Homeland Security is protecting us from roofers, doctors, cooks, musicians and the lady who gives your elderly mom a bath.

Whoa whoa whoa buddy who is this Jesus Christ you’re expecting me to emulate and what exactly did you say happened to him.

"Repulsive hardly describes Vance’s performative spectacle last week justifying the public execution of an American citizen by state militia. "

Looks like the EU-US trade deal is now dead, with all three major groups in the EU Parliament calling at least for suspension. The downward spiral has already begun.

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

Abigail Spanberger was told to throw trans youth under the bus during her campaign. She refused to do so. She won the election by 15 percent. A dominant victory. A landslide. She was just sworn-in as the 75th Governor of Virginia, the first woman to lead the state.

a few things I want people to get from this: -how tense it is here. I was death-gripping the steering wheel during this, even watching it makes me tense up -how organized the community is. the rapid response networks are ENORMOUS and highly effective -how completely the city is united against ICE

If you keep bending the knee to a fascist, they will keep bullying you. They see weakness as opportunity, complicity as agreement. The fact Schumer is still willing to fund DHS should OUTRAGE all of you.

Of course he feels empathy for a man who owns a bunch of shit holes and spreads his filth everywhere.

i have been reading Tom Ricks’ “Fighting the Good War” which is a military analysis of the civil rights movement, and one thing that comes abundantly across is that movement leaders and ordinary people made it a practice to refuse to fall into despair and cynicism.

The many can defeat the money. And the MAGA. #BraveOfUS

Democrats almost always prefer to follow polls over actually leading. The fact that they're *not* following polls on ICE (which a plurality of voters want to abolish) tells us a lot about who they actually work for.

When you focus on the regular people showing up magnificently in all of their flawed beauty, it helps you to keep going.

breathtakingly embarrassing for absolutely everyone involved lol

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

“ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do” is Mike Johnson accidentally making the most important, ironclad case for abolishing ICE I’ve ever heard.

I can’t believe that memo. Searchlight Institute is way behind the times. Abolish ICE is the most popular position now. Their attempt to compare it to defund the police, which never even reached 30% support, is misleading and insane

The history of civilian mass detention on the basis of identity without due process or recourse (which is how I defined concentration camps in my history of them) shows that it invariably leads to permanent harm—and typically significant loss of life as well. The longer it goes on the worse it gets.

Asking the ICE agent beating a guy up on the pavement to hold still so I can scan his QR code that he was required to wear instead of a badge that can simply be read

We are so far beyond "show us your papers." They don't want to see the papers. We are now into the "give us the names" stage of the occupation.

Respectfully, you’re talking about masked men who shot a mother in the face in broad daylight, on camera, in front of many witnesses. Americans can and should bravely stand witness, but let’s be honest about reality on the ground. People are taking real risks to protect their immigrant neighbors.

If you ever wondered what you'd have done in Germany in the 1930s… it's what you're doing now.

Personally, I’m rooting for the blood clot

AOC: So long as the Republican Party and the Trump administration is using ICE to attack American citizens and shoot mothers in the face. I'm not willing to have a conversation with them about any other bad faith attempts to terrorize US citizens.

To any ICE agents reading this who are from down south—you have never experienced anything like this cold. Our European climate equivalent is literally Stalingrad. It will hurt to breathe. You will be outside in it. So will we, but we are used to it. Next week is what will break you.

I think some Democrats are catching up to the moment

Why Minnesota? It's not merely the most horrific kind of ill-luck that delivered another caught on video state mandated murder. Minnesota represents a direct assault on the white nationalist narrative & thus claim to power. 🧵

MAGAs: The left is escalating the rhetoric by calling us Nazis Also MAGAs: Look at our new podium, featuring a Nazi slogan about the time Nazis wiped out an entire village in Czechoslovakia and killed up to 5000 innocent people in retaliation for one Nazi being killed. "One of ours, all of yours."

Eight years ago today at 8:07 AM local time in Hawaii (1:07 PM EST)—during a period of sharply escalating tensions between President Donald Trump and North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un—this emergency alert flashed on smartphones and was broadcast on televisions and radios across the 50th state.

Murdering your neighbor to the right, disappearing your neighbour to the left, those are, in fact, kitchen table issues.

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."

The Trump administration is excusing murder by ICE using the same lies as those told by Maduro’s regime. These lies are part of the logic of death squads. Govt controls the story & the next murder is easier. And suddenly this is normal and people simply disappear. snyder.substack.com/p/maduro-in-...

Seriously? “More training” is how you fix workplace errors. It's not how you confront a fascist regime deploying masked men to abduct our immigrant neighbors, terrorize communities, and silence dissent. Treating this as an issue of “professionalism” obscures the truth: the violence is the mission.

People sometimes say that I am part of the resistance. I always correct them. I am part of the opposition. There is a big difference.

Alternatively, these people could go on the record and say that Trump is insane and needs to be removed from office immediately

One of the many, many ways people are fighting ICE in Minneapolis is helping neighbors safely shelter at home during a time when abductions are genuinely rampant. People in Minneapolis are doing *so much* great work

Arendt captures the same danger we keep circling back to: when truth dissolves, responsibility follows. What remains is obedience without reflection and that’s the most fragile ground democracy can stand on.

At Boston government center right now, next to the federal building. There are thousands of people gathered here in a massive crowd around the speakers against ICE. A helicopter is circling lower than usual. Small visible police presence. The protest was organized by LUCE

If the executive branch can unilaterally cut off federal funding to specific states the union has already been dissolved.

You cannot tell voters that this regime is an existential threat one day and aid and abet it every other day. Either you're lying or you are complicit, neither of which makes you fit for office.

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

rightwingers always call women “too emotional” but renee good states she’s not mad in a calm voice while the agitated emotional ICE agent unloads his gun umprompted and calls her a “fucking bitch” after she’s dead

THAT FUCKER NEEDS TO BE LOCKED UP AND THROW AWAY THE FUCKING KEY.

This is murder.
