ICE definitely around the Valley today. Confirmations at the Walmart at 67th Ave and Peoria within the last few hours (I’m hearing they just left). If you spot ICE, you can call the Migra Watch Hotline at (480) 506-7437 to report the tip and verified info will quickly get dispersed to the community.

This short thread lays out the critical nature of this political moment in terms of the violent trajectory of right-wing radicalization. It’s intense but important.
Everything that was promoted by the “Alt-Right” in 2016 is now mainstream Republican policy.

Just to put into perspective how far the Overton window has shifted.

The Trump Justice Department has reversed a Biden-era policy that provided protections to journalists in leak investigations — paving the way for authorities to once again use subpoenas and compel testimony from reporters in probes targeting leakers.

Awhile back I skeeted that most of what the regime is doing can be classified into four major buckets:

1) They are lying to you

2) They are stealing from you

3) They are killing you

4) They are killing the Constitution

This is a whopper of a no. 4👇🏽

Lol this is absolutely delicious. Trans Women get all of the vitriol because of misogyny. People don’t even consider Trans Men (even in the sports convos) & the idea blows ppl’s minds. Also… kids in schools don’t care about any of this. It’s their parents who are being weird about it.
This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

the last few days has been a reminder that people really want to believe that not only is there this real thing called a “criminal,” and that if they need to, anyone can just prove they aren’t one
do people not realize that the past four decades of US policing legislation PR and practice have made the allegation that someone is a “gang member” entirely subject to the whims of the state

Fun fact: individuals can file a complaint with the International Criminal Court to demand that an investigation commence into whether crimes against humanity have been committed on a member state territory (here, El Salvador, by the US).

Anyone (hint hint) can file right here:

Americans have to ask themselves where is the Red Line? Where is the tipping point? Is it not the Executive openly defying an order from the Judiciary? FOTUS is refusing to return an unlawfully imprisoned man in defiance of a SCOTUS order.

This is dangerous.
