I'm just a working-class left-of-center leaning guy (in a very red-state) who pays close attention to national and international political news and events. Normally pretty laid back, but what's happening these days isn't even close to normal.

These 10 companies stand to rake in $1 billion by 2027 by helping ICE track down and round up immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

ICE has awarded a contract to Constellis Holdings, the successor to the notorious mercenary firm Blackwater.

The contract is for "skip tracing" to hunt down 1.5 million immigrants—and offering bounties for their locations.

Using whatever surveillance tools they want—no badges, no oversight.

ICE is spying on all of us using a whole host tools that use our phones and social media accounts against us. Whether you are undocumented or a citizen posting opposition to ICE, they are gathering data about you (and me) and use our phones to geolocate us at any time.

After the assassination of Melissa Hortman it’s not hard to understand why a woman in Minnesota would be afraid of a man in a mask who says he’s a cop.

If the grand jury returns indictments, Cannon would be in a position to oversee trials of people Trump has long targeted for retaliation."

It's no secret that ICE has been using "Stingray" cell site simulators for tracking and geolocating phones (your local PD is probably using them too FWIW).

If you are an undocumented person carrying a smartphone that is registered in your name, they can know who you are and see where you are.

Morning protest in one city, then an afternoon one in another city nearby. Rain plagued both events, but turnout was surprisingly large at both for both of our small red-state cities. Turns out these inflatable costumes are extremely light rain friendly (strong winds not-so-much tho).

My dad spent >35 years in the Army, serving in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. From private to colonel and laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery.

He was a staunch republican, but he wouldn't recognize his party today.

There never was nor will ever be a more anti-fascist American than my dad.

It seems the Republican Party has a serious Nazi problem.

When you spend so much effort trying to paint anti-fascists as terrorists, is it surprising that you attract all of the fascists to your Party?

Don't want to leave out the girlfriend of Peter Giunta, the "I Love Hitler" posting NY Rep's Chief of Staff. She served on the NY State Young Republicans and National Women’s Republican Club boards, who reportedly is a high school counselor.

IDK, but sure wouldn't want her at my kid's school.

And then there's this NY Young Republicans general counsel and now former NY State Unified Court System Employee.

Do you believe that those who know him did Nazi that coming?

Don't let anyone try to say these were just a bunch of kids making jokes. A sitting VT State Senator, the Chief of Staff for a NY State Rep, and the Communications guy for KS Attorney General Kris Kobach (R).

These aren't kids. This is the new face of today's GOP.
