for better or worse, people will forget about that video by the end of the year, if not end of the month. but when trump finally kicks the bucket, there were be orgasmic celebrations across the US & around the world. he will be remembered as the most despised US president since WWII for generations

Another way to think of this is that Trump's public and egregious displays of racism are like him handing out free "racism goggles" to his fellow Americans. Some won't put them on, but many will...and when they do, they can suddenly "see" stuff like Haitians eating pets, "illegals" voting, etc.

“We need to get better at treating this like a business…like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings.” — ICE director Todd Lyons, April 2025
The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago

1) @unraveledpress.com does great work.

2) These agents, as well as the ones who executed Renee Good and Alex Pretti, are DHS / CBP / BORTAC / ICE veterans with years of experience.

They do not need “more training.” They’ve had plenty. Their actions are a policy choice.

i say this with love because everyone starts somewhere, but it's just that, sometimes you see someone with a massive platform and they're like "it kind of seems like republicans favor the rich?"

Holy shit, this is so true.
one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

If a university student group had celebrated Charlie Kirk being killed, complete with a graphic made from an actual picture of the killing, the whole lot of them would have been expelled before the ink on the digital story was dry.

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE.

Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.

The Trump admin is doing crossovers now. Like when the guys from Simon & Simon went on Magnum PI. But this one is measles and child prisons, so… that’s cool.

This rules so hard. In law school I remember people who wanted to be federal prosecutors spending three years doing everything they could to be maybe, possibly be competitive for an AUSA job someday. Now you just need to hop on X the everything app and DM a guy named Chad.

“‘Abolish ICE’ = ‘Defund The Police’” comes from a place of fear and ignorance.

DfTP emerged at a time when local cops were (mostly) killing Black people. Many swing voters think that’s the natural order of things.

Today, ICE is killing white normies. So people hear “Abolish ICE” much differently.
