Absolutely correct. Government representatives in a democracy should not be anonymous, much less sinister.
I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.
It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

Video on social media shows an immigration agent pulling a gun in Little Village and holding it to the side — which is not an appropriate or safe way to hold a gun. (Among other issues.)

The tentacles of a racist government reach across the ocean
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Polls show that overwhelming majorities of Americans support programs to eliminate hunger, including SNAP. Republican leaders are turning the GOP into the party of hunger. Doesn’t seem like a good electoral strategy.

Unfortunately, that is the flawed product of wishful thinking, @fridaghitis.bsky.social writes.

There’s a high risk that politicians, parties and activists will take the wrong lessons from the election results.
In the age of plutocracy, with billionaires demanding trillion-dollar contracts, prices climbing for everyone, and democracy eroding, listening to the people’s most direct needs is a winning formula in functioning democracies.
