you would think at the point that federal law enforcement is being used to steal & tamper with election infrastructure that The Democrats as a national political party would start treating things very gravely

When Keystone Kash's FBI raided the Georgia election office, they not only took all the ballots and equipment, they also took the back-up images of the ballots. Taking the back-up images means that they can tamper with the ballots without anyone being able to prove they did it.

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals". This should be said every time ICE is mentioned.

🚨"They're stealing the car!" As Tom Homan vows "safer" ICE operations, ICE rammed into a driver's car in Minneapolis—in front of an elementary school—then chased him. After failing to catch him—they stole his car. "Back up before I f*cking spray you!" ICE yelled at observers ⬇️

Sorry I cannot alt-text this one. Here's the link. Pretty remarkable. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Pew has Trump's approval at 37%. And: "Only about a quarter of Americans today (27%) say they support all or most of Trump’s policies and plans, down from 35% when he returned to office last year. That change has come entirely among Republicans." www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

ice is dialing it back in maine early because susan collins is afraid of losing her seat, in case you were wondering what a legislator can do about any of this

So back in June Alex Padilla was tackled and detained by ICE for trying to ask a question at a press conference. The story from the administration was he attacked her. Fast forward 7 months, Maxwell Frost attacked, Ilhan Omar attacked. Not a peep from the media about "turning down the rhetoric". 🙄

Why isn't Israel forced to go back to its original AGREED UPON borders and get the fuck out of the Palestinian land they now OCCUPY illegally!!!!???? That's the right fucking solution. Oh, and force Israel to pay reparations IN FULL to all Palestinians whose lives have been destroyed.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — A former Illinois deputy has been sentenced to 20 years for fatally shooting Sonya Massey, who called 911 for help.

"First Draft: Noem Knifes Miller" The Oval Office becomes a circular firing squad, Trump goes after the 2nd Amendment, and a man attacks Ilhan Omar.

A lot has been written about the end of democracy, but if Alex Pretti’s murderers are not tried and convicted, we have truly lost our republic. Not the first such murder, but the multiple videos and the absolute clarity about what occurred are truly shocking.

So we’ve got premeditation and motive

The judge said the Trump administration has failed to comply with “dozens” of court orders restricting immigrants from being detained.

Why do we need to lobby our own "representatives" and beg them to call off the War Against Our Neighborhoods that fascists have unleashed? Because we have no representatives. Anyone who okays even a dime for ICE or any part of the fascist regime is our enemy. And does NOT represent The People.

Larry Krasner's statement: "We are a very substantial tool against what I consider to be a pretty clear attempt to normalize fascism and to overthrow democracy in the United States."

Nine DAs are coalescing to work on prosecuting federal agents for 'overreach': —L. Krasner in Philly —J. Creuzot in Dallas —M. Moriarty in Minneapolis —L. Conover in Tucson —S. Descano in Fairfax (VA) —R. Fatehi in Norfolk (VA) —S. Morales in Portsmouth (VA) —P. Dehghani-Tafti in Arlington (VA)

this is such an embarrassing speech to give a newsroom of media professionals. this all boils down to "the internet exists and people don't watch as much TV news". incredible revelation Bari. Her solution seems to be "create a product people want even less than TV news".

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

The Trump administration is going after voter rolls in multiple states. This is a prelude to major bad stuff coming.

i reject all the significant achievements of modern science and social development in favor of a video i once saw of a dying penguin

Again, we are supposed to believe that this is an agency that is in need of additional training, vetting, etc. It is being elevated into a Praetorian Guard. They’re *elevating* ICE. Sending them a law to “retrain & restrain” will be WORTHLESS. Abolish this abomination.

the fact that ICE, ostensibly a domestic immigration enforcement agency, is being used as personal security for regime officials should be extremely disturbing and startling

The problem with symbolic compliance isn’t just that they fall short of ending violence. It’s also that people duped by the symbols will switch sides to defend the oppressor, emboldening them to become more violent and violate more civil rights than before.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

This sums it up.

The only good part about sacrificial lambs is that they can more easily be convinced to testify against the agency & its directives

It's so crazy that the Democrats can't do anything when they are in the minority to the extent that they may as well not hold office at all, and then, as soon as they have the majority, they can't do anything because they are being procedurally blocked in ways that leave them just as helpless.

Now I want to know which CNN reporter or producer doesn't know the word "sycophant."

The starving crocodiles that have been released onto this ship full of children need better training, proper monitoring, and also must cease any unnecessary eating NOW. No children on the lido deck or 1st class should EVER be consumed. That's why I'm voting an additional $44B for crocodiles.

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

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

how stay-at-home fascists rationalize their support for an oppressive state, demonstrated in real time.

This is embarrassingly on-the-nose textbook “psychology of fascism” stuff. Bitter, impotent tools getting to feel powerful by proxy watching brutality done on their behalf.

"Return CBP to the border" Now that you have seen what CBP does, why is it okay to have them on the US-Mexico or US-Canada border? Some people say they want "a controlled border" but at what cost to life?

Israel’s announcement came as Palestinians in Gaza mourned the killing of at least three Palestinians in Israeli attacks, in another violation of the U.S.-brokered truce.

Today’s retreat is absolutely an attempt to take pressure off of Congress to rein in ICE so that a funding package can get through. That pressure has been effective. We can celebrate Minneapolis’ win but we need to keep the pressure on. They’re not going to stop forever.

Firing a few key faces at the top while maintaining the the fundamental system is one of the most common appeasement tactics in history. Don't settle for Bovino. Don't settle for Noem. Don't settle for Miller. ICE must be abolished. That is the bare minimum.

demilitarization implies the disarming of IDF as well, so its a strange turn of phrase from a fascist who seeks total domination

ive been hearing shit like this for about a year now and the court's patience always manages to hold out long enough that no one in the Trump administration faces any consequences for anything

It's so crazy to see so many politicians running terrified away from even hinting at saying this very simple, very obvious, extremely popular thing, which also happens to be a clear moral imperative.

There's apparently body cam footage of Alex's murder. Do people know this? This lets you know that a demand for body cams is USELESS and in fact just a way to give more money to the killers.

If you see any Democrats talking about how ICE/CBP is "untrained" or "poorly trained" remind them that federal immigration agents should NOT be trained how to invade & occupy American cities, arrest people without warrants, or violently engage bystanders, that this just should not exist at all

between chuckie boy biting it and this, illustrates the massive untethering from reality the ruling class pedophiles have from the rest of us, they lost the culture war and believe they can brute force their jim crow fascist apocalyspe into being

Long way to go yet but I think it's worth pointing out that the entire rightwing media ecosystem went all in on the idea that Americans, or at least enough of us, would accept the idea that the government should be able to murder people in the street and they failed utterly

Windows PCs ‘Suddenly’ Fail After Microsoft’s New Update

done with Democrats using weaselly "untrained" rhetoric. ICE is doing exactly what they're being trained to do. The last ICE murderer was a TRAINER. This is a pathetic & transparent attempt to rhetorically tee up Democratic support for future DHS/ICE/CBP funding on the basis of "more training"
