Tim Walz wants the gestapo to do their kidnappings in the middle of the night, under cover of darkness.
That's his fucking solution.

"I'm gonna give Homan the benefit of the doubt"
"They should coordinate with local law enforcement, pick these people up in the middle of the night when they're not suspecting it"
Walz is capitulating to fascists and encouraging night raids. Genuinely disgusting. Why would anyone settle for this?

Couple things:
1) an awful lot of these Nazis arresting people for having an accent... have an accent.
2) dude is openly threatening to murder a man if he gets loud.
3) there's no reforming this.

Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.
Why is the msm outside of Maine not covering this? It seems like a huge and very troubling story to me. ICE coming to observers houses or calling them on the phone warning them to back off??!! www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

I'm reminded of the fact that nobody knew how bad the German camps were until the day they were liberated, and most people didn't know even for the first decade or so because the media was slow to report about it.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

Americans must be eyes wide open that blocking the DHS funding bill will not shut down ICE.
ICE is now sitting on a massive slush fund it can tap, whether or not we pass a funding bill.

I will NOT support the DHS bill as it stands.
The DHS bill needs to be split off from the larger funding package before the Senate—Republicans must work with us to do that.
I’ll keep fighting to rein in DHS and ICE.

The kind of person who still works for ICE at this point is irredeemable.
Anyone with a functioning conscience would have left by now, and none of them have any excuses left.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

I think Trump makes more sense when you realize he's a living eidolon - an empty space where a person ought to be.
He's a living vacuum, a black hole of omnidirectional cravings with no substance, constitutionally incapable of satisfaction.
His only defining feature is taking.
