Californian/Texan. Medical industry. Appalled but trying to spread the truth. Be good to yourself and others. Always defend those who need help. Anti-fascist.
Make a difference today. Do something that shows love and fights evil.
More than a year in this has mostly gone as I feared, and in some ways has been worse. But there have been two contrasting surprises:

-- The speed and breadth of institutional capitulation

-- The courage, ferocity, and resolution of regular people

Our strength isn't our institutions. It's us.

When racists killed Mickey Schwerner, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman in 1964, they burned their station wagon but left it just off a road where it was easily found.

When racists killed Viola Liuzzo, they advertised her shot-up car for sale, promoting it as a possible tourist attraction.
ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.
A legal asylum-seeker who works at Chipotle and plays music at a church in Maine went missing. His pastor searched and searched, eventually finding his abandoned car with the keys on the floor.

ICE grabbed him. No criminal record. No explanation.

“ICE has to obey laws” unless nobody enforces the law.
Video shows ICE leaving behind an infant and broken glass after arresting a man with no criminal history.
“There was a car seat in the back... There were broken glass shards all over it... There was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying.”

BREAKING: As Trump transformed an immigration database into a tool to scrutinize voter rolls, newly unearthed comments show a prominent election denial activist was already claiming inside access to the effort — and touting a potential partnership with the Department of Homeland Security.
Leading election denier claimed DHS ‘wants to partner with us’ on voter roll checks. Now he’s a top official there
Comments from Phillips at the time suggest True the Vote, which has repeatedly pushed for access to federal data, also was working with DHS officials.

I keep hearing the same argument from MAGA:

"What about all the citizens murdered by illegals".

Then get a warrant and go arrest them!

Don't patrol the streets terrorizing everyone, arresting children at schools and US citizens because you don't know who to arrest. See the difference?

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...
ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested
There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.

This would be a MAJOR win for Dems. Getting them to separate DHS out of the six-bill funding package means a shutdown wouldn’t risk Head Start, SSI payments, Section 8, NIH, etc. Four days ago, I doubt this would have worked. But with republicans’ backs against the wall, it seems within reach.
Latest intel: The 5 govt funding bills will pass, & the 6th, the DHS bill, will get a continuing resolution to buy time to negotiate whatever these conditions in ICE are. The fight right now btwn Schumer & the White House is how long that CR will be. The WH wants 3 months; Schumer wants 1-2 weeks.

I hope Georgia sues to get their ballots back like trump sued to get his classified documents back. But I think Georgia would win.

"Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely."

"I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room"
-- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."
