We're moving into the end game. The fascists are not pretending at all. The takeover is near to complete. No accountability means that there are no legal means to make change.
The only non-violent response that we have left would be a general strike.

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building.
Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.
The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

Jesus fuck. These psychos are heavily armed, and have been granted unlimited immunity. Even if that immunity is nothing but JD Vance spouting off like a deranged whale, *they* heard it, and they will *believe* it.
I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

That there are people interpreting even *this* as her being anything other than peaceful blows my fucking mind.

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

At this point, we need to start organizing large scale strikes, not just protests. The Republicans have made it very clear that they're largely immune to public opinion. If Walz manages to activate to National Guard in Minnesota, that will also be a step in the right direction.

Reposting this again because the animation makes it clear that Jonathan Ross put himself in that position on purpose.
Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

Some fucking "both sides" twatwaffle was whining about how calling the death of Renee Good murder is "divisive" and "unhelpful."
So, here's a clue: There's a line between self defense and murder. It was clearly crossed. And you're on the wrong fucking side of it.

"Fatshaming is good for fat people actually" is trying to be a shithead with a righteous backbone and it doesn't work.

This is illegal! The Trump administration is instructing managers across the federal government (regardless of employee performance) to ensure that at least 80 percent of staff receive a 3 out of 5 rating, making them easier to terminate and easier to justify in court.
