There must be trials. Not as an emotive aspiration, rhetorical meme, or empty threat. A concrete plan. A dedicated special court for it. Structural legislation and prosecutors and funding and all the rest of it. Everything necessary for it can be done constitutionally. All it takes is the will.

Oh, they LIED lied.

The default assumption should be that they’re lying

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.

“We didn’t realize defendants had evidence proving ICE lied their asses off. Can we just get a… bad court thingy?”

The trouble with total-stock-market index fund investment is that you can’t avoid having some of your money put into idiotic nonsense like this.

Oh my God, he admit it!

“We’re not anti-vaccine, we just think people should have a choice (to get the vaccine we refuse to review).”

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

Never Forget

tfw you leave Plato’s cave awfulannouncing.com/nfl/pat-mcaf...

They're trying to tell us that they always get what they want. That there is nothing so hideous that they won't do it, even if it's kidnap a five year old child and then, when they lose, really try even harder to make him suffer more. Fuck them.

Good. "But DHS isn't just ICE, it's also..." nope, wrong. DHS no longer serves any useful functions, the whole thing has been reassigned to repression. FEMA isn't even paying out to states. All DHS does is shooting, teargassing, facial recognition, and administrative warrants. Shut it down.

74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month. Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

On the charge of first-degree email criticism, how do you plead?

[in tears] one of them even said “pschoo pschoo”

Everything he touches dies.

These kinds of human scale, mixed-use Midwest dive bars are illegal to open and operate in most American neighborhoods.

Kavanaugh stop

These fucking animals are drawing guns on people for the non-crime of following them while following all traffic laws

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter. He's got to go.

Bovino’s retirement needs to be a cage. His command environment yielded Renee Good’s death, Alex Pretti’s death & Julio Sosa-Celis’ shooting. Failure to prosecute Bovino & everyone else materially responsible for these atrocities will be understood by ICE, CBP, etc as a green light for the next ones

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

This witness to Alex Pretti's murder not only refutes the governmen't story, but says she is afraid to go home because federal agents might arrest her. This is what it feels like to live under state terror. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

I spent the most formative years of my political life reading headlines like this seemingly every week.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

the only reason "abolish ICE" is seen as radical is that no one will say it but the far left. if every normie Democrat started saying it tomorrow it would move the overton window so far you'd have to squint to find it. my kingdom for leaders who understand they can shape public opinion.

This was murder. Pretti did not initiate the confrontation. He didn’t strike them. He didn’t brandish his gun. They tackled him, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him.

The federal government is gunning people down in the streets, lying about what happened and then preventing any independent investigation of the killings

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

If the US were a geopolitical rival the headlines would be like: US Secret Police Execute Second Dissident In the Streets As Militarized Occupation Enters Sixth Week

Just want to make sure that people understand, this guy isn't saying this because he's ignorant or stupid, he's saying it because he does not believe we should live in a free society. That is the entire Republican Party. They do not believe in living in a free society.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

Go Filet-O-Fish!

ICE is *causing* the chaos, you disgusting leprechaun.

In the past couple days I think I finally came to terms with the unspeakable things the country will have to go through before we get to the other side. A private army with unlimited funding operating outside the law is gonna do some real bad shit before it can be stopped.

This guy is like one of 4 Americans who actually went and got their REAL ID and immediately they said it was a fake. Just so everyone knows when they toss your ass in a truck it won't matter what passport or identification you have they'll throw it in the street and you're gone

Hmm, I guess they must just need more training (and a bigger budget).

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

You carry the real It Happening in your heart, secure and warm, beyond their reach. One day you will get to let it out.

Say it louder for the Senators in the back.

taking trump seriously rn would be too damaging to a US in decline so the whole system is squirming to not look at him directly. press translating what he says to sound more sane, democrats just talking about eggs. he's too big to fail
