So which politician is calling for the dismantling of the probably illegal database that ice & this government is collecting biometric data of protesters?

Ah so the people with guns get to be anonymous but the people actually protecting others get fed to the right wing harassment machine, is that it? bsky.app/profile/dbra...
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

Bovino is not enough. Steven Miller & Secretary Noem are complicit in the murder of a patriotic American citizen, who they disgustingly slandered as an “assassin” and a “domestic terrorist.” Resign, get fired, or face impeachment. They both need to go. Now.

I know some of my followers don’t like it when Republicans and Trump rampage across the country and then I mention Dems quickly but… there are quite a few powerful Dems basically seeking to give Trump an off ramp right now.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Let me chime in here and say David French can't see anything but white, and he still needs to repent for helping evangelicals come to power with republicans.
@hebagowayed.bsky.social and I started a newsletter we hope works as a corrective to mainstream discussions of race (or the lack thereof). In the first post, I reply to David French, arguing that the US legal system has always been ”dual” for nonwhites. Jim Crow and Immigration policy are examples.
David French argued Renee Good's murder is an example of the US having two sytems of law: orderly for friends & belligerent for foes. @victorerikray.bsky.social corrects him: US law has always promised fascism for non-whites & those who stand with them.

ICE is riddled with sex criminals.
A January 2026 report by the Pacific Antifascist Research Collective identified 30 ICE and CBP agents with documented convictions and arrests, some for serious violent and sexual crimes.
At least 20 committed offenses with underage victims.
