The Republic has fallen. What stands in its place is a shell—hollow, corrupt, and unaccountable. I’m here to witness, record, and resist.

Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling on ICE: "They are an undisciplined militia and the leadership is awful...This is not policing and it's not military service. It's something dangerously undefined."

ICE and CBP showing up in face masks and body armor.
9mm handguns. AR-15-style rifles.
Pepper spray. Stun grenades.

Protesters showing up with signs and whistles.
Chants. Donuts. Handkerchiefs.
Conviction. Each other.

Who is the braver?

if you believe Trump will investigate the murder of Alex Pretti, then you’ll believe he’ll release the Epstein files unredacted

Things breaking down at the content creator administration the way you'd expect. Not fired perpetrating systemic crimes but for getting owned on Twitter.

I call my senators / congresswoman often.
It's my duty, and it's not difficult *at all*. What's actually difficult about it is pushing through my resentment.
These are folks I pay *really well* to be decent.
And I resent having to PLEAD with them to do be decent.
It makes me feel crazy.

Anonymous has been DDoSing companies associated with ICE in defence of the people of the US and Minneapolis, the campaign has been sporadic and decentralized. Others are working on anti surveillance firmware and spreading information. #3E

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.

One thing [redacted] learned in the 1950s is you never never forget the Martyrs. Make sure these Nazis hear it every day.
If this doesn’t tug at your heart, make you well up with sadness, you are not human.

Let's get so loud about this that Congress has no choice but to impeach Kristi Noem:

New name for Noem just dropped “Sicko Fan”
DHS can and will never be run by a Sicko fan.
Now I want to know which CNN reporter or producer doesn't know the word "sycophant."

If you didn’t call your senators already to demand a no on tomorrow’s funding vote, what’s stopping you from doing it today?

Even when they show signs of weakness or forced regret, we must not give an inch. Authoritarian governments still respond to public opinion, which is why sustained pressure matters. We have to keep making clear that these thuggish actions are unconscionable and will not be tolerated. Don’t let up.

The Battle of LA, Portland, Chicago, won. The Battle of Minneapolis is looking to be a win too. Your whistles, signs and demonstrations of displeasure with this administration will bring them down. Keep fighting. We’ll fight them to Washington DC.
Border Patrol commander Bovino and some agents plan to leave Minneapolis, sources say
Gregory Bovino, a public face of Trump's immigration crackdown, will leave Tuesday, while some agents plan to leave sometime this week, sources told NBC News.

The woman who survived five gunshots from a Border Patrol agent in Chicago last fall, only to be criminally charged and then cleared, now wants a judge’s permission to share records that show how the feds respond when “their agents use deadly force against U.S. citizens.”

Great. Everything is so fucked that somehow I agree with Greenwald.

He nails it here, though.

Let's make it lower. We are being effective and all we are doing is holding signs and screaming at them. Never doubt.

At Target Driveup only White employees are now bringing groceries to my car. Last week Feds abducted nearby Target citizen employees. I’m sure non-White workers are afraid to show up everywhere. (My partner & I are helping a family afraid to come out of their home. This arrangement is common)

Why aren’t politicians more honest in their speech. Right wing populists are, they say what they’ll do and then the progressive left are surprised when they do it. The left continues to mince its words or preach to the converted and equate membership or mass meeting to votes…wake the fuck up.

I don't like shaming people too much for being slow on the uptake, but seeing people say *now* that the USA is broken beyond repair is... Interesting. But I do also think there's an important distinction to be made.
