The "ICE is using military tactics suited for a warzone, not for American streets" rhetoric kinda misses the point that warzones are not naturally occuring. The US military creates war zones from residential neighborhoods and the tactics are not more justifiable just because it's overseas

I'm not sure where this idea comes from that ICE and Border Patrol couldn't hack it in the "real" military. The data does not support this; in fact both of these agencies recruit heavily from the military. A very large number of Border Patrol agents and Deportation Officers are former infantry.

A follow-up to the original ICE article, in which I talk about the DHS's response to the article and why it's so ridiculous I also take on the "why are you mad that ICE isn't discriminating against lefties" cope, amongst other things

here's the trick: abolish ICE means...abolish ICE. no explanation needed!

The only good Christian is an Anabaptist. The only good Anabaptist is a Munsterite.

I'm in a bad mood and it's republicans and christians fault. I think I'm gonna make it my life goal to eradicate both of those groups from Oklahoma, they have done so much damage to so many and it's all on record so no one can argue that they're good people.

ICE has kidnapped one of my MN News Guild siblings

Some people keep telling me that there are "good cops" and "bad cops" and the good cops are on our side, against the bad cop. Then I ask them: why are the good cops not arresting the bad cops? And then I get refusals to engage with the question in any way. Interesting? 🤔

Does anyone have at least $25 right now so I can order food? 🍱

MSN, Politico, and a plethora of other news outlets: "Democrats are in negotiations to fund ICE in 2026." Rosa de Lauro was explicitly named in several. Yet if someone posts about it, they get trolls like this.

🚨NEWS: Senate Dems are reportedly offering ICE funding increases in exchange for body cams and de-escalation training for agents. Body cams can be turned off. De-escalation training can be ignored. Unclear if no masks, requiring ID badges, and no immunity is on the table.

I got the sweetest, saddest email from Maria, who is trying to raise just $850 to pay her rent because her family is not able to leave the house for their own safety. We gotta help that cute baby.

I guess we’re just gonna have to make a new Wikipedia

Damned fools

Did they forget the point of Wikipedia? apnews.com/article/wiki...

More money for public transportation, less money for cops.

If they aren't an attorney, why are they so very sure that a journalist can't do journalism without committing multiple felonies? This *is* the US and I suppose they could mean this isn't a free country.

They aren't an attorney, but they could have been

People frequently make some attempt to ask "but what about the good cops?!" I am skeptical of people's faith in good cops for one simple reason, which I will express as a question. If the good cops can save us, why aren't they already arresting the bad cops? 🤔

What matters is that people are ready to realize how pathetic Gavin Newsom is now. Thank you!

Fascism is here bc we turned our backs on the vulnerable when told pandemic is over when it’s not. Fascists saw how most are OK letting disabled, chronically ill, elderly & kids “fall by the wayside”, showed them they could hurt anyone to take everything. Not too late to turn it around. Solidarity✊😷

The enormous support which the 15,000 strong nurses strike in New York City has received in the working class in the city, nationally and internationally, continues to grow.

i strongly suspect they can't bc some system somewhere is broken and more than half of Ed's staff is gone either that or they know just how many people at risk of wage garnishment filed paperwork to start payments months ago but Ed hasn't processed it bc more than half the staff is gone

So the very next day we marched away And the mile posts we kept countin But we never did arrive at the lemony tide of the big rock candy mountain.

stuck at 40/164

Just another way to try and be helpful— if you are in another place where ICE decides to ramp up and would like to create a resource like standwithminnesota.com for your state, let me know and we can clone the site and set you up to get started.

Gotta look at @mayor.nyc.gov for the greatest political upset in modern history, to paraphrase @sanders.senate.gov.

Locally we have the Panther Party ❤️ www.instagram.com/tppsandiego/...

Because they have gotten away with it the last few elections? How's that worked out?

Or even CIA and the military for torture. Or prosecuted ICE in 2014 the first time they started killing people because they were annoyed.

Maybe we should have prosecuted the bankers for their crimes.

When push comes to shove, Newsom protects Billionaires & he cannot be trusted to run for POTUS. Ever.

Then we have to ask the question: Why does Gavin Newsom think that rich donors, and not party rank and file voters, will pick the 2028 nominee? 🤔

This is what you do when you think rich donors will pick the 2028 nominee and not the party’s base btw

What matters is that people are ready to realize how pathetic Gavin Newsom is now. Thank you!

Oh, sorry, Gavin Newsom is even more pathetic than I’d realized

But he didn't get an invitation to Ben Shapiro's podcast. Gavin Newsom sought Ben Shapiro out for Newsom's podcast, then got bulldozed on his own turf. It's far, far more pathetic than going on Shapiro's podcast.

Oil companies have much more power in the West, apparently, than they do in developing countries that are not petro states. And I am sure the oil companies think alternative energy in the developing world means more oil for the West.

John's newsletters are excellent. I highly recommend signing up for his newsletters. And sometimes even forwarding them to those people in your life - who, although sick all the time, think you're out to lunch for still masking -

My wife left her bag on the MTA yesterday and today… it was at lost and found! Somebody actually went through the trouble. Given how absolute shit things are, this was an unexpected kindness. I credit the good feelings engendered by the Mamdani administration. :) Also the good people at the MTA.

Everything Elon Musk touches explodes. Space X, Twitter, Tesla.

Exactly but only one branch of the terrorists. The US military, every PD, and all of the US government are terrorists
