Acting Field Director David Easterwood.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

This sort of shit is so far outside the bounds of human behavior that in almost any society in the history of the world it would be immediately and unequivocally understood that you needed to be put down like a rabid dog

BREAKING: USA

They're pre-folding on the shutdown. I'm tired of pretending any of this posturing matters. We do not have a federal government. We just don't. Sorry if that hurts to hear. It's a piggy bank for Trump to turn on and off as he pleases while he drags out every court case. Dems will keep it open

Rojava, the largest actually-democratic project in the world, has entered what might (or might not) be a last desperate stand.

waking up to the Belgian PM quoting Gramsci at Davos re: Trump www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

libs spent days convincing themselves that Europe would stand up to Trump over Greenland, meanwhile Macron is sending him “uwu let’s keep the imperial core together, forget Greenland, and continue doing neo-colonialism, baby” texts

It must be so beautiful to live life thinking Obama quietly and ruthlessly brutalizing millions has nothing to do with what's happening now. Just two entirely separate bottle episodes in the tv show that is politics.

American cops killed 1096 people last year, the total for every nation in europe combined was 47.

To be politically conscious from 2000-2009, and more specifically from 2001-2005, was to have your brain stamped with a feverish Curse of Knowing. So when you see shit like this, all you can think is “Dick Cheney insisting on links between Al Qaeda and Saddam”. You never forget the scent.

Use code WWIII and receive a $500 bonus when you bet on the fate of Greenland with DraftKings

hey you idiot lefties, i bet you feel PRETTY stupid for not supporting the guys throwing the imperial boomerang now that we're all getting hit in the face with it,

Two community members stand on the street corner of Central Ave and 18th St, watching over a local business in 5° temps with a wind chill of -15°. They are patrolling the area, keeping an eye out for ICE activity, doing what they can to protect their immigrant neighbors.

A petit bourgeoisie you say, that sees its lifestyle and social position under threat you say? Finding exterior enemies and explanations from a rapidly growing facist movement, you say? Nope. Doesn't ring a bell.

hi from Minneapolis. these folks are catastrophically overthinking it; the immediate need when agents hit a block is for people that speak *any* language to know it's not safe to go out. that need is far more pressing than whatever this infantilizing "actually it's racist to make noise" shit is.

We have unlimited money for paramilitary forces that kidnap people off the streets but also have something called "school lunch debt" what are we doing here

Three years today. The cops are already killing protesters—it's not a line we haven't crossed, it's a thing already happening—but lots of people never heard about or paid attention to this one. So it goes

"we don't want people thinking Democrats are for open borders" I am! who gives a shit!!! my life has been immeasurably improved by the presence of immigrants in my community, regardless of their status, there is literally no downside there! why would I give a shit!!!!

ICE is a fascist organization built on exploitation, fear, and unaccountable violence. this is true whether they visit it upon Americans or immigrants. why does the distinction matter? why is it acceptable to do this to ppl born on the other side of an arbitrary border? do you oppose fascism or not?

“immigration enforcement” necessarily involves terror raids against people, why would it be ok against them but not Americans? you can’t cling to half-measures, if ICE doing fascist raids is bad when it happens to us, it’s bad when it happens to anyone

If I was kidnapped by ICE I'd be so annoyed at everyone who stood and watched and waited til the midterms to set a good example for society at large.

this is a level of casual, petty depravity that defies comprehension. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Obviously Denmark is part of a broader military coalition pledged to defend them in case of attack. I would have thought a guy who sold his house to go live on a military base because he was scared of his neighbors would get this.

There’s no opposition party to vote for, just a junior partner in the fascist coalition.

Walz and Frey have been very vocal about "not taking the bait" and trying to moderate protests and this is their reward. When are Dems gonna learn this is *always* gonna be the reward.

@solomonmissouri.bsky.social, Meat Camp, NC mention today!

Gavin Newsom is a slick-talking rich transphobic cop-loving dishonest opportunist. He takes his marching orders from billionaires. Newsom is a phony. I think most Americans can see right through him. I don't think he stands a chance in the general. He's Joe Lieberman with better hair.

your helplessness is learned and you are trying to make it contagious to reassure yourself things will be ok because The Law says so. I invite you to examine history or ask a neighbor who has lived in a collapsing nation what The Law did for them.

people are still on some "the law says ____" copium grow up and wake up, nothing happening in Minneapolis is lawful. Or Caracas. Or in offshore accounts in Qatar. "He can't do that" is not an inevitable result of "that's illegal." Meet the reality facing you with a modicum of sense and courage.

In Minneapolis, Minnesota, a woman was surrounded by agents and unable to produce her ID quickly enough. She was physically seized and taken away.

Every Confederate officer should have been executed. The Confederates ultimately won the war because we didn't kill every last one of its leaders

I’m sorry but a lot of y’all have been living in a fantasy world if you think cops are gonna fight other cops

ICE car was raided in Minneapolis, documents were found that reveal their ENTIRE plan, those involved, judges, maps, their immigrant targets plan of attack (yes they call them targets), names, numbers, emails, hotels, hotel phone numbers & more ! #ICE #MN #Minneapolis

They're not even fascist collaborators they're part of the regime at this point

they also use this framing when people talk about universal healthcare. "erm what will we do with people whose only skill is denying claims???" the structures that abuse us are major employment centers after all

there’s a solution to this problem too!

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

I really wish people hadn't demonized calories because the one thing that calorie count is really, really good for is being able to say "Wow those are starvation rations."

The person who wrote this should be kept against their will in the floating plastic Magneto prison

White Supremacists look at New England as a safe heaven for it's seemingly favorable racial demographics, which is one of the reasons Blood Tribe leader Chris Pohlhaus tried to make a compound in ME until he was chased out by community members. Mainers you can do the funniest thing again.

Lewiston, ME is also an interesting choice because this is where Blood Tribe leader Chris Pohlhaus and members of other neo-Nazi groups went to harass brown and Black people they assumed were migrants. Now essentially, DHS agents are going to do the same thing but with state power.

from the politics geniuses who brought you uhhh ... john fetterman

they might not literally be controlled opposition but i can't imagine what literal controlled opposition would be doing differently

BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally. Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center. Read the full story here: www.propublica.org/article/vide...

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.
