I think we need to be saying, out loud, this:

If we sense that the elections in November have been stolen, it will be assumed by loyal Americans to be suspension of the U.S. Constitution and a declaration of civil war.

NEW: Pro-voting advocates are furious over Republicans’ newly unveiled MEGA Act, a sweeping proposal to dramatically restrict voting access.

Top Democratic lawmakers swore the bill, which is rooted in conspiracy theories over facts, would be “dead-on-arrival.”
Top Dems: GOP's monster voter suppression bill is ‘dead on arrival'
Voting rights experts warned that the proposal would disenfranchise millions of eligible voters.

Congressional Republicans unveiled their new “MEGA Act” bill, which could:

❌Impose strict voter ID requirements to vote
❌Create a centralized voter surveillance system in every state
❌Ban universal mail voting
❌And much more

The kicker? These changes would happen all at once.
New GOP anti-voting bill may be the most dangerous attack on voting rights ever
The MEGA Act represents one of the most catastrophic proposals for democracy in the United States.

Perhaps the ultimate deal should be that after any "reforms" are *permanently* codified, ICE funding would be appropriated from now on a *biweekly* (or at most monthly) basis so that Congress will hold a fiscal Sword of Damocles over the agency ....

They arrested journalists before they did anything substantial to the ICE agents who executed American citizens.
4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government.

Oh, it's *very clear* what's going on here.

Same reason Temu Goebbels Miller wants black & brown folks on the protest front lines — to open fire. He was upset people that looked like him rose up in response to ICE terror.

So the regime's now hitting the black journo front lines.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that all four people arrested today, including two journalists, were Black.

And now we find out the charge is “conspiracy to violate civil rights,” a statute rooted in the Ku Klux Klan Act.

Sit with that.

The people demand not one more dollar for ICE. We demand not on more agent hired to terrorize our communities.

We say: Abolish ICE and dismantle DHS!

On the train through Silicon Valley and the last two stations were mobbed by high school students protesting ICE. Good to see...
Silicon Valley too... I know our local HS had a walk out today.
Schools all over the city, public and private, are walking out today.

It has made me happy seeing so many restaurants in my area posting fuck ICE type messages and fundraising for immigrant justice groups and mutual aid. Food service workers know perhaps better than anyone how vital immigrants are to our country.

Canadians horrified by what ICE is doing should realize the RCMP uses the same tactics domestically against Indigenous people and yet barely anyone speaks up.

Journalists have been arrested just for trying to cover it
Carol Linnitt, co-founder and editor-in-chief, provides an update on The Narwhal’s court case against the RCMP. Amber Bracken finished cross-examination late Jan. 28. It took more than 12 hours.

Citizen in an unknown location puts ICE-hole in his place for trying to escalate the situation.
He mistakenly thinks these people have 6 weeks of training; they only get 47 days.

ICE has been in the northwest Bronx for the last 2 days, in and around Van Cortlandt Park/the end of the 1 train. To the west of the park is Riverdale, which is one of the richer, whiter neighborhoods in the city. Whistles are blowing.

Don't think ICE won't come to your hood because they will.

ICE agents think they’re above the law. They’re not.

@repdangoldman.bsky.social and I just dropped the ICE OUT Act to end their immunity.
