If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Die einst - vor Bezos Übernahme - angesehen Zeitung The Washington Post entlässt jeden 3. Mitarbeiter. Schließt u.a. das Ukraine-Büro. "Democracy dies in Darkness" war das Motto- nun eher "Democracy dies in brought daylight". By the way- Die Melania-Doku hat 40 Mio $ Bestechung gekostet.

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Ich teile diesen Geschenklink aus der @nytimes.com, damit für alle klar ist, dass die Tötung von Alex Pretti durch ICE Agents nichts anderes als eine Hinrichtung eines unschuldigen Demonstranten war.

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded (Gift Article)
A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

Weil hier in Deutschland gerne - oft nicht ganz passende - Vergleiche zur NS-Geschichte gezogen werden, wenn es um das Vorgehen von ICE geht: In den USA weisen vor allem Schwarze Historiker*innen darauf hin, dass sich hier noch eine ganz andere Kontinuität zeigt: Zu den Slave Catchern der 18050er
The Tactics Boston Used Against Slave Catchers in the 1850's Offer Lessons for Resisting ICE Deportations Now
As federal agents deploy to Minneapolis after fatal ICE shootings, the antebellum abolitionist movement reveals what happens when communities refuse to comply with unjust laws.

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

ICE is building a Palantir database of "state enemies" and "left wing terrorists" for sure
kenklippenstein.bsky.social Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein.bsky.social · 13d
ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

So, a $1bn payout from the ‘frozen’ assets that the US holds (aka Trump), to pay Trump for the chaos he’s created in the West.

Doesn’t sound like a payment for destroying the US and NATO at all, does it? 👀

ICE hat ein 5jähriges Kind, das vom Kindergarten nach Hause kam, gekidnappt, um den Vater nach draußen zu locken und auch ihn mitzunehmen.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)
From Senator Chris McDaniel: “Lately, some folks have taken to calling ICE “the Gestapo.” It sounds fierce. It feels righteous. But it isn’t true, and it isn’t harmless. The Gestapo was a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything. The knock on the door was the sentence. ICE isn’t that. Not even close. ICE is a public agency enforcing laws passed by elected officials. Its agents file reports. They seek warrants. They lose cases. Judges stop them. Lawyers challenge them. Some detainees go home. That’s not tyranny. That’s bureaucracy, for better and worse. You can hate immigration policy. You can argue enforcement is too harsh, too sloppy, or too broad. You can work to have the law changed if you wish. That’s a republic doing what it’s supposed to do. But when you call ordinary law enforcement “the Gestapo,” you cheapen real evil. You turn history into a slogan and suffering into a metaphor. And once every badge is tyranny, no tyranny is left to recognize. In Mississippi, I was raised to believe words should earn their weight. This one hasn't yet. It throws around the language of dictatorship while living under a system where courts still rule, lawyers still argue, and the government still loses. That difference matters. Because the day enforcement becomes secret, unchecked, and answerable to no one, we won’t need to borrow names from history. We’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with. And we’ll wish we’d kept our words honest.”
