“Impeding” is the belief that white* men can do what they want without any opposition, and any opposition, no matter how lawful, safe, nor interfering, is impeding their will.

Fucking wusses.

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.”

For these Americans, that wasn’t true.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Yep. We’re hurtling toward catastrophe and Trump stomps on the (leaded) gas.
There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.

The interesting thing about ICE and CBP blatant lies is that it has normie people questioning what other law enforcement lies like this on the regular.

It has shattered a lot of the deference people had.

Dear @nytimes.com,

When you say "gave wrong information," do you mean "lie"?

If so, say the word.

If not: why not.

This is so embarrassing.

This administration is so incompetent.

Notice that last sentence?

Translation

"Let's slink out of #Minnesota while everybody's talking about Bondi crashing out

And send these 2,300 troops to places less organized

And where it's not 4° below zero"

Now is the time to ramp up your ICE Action and Mutual Aid networks, everybody!

Ending this operation is not enough.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

The SAVE America Act isn’t saving anyone.

Congress should be expanding access to the ballot box—not restricting it. This bill could make it harder for millions of married women to vote if it passes. It’s voter suppression disguised in the name of election security.

I will be voting HELL no.
