Homeland Security doesn’t like it when we call ICE and Border Patrol “the Gestapo.”
So let’s set the Gestapo aside. Instead I’ll use this thread to compare Trump’s thugs to other secret police and terror squads from different times and places. It’s tyranny, no matter where it comes from. 1/10🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵

I just watched ICE drag off a Black man after they overpowered him appeared to strangle him and then they thew him in the back of a pickup truck full of good ole boys.
In Minnesota. In 2026.
It's a modern day lynching, in public, by our federal government.

I don’t care if the man had a gun. By all accounts he was disarmed & on the ground when he was shot 5 times.
You don’t get to shoot people unarmed on the ground point blank 5 times. I know this sounds crazy under fascism but standards for law enforcement should be higher not lower than civilians!

You don't impede investigation, tamper with the crime scene, disappear witnesses, and confiscate footage when you feel your paramilitary's act of execution was legal and morally justified
It's not just one murder that needs to be prosecuted here.
It's an entire criminal conspiracy.

Witnesses are being taken to Whipple.
From a lawyer friend: “They’re trying to keep local PD and BCA from getting statements and confiscating any phones with video.”

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

My God. On or about 1/20/26, Trump signed an Executive Order to bring back insane asylums. On 1/21/26, Katie Miller (wife of Stephen Miller) wrote that “They should be insane asylums, not shelters” in response to a Pirate Wires article criticizing a shelter for trans & gender confused people. 1/
