“Are you OK?”

(Can’t believe I have to say this, but I’m not lonely, don’t need a date or sales pitches.

Oh, and no DMs unless you know me.)
The current debate over ICE and CBP funding in the DHS minibus bill is misguided. You can’t simply cut funding to part of an agency whose creation was born of terror, whose roots are tainted by the idea that foreigners, and Muslims in particular, are a threat to national security.

I changed my email signature to:

“Alexi Pretti’s last words were “Are you OK?”

Well, are you?”

In order to honor his sacrifice and to remind people to check themselves.

If you’re not OK with where we are today, then let’s make a change.

Bovino being canned, GOP gubernatorial candidates dropping out of the race, are just the first cracks in this regime’s facade.

Now is not the time to ease up. Redouble your efforts, keep the pressure up. Write businesses to go on the record, march in the streets, stand up and speak out.

ICE and Trump have fully lost control of any narrative. Because all anyone saw yesterday was a bunch of insecure incels killing a man for being everything that is seen as what makes a good man.

I don’t think ICE understands the difference between a detention and an arrest. They are treating legal protestors like deportation targets.

In both cases their go-to move is an immediate take down. Wherever they are they first drag the person to the ground, then search and cuff. In the street.

Filming federal agents in public is not a crime, nobody should be harassed or restrained for doing so, nobody should have their phone confiscated for it, and nobody should get the death penalty for it. This is supposed to be a free Republic, not an authoritarian police state.

Maine? Ok, if they are sending hundreds of ICE and CBP to Maine, then this was never about illegal immigration.

How many migrants enter the country through Maine? Maybe a handful of Canadians looking for lobster rolls? 😳

This is just punitive. And shameful.

Gov Tim Walz's office has now received a subpoena from DOJ, his office just confirmed.

Absolutely vile. The only people facing federal investigation of any kind right now for the killing of Renee Good are Minnesota officials who drew attention to it.

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people.

Trumpism is fascism.

Today we honor Dr. King by remembering that his legacy wasn’t comfort or quiet it was courage, sacrifice, and resistance in the face of injustice. He knew progress is never handed down; it’s pushed forward by ordinary people who refuse to accept inequality as normal.

“She should have just complied” is no different than “she shouldn’t have worn a short skirt”

It’s the classic rape culture defence repackaged & repurposed to justify murder, and we must speak out against it

Jonathan Ross didn’t murder Renee Good because he was afraid, he did it because she wasn’t:
Misogyny, Murder and Renee Nicole Good
It's been a week since we watched an ICE agent shoot and kill Renee Nicole Good and then mutter "f*cking b*tch" at her. It's time we talk about the misogyny that's baked into ICE enforcement.

Maybe Hegseth meant to rename the DoD to the Department of War Crimes?

Because that’s where they are.

There is no such thing as illegal immigration. It’s not illegal to seek to immigrate to the US.

Violating our immigration rules doesn’t necessarily make you a criminal either, any more than driving on expired tags or turning right on red where it’s not allowed.

What matters is intent. 1/4

This agency is out of control if leadership is no longer checking violations of constitutional rights. Congress absolutely must step in before more people are kidnapped/killed.
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Clearly this is a lie.

Summary executions are extra-judicial. Renee Good didn’t get due process, she was killed by a federal agent who lost his temper.
