I love that Colbert is using the his final days on the evil CBS/Paramount to interview and promote organizers, scholars and activists taking on Trump and authoritarianism. It’s very satisfying.

They’re not police. They’re not law enforcement. And if your fear of reining them in comes from mistaking them for law enforcement, you need to get over it.
ICE never got a kitten down from a tree. ICE never helped a little old lady cross the street. They have no positive tradition to stand on.

Nothing complicated or subtle or hard to understand about what is happening:
-"forcibly entered homes without a judge’s warrant"
-"interrogated people because of their ethnicity or accents"
-"broke windows and dragged occupants from their cars"
-"used force on people who were already restrained"

Healey: Whether it’s ballrooms, or masked agents, or attacks on Europe and Greenland…This is not normal. It’s not normal to have somebody who acts like a two-year-old throwing a tantrum. On any given day, we don’t know what he’s going to do.
This shouldn’t be normalized. It’s not right.

I am begging the so-called leaders of the Democrats to keep their eye on the fucking ball.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was disappointed after nearly half of the House Oversight Committee’s Democrats voted to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress for defying subpoenas in its Jeffrey Epstein investigation. And on Thursday, she let them know it. https://cnn.it/45qxY8B
