I've covered ICE / DHS for about a decade now and more ICE agents are willing to talk now than ever before. The confidence the administration is trying to project is absolutely not reflected internally.

Get involved locally, seek out and build bonds with the people around you, learn their names, check in with them, lend a hand when needed. I can't stress enough how much they dread the trust and strength that can be found in community.

There is no reforming the level of rot going on here. Even ICE knows that, or they wouldn't be hiding this.
🚨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.

If they had the capacity to do this, it would be really bad. And they probably will try to do a couple of high profile examples to make you think they *do* have the capacity. But like a lot of stuff, this is a memo designed to get you to voluntarily stop doing stuff they don’t like.

A Brazilian trans woman, in the US legally under asylum, has been taken and disappeared by ICE.

Nothing creepy and mysogynistic about this at all.

Trans people are worth protecting. Not because we are amazing people (although we are) or because we offer a great deal to society (although we do) or because we are fine as hell (we are). We are worth protecting because we are HUMAN BEINGS, and it’s amazing how often that simple fact is forgotten.

If you think Gavin Newsom is fighting fascism because his comms people post, but the encampment protesters last year were out of line, or Black Lives Matter protesters went too far, or anti-ICE protesters were wrong because they flew Mexican flags, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT FIGHTING FASCISM LOOKS LIKE.

In regards to The Topic Of The Day, one of the greater tragedies of genAI is that it sweeps under the rug just how many pursuits/projects that artists bounce off of before they find The One.
GenAI sells the promise of effortless mastery and leaves you with the empty feeling of "that's it?"

I’m very slowly waking up to the reality how the only nonviolent way out of this situation requires a form of mass deprogramming that doesn’t actually exist.
While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused.
Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right?
Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

Listening to Jeffries, you'd almost think Cuomo was the party nom.
The correct response is: "Mamdani is the people's choice for mayor of NYC. Cuomo should have raised these concerns during the campaign. Running as an independent is disrespectful of the vote and we should not give him more airtime."
