The US is no longer a liberal democracy, according to the top global watchdog on freedom and democracy. We're falling fast, and are now classed the same as Guatemala, Colombia, and Peru www.v-dem.net/documents/75...

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000 miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

THIS.

ICE "should be abolished, but also it should be prosecuted" - Democratic Rep. @sethmoulton.bsky.social, from the centrist wing of the party, tells me he wants his party leadership to go further than just reforming ICE. Doing that is "no longer believable." Full interview: zeteo.com/p/moulton-ic...

I told you they’d come after Veterans’ benefits. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

A backgrounder is someone who conducts background checks.

These are the acts of a fascist regime. We must stop them.

It isn't an empty gesture, it may not do anything now, but it's a signal to history, and to the world and to ourselves, that this is not ok.

“If all the names in the Epstein files are released then our entire system will collapse.” Works for me.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

10,000 protesters in Italy?! The world is standing in solidarity with the Haitian community and fighting back against ICE. The momentum is real. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/sen-ossoff...

The ‘American Sovereignty’ ads trying to convince us ICE is full of family people are not working. We can see that ICE is made up of vicious sadistic thugs who want to hurt anyone not like them. They are hired for their cruelty and ignorant stupidity.

Big law firms looking for redemption after humiliatingly capitulating to Donald Trump might consider that local folks fighting with almost no resources to keep immigrant prison camps out of their towns could use a little help.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

This is a list of over 1500 right wing predators since 2016. tinyurl.com/yc86m6x4 1313: Trump's spiritual advisor r@ped a child www.bbc.com/news/article... 1381: The TDS guy, trying to r@pe a child. tinyurl.com/eichorn1 It's worth noting the sheer number of rapists in the GOP, I feel.

If all these rich men "regret" their time with Epstein then why didn't they announce prior to the release of the files that their names would be part of the collection? Why didn't they self-report? The answer is they are not sorry and have no regret. They are sorry and regret they got caught.

Donald Trump won this district in Louisiana by 13 points in 2024. The Democrat just crushed a Republican extremist in this district by 24 points. Folks, that’s a 37 point swing to the left. We can compete everywhere and win anywhere. Let’s keep this up!

The Winter Olympics start today, and we will feel pride and honor for our country. But when we see our criminal, delusional, President, we feel none of those things. I’ve faced off with him before, and now I’m ready to take him on in Congress.

No funding for ICE or other terrorist organizations. It's that simple.

Read this. Reread it. Reread it until it sinks in.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

Abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who stays in it from this day forward as members of a criminal conspiracy to commit murder.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

COLLINS: Did it stand out to you that he said Iceland multiple times when he was talking about Greenland? NEWSOM: And that every time a windmill turns it costs $1,000. A lot of stuff stands out. None of this is normal. There's a deviancy of consciousness. He's graded off the curve.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

MN & other locations: ICE believe they're above the law. A Fed judge just ordered that they cannot deploy chemical agents at peaceful protesters. Again. Even if all you do is go to a hardware store & get a very good dust mask & goggles, it will help. Also, it'll make you unidentifiable. Like them

The biggest obstacle we face as a society in getting people to accept reality about Trump is that it requires people to face reality about themselves and about ourselves as a society.

fwiw i think his obsession with the nobel prize is entirely about obama getting it (setting aside whether or not obama ought to have received it)

Senior White House official says local and state police in Minneapolis “have been ordered to stand down and surrender.” What?

BREAKING: Medical examiner says death of ICE detainee was a HOMICIDE - a witness says he was choked to death by GUARDS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

A protester is currently lying in a hospital bed with a piece of shrapnel in his neck 7mm from his carotid artery. While he lay bleeding on the pavement, blinded in his left eye, gasping for air, agents did not call a medic. They dragged him and sneered: "You're going to lose your eye."

If you need any more proof of who this Admin serves, look no further. The EPA will no longer consider harm to HUMAN LIFE when setting air pollution limits. What will they consider? The bottom lines of the CEOs of the biggest polluters. A headline from The Onion come to life.

BREAKING: ICE agents pepper-spray peaceful demonstrators and journalists and deploy chemical irritants in Minneapolis. Our partners @statuscoupnews.bsky.social captured the moment live on the ground as it happened.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

ICE only has about 20-30,000 employees nationwide. Including desk jobs so there's even fewer armed. It's smaller than the NYPD. There's a reason they do their mega raids on one or two cities at a time, and it's not optics. It's because that's all the dudes they've got. Something to keep in mind.

🚨 The White House is now actively covering up a murder.

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.

Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

The Trump regime’s internal security enforcers murdered an American citizen in broad daylight. The regime is illegally blocking the release of evidence of Trump’s extensive collaboration with Epstein. They’re agitating for war with France and Germany. It’s completely insane anyone supports them.
