I have a coworker and a friend who is a legal resident. He just renewed his work visa last summer. But he has brown skin and an accent, and every day, I worry the Gestapo will abduct him. I'm pinning this for my own future but hopefully unnecessary reference.

🚨🚨🚨ICE agents have criminal backgrounds including domestic violence and battery. Many have not had any background checks or fingerprints taken. Well, this is 100% consistent with what we are seeing on the streets of America.

Thanks so much for posting this!

Prop 50 must pass!
Texas, Missouri and North Carolina have erased Democratic Congressional districts and now Kansas, Utah, Louisiana, Indiana and Ohio are trying to do likewise. They are trying to make our country a dictatorship with 1 party rule!

So... their whole legal theory is based on the work of an influential Nazi.

Fuck.

If you think my words are too harsh on #Felon voters, let me add a quote from the king of all idiots.

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

Do you think I’d explain my masterstroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I made the NYPD woke 35 minutes ago.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

As I've noted, central to Stephen Miller's propaganda is the claim that the Chicago complex targeted by ICE was "filled" with Tren de Aragua "terrorists."

Now @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social reports that the number of TdA members netted in that raid is down to *one.*

⚠️ Warning: these back-to-back scenes are hard to watch unless you’ve got a depraved heart.

These are thugs, not officers with any real training. We keep seeing it again and again, and at this point, it’s clearly the op.
