more training. They’re doing exactly what they’re trained to do. Democrats cannot vote for a single cent to ICE.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Many TikTok users recently reported problems uploading videos, sudden drops to zero views, or posts getting stuck “under review.” Almost all of those complaints involved videos criticizing ICE or discussing the murder of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
