They just need more training

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Watters: I was walking in my street, a car drives by and I give him a wave. He rolls down the window and says, “F U fascist.” He doesn’t know I’m a fascist! Jessica: Yes, he does. You’re on TV.

If I was a Republican and especially if I participated in the Trump administration in any capacity, I would be terrified of what's going to happen to me in just a few years.

McIVER: Do you consider yourself a religious man? LYONS: Yes mam McIVER: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands? LYONS: I'm not going to entertain that question McIVER: Do you think you're going to hell, Mr Lyons?

NEW: The “centrist” Abundance think tank pushing Democrats toward deregulation is run by a registered corporate lobbyist for OpenAI, Larry Ellison’s Oracle, and a crypto think tank.

I think a lot of folks would rather you don’t give the ball to republicans to play with

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

Medicare for All is the guarantee of healthcare from cradle to grave—without premiums, copays, or deductibles. That's it. That simple.

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists. That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."

2/ Here's @atrupar.com's clip of that important moment in today's hearing: Once again, videos show Americans the truth about what ICE is doing. Camera's up & document, document, document. bsky.app/profile/atru...

BONGINO: We're not out there targeting grandma, but ... KRISTI NOEM: When we find those targets, we always see who they are surrounded with

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

NEW: ICE is leasing offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

a more accurate pithy little worthless picture would be a bunch of little blue hands pointing up at a big blue hand thats pointing the same way as the red hands

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

Yes. Miller knows those people can't all be deported. He knows they will be in camps. We need to understand: many, many people in Trump's circle read about the Nazis, openly admire Hitler, and want to emulate what Hitler did. We have to accept how serious this is - we cannot hide from it.

i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.

this is the same democrat who said ICE should be "held to the same standards as local police departments" while pretending local cops aren't getting military equipment from 1033 and training from dave "killology" grossman abolish ICE. you cannot reform this shit. they didn't sign up for "training".

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart 1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks 2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

Far as I can tell, none of the influential people and politicians who posed for pictures with Arely Westley in 2024 have spoken out about her abduction by ICE last year.

An underrated good the next Democratic administration could do with virtually zero actual political blowback from voters would be to come in with anti-trust laws like a wrecking ball and break up media and tech companies. It would fuck up The Other Side, too.

They were active participants in the "Dems are always worse and Trump's not really a fascist" movement. Now they're trying to rewrite their own history

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies. It was a "sideshow," I was told.

Translation: things will get worse for us peasants, while the top 1% get richer.

I am also going to win, because I'm never going to wake up in the morning, stare into the empty eyes of the thing in the mirror, and realise I traded my soul and my children's world to make a small profit off slop.

I am NOT insulting this woman's physical appearance but I AM saying there is not one ounce of light or humanity behind her eyes

while many of you are likely yelling “go patriots” or “go seahawks!” i’m yelling “go robert mueller and the rule of law!”

ethics professor here, can confirm

Abducted, tortured, and trafficked to a country she's never lived in, she's still trying to help others suffering at the hands of the Trump regime.

They've been torturing and abusing trans people for years now, even using us as slave labor. Note "2023"; these organizations cannot be reformed, certainly not by a party whose best idea is looking the other way.

even with a warning of this being rightwing pop punk i don’t think i was anywhere near ready for how BAD this is

While talking with Matthew Mercer on stream tonight will be MY Super Bowl, we’re pushing to 9PM CT so more folks can join! Can't wait to catch up with @matthewmercer.bsky.social :)

crickets from the free speech crowd, of course

I desperately need to see a big exposé from @marisakabas.bsky.social or @kenklippenstein.bsky.social or someone on how all of this is connected as part of a plan to sell detainees back to their old jobs and apparently much worse for the children.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

amusing to compare this lady with self proclaimed political tough guys like Rahm Emanuel and Andrew Cuomo

There is no reforming an institution like this. Abolish and prosecute ICE, and may fifteen generations shudder at their sentence

i started researching Russian disinfo networks in 2014 and writing about them in 2015 and the sheer amount of smug online assholes who dismissed every piece of reporting as CIA propaganda or whatever will never not piss me off

The radical and unrealistic position of "no concentration camps" The reasonable moderate position of "some concentration camps in certain circumstances"

They’ve made it clear, our community does not want this data center here. Today I stood with neighbors who are deeply concerned about the impact this project could have in the community.

If there's ever been a time to NOT be incrementalist, this is it. The most political capital you're gonna have is right now. And we got Gestapo death squads in MSP and TB spreading through concentration camps in Texas. If you can't find a win there, get out of politics. The Epstein Class, baby
