Just a reminder. ICE is a terrorist organization funded by us. The IDF is a terrorist organization funded by us. As of today, we have both terrorist organizations actively terrorizing us.

The raid, involving cyber-crime officers, represents a dramatic escalation of an investigation that began in January 2025.

ICE terrorists deserve to be picked up. They deserve to be handcuffed. They deserve to be detained. They deserve to be taken into to be booked and processed. They deserve to sit in a cell for hours and then let go. Do that for two months at random. ICE will then leave in droves like unwanted crows!

Being arrested is getting grabbed against your will. It is being handcuffed. It is being led away or perp-walked as we call it. It is being detained against your will. An arrest is an action. You can be arrested and detained for years without getting formally charged with an offense. (Cont)

You can't tell me an Isntreal terrorism alliance with ICE doesn't exist. I just listened to a politician on #AmandasMildTakes who said that local police can't arrest ICE terrorists. That is completely bullshit. Police literally can arrest anyone for anything! The SC gives them that right. (Cont)

The leadership in Minnesota goes from the protesters in the ground to Ilhan Omar. Then it stops. The white men in charge cosplay bravery but secretly negotiate with the ICE terrorists destroying their state. Instead of listening to the victims or the celebrities at the Grammys, they bow to Trump.

The only domestic terrorist organizations operating in our country are @ice.gov and the MAGA henchmen running interference for them.

Whomever the Democratic nominee for Senate is in Texas they'll be leagues better that the Republican nominee, and they'll require our support.

That said, I've donated to Jasmine Crockett in the primary.

This result in the Texas one kind of blow me away because they only really seem possible in a world where there is massive, unprecedented persuasion or the GOP just decided not to turn out at all
well then it hasn’t been a very successful one

Trump's talking about nationalizing elections & Republicans are trying to attach the vote-restricting SAFE Act to the budget deal all because they got humiliated in a special election in Texas and would rather respond like this than adjust their policies.

Apparently there was a city meeting in Hutchins, Texas, tonight. Hutchins is the location of DHS's newly announced 10,000-person concentration camp. What I've been told is that city officials were unanimously and adamantly opposed to it.

Unfortunately, I'm seeing this nowhere online.

As we witness Project 2025 near 50% implementation across the United States gov’t, it is sadly quite clear that without Black innovation and leadership, they are plainly ill-equipped to defeat the Christian White Nationalist overhaul—which, mind you, rigs future elections.

No coming back from this.

📌The DNC is trailing the RNC by $100 million in fundraising right now, yet Democrats are winning elections everywhere, including Texas.

People, not parties are handling this, and it's about fucking time.

There is a case to be made that any board of a university that signed an agreement that required paying a fee has breached their fiduciary duty and I think somebody should explore it
The Trump administration is no longer trying to get cash from Harvard as it seeks a settlement. At this point, the White House seems happy to get a signature on anything they can call a compact.

Chump actually called them “patriot warriors,” acknowledging they are not really ice.
They are breaking the law more than enforcing it.
Abduct quickly, keep in custody if you can get away with it. That is what’s happening.

Congress members must visit these facilities under armed escort from the city's police force or vetted Government-hired security. ICE terrorists are ignoring inspections and visits with physical force.

BREAKING: Judge Jia Cobb issues a TRO blocking DHS Sec Noem's Jan 8 memo purporting to require 7-day notices by members of Congress to perform oversight visits to immigration detention facilities.

The effect is that congressional oversight visits are allowed on request, as is required by Sec. 527.

lol I find it kind of weird that people are trying to police how Black people in America show their appreciation for Black America during Black History Month. Like no one is taking ownership of a month that clearly doesn't belong to them.

I'll probably delete this but like that's weird.
