Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

They’re gonna stuff ballot boxes from the past as a rationale to take control of ballot boxes in the future.
So my connect the dots here is that there will be some allegation that there was foreign interference in the voting — Hugo Chavez, Italian satellites, etc. — (hence why DNI is involved), making it a nat sec issue that they will use to justify doing something crazy/illegal in Nov
“.. U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard speaks on the phone while standing inside a vehicle loaded with boxes outside the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center after the FBI executed a search warrant there.”

Raskin: ICE and CBP — these are not law enforcement entities, and at this point they’re completely lawless. They’re outside of the Constitution.

using federal resources to illegally seize the goods of another country and then diverting the proceeds to accounts only the president can control is the kind of thing the framers would’ve seen these men hanged for

this is a straightforward impeachable offense for trump, vance, rubio and every other person down the line who enabled it and the framers would have thought impeachment for it did not go nearly far enough
Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.'"

It is wild to me that a military incursion to steal another country’s resources so the president can have a personal slush fund in Qatar is like the 5th most scandalous thing currently happening.

Notable that a DHS spokesperson told NBC the Border Patrol agents who killed Pretti were from BORTAC. As with military SOF units that have committed abuses, lack of training isn’t that unit’s problem—failure of discipline and accountability mechanisms is what to look at.
Alex Pretti's killing was recorded on body-camera videos, DHS says
Investigators are reviewing videos of the shooting from multiple angles, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told NBC News.

HUGE news! This is about a Trump admin effort to arrest thousands of screened and vetted refugees in Minnesota and fly them to Texas to be jailed and then interrogated.
After the interrogation is over, people are being dumped on the street and told to find their own way back.

one of the agents said “okay we know” when we were whistling so i leaned in and whistled louder and he threatened to pepper spray me. i then said “are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” and he very meekly said “no i’m not scared of a whistle”

not an accident that habeas corpus is one of the absolute foundational rights--and not an accident that ICE is working overtime to undermine it as much as possible
Excellent explanation of how ICE moves immigrants from one prison facility to another to deny them access to justice.

If you can't petition the government to let them know why they are holding you and give you an audience with someone about your detention, do you have -other- civil liberties? If they don't need to ever tell you -why- they are detaining you, are you ever free at all

We are going to have to substantially liberalize immigration for the simple reason that ICE and CBP are threats to our own democracy and national security.
You simply can't do highly coercive mass enforcement of immigration laws in the interior without threatening everyone's freedom now.

Guys maybe the number one obstacle to organizing here in Minneapolis is the unfounded fear that if you get involved, DHS will put you on a list and assassinate you. It leads people to avoid organizing or act in ways that are completely detrimental to organizing. Please please do not spread that fear
