What is the point of having a Congress if they won't exercise their congressional power over regulation, budgeting, appointments, and war? The unitary executive renders the legislature wholly irrelevant. We have a King. Am Unamerican unpatriotic betrayal of the founding ideals of this country.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

This effectively makes all of Minneapolis-St Paul & the extended Twin Cities a drone free zone, arguably violating ppl's rights as to use drones as they subject ppl to criminal liability over unmarked ice vehicles. Freedom of press...

Anyone opposed to Trump who repeats Bessent’s talking points is a fool. None of this has any basis in reality, they are going to manufacture a slight or a reason regardless of what anyone does. I’m not sure how much more restraint anyone can exhibit.

Note: for all this discussion (which is accurate as far as it goes), note the text saying they were on “flights”. As in: the amounts seized here doesn’t even hit the reporting threshold. This is just straight up stealing from people because they’re (maybe) immigrants.

I found something worse than Simon Rosenberg's shameless fundraising for worthless Dems: US military recruiters offering a completely Discretionary USCIS program protecting family members from deportation as an inducement to enlist. 🤣🖕

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

I’ve always felt this way, but this last week, watching the federal government invade my city, watching my neighbors resist it, watching congressional Dems essentially pretend it’s not happening - I have never so keenly felt that Democrats in Congress are profoundly useless and irrelevant

I once died on the facial recognition hill and got fired over my refusal to approve its implementation. Told them to take it over my head, I wouldn't sign off on it. This was one reason why. It doesn't actually work.

So, if you ever wondered why people who understand surveillance are salty about video cameras on doorbells... It's only a matter of time before they get co-opted into mass surveillance. And if the regime you live under changes that's you spying on your neighbours.

But the president of the United States is a criminally insane madman who is openly extorting the entire world and threatening war with NATO. The test is whether you’ll actually react APPROPRIATELY and PROPORTIONATELY, and our institutions have not and in fact refuse to do so.
