When The Current Regime has been overthrown, it may be useful to determine if Gestapo supervisors (=ICE Border Patrol) gave any “on the spot” awards, cash bonuses, step increases, or [paid] time off to goons for misconduct, abusing, disappearing, or executing people

I've been seeing a lot of people disparaging democracy as a failure. It has not failed us. We however as a nation have been failing it.
For it to succeed, it needs an engaged and informed populace. Which is why those who want power but not responsibility, attack Free speech and public education

I don’t need any additional investigations.
Nor any hearings or committees or fact-finding studies.
What I need is for the people who have committed obvious crimes to be removed from power immediately.
Anything else is nonsense that allows for more crimes.
Don’t settle for Dem bullshit.

Just responded to a sighting of ICE on foot at nearby apartments. They’re out of the way and there’s a major snowstorm as we speak. Some of the worst road conditions I’ve ever seem; spun out my car trying to get there.
When I arrived 5 minutes after the call, at least 30 people were already there.

Crazy ICE experiences yesterday! Four ICE vehicles boxed me in outside my own house after following me home and trying to have me arrested. Watch the video for details!

Spent all afternoon driving folks around and buying groceries for families in hiding.
Played soccer for the first time since this mess started (even scored a goal). Just kind of overcome with emotion on the snowy drive home as I listened to music from my younger days. Hard to believe this is life.

Yes, I am scared of ICE. I think every American should be afraid of ICE. That is not an American organization; it’s a far-right militia with no training, empathy or questions of who they serve.
And unlike the saints whose stories do get highlighted, I think I would just be gone.

Trump could confess his crimes. Or become state’s evidence, turn everyone else in, and go into witness protection. But he prefers to start wars and send hundreds/thousands of people to die.

Man, expectations are so low and I understand. People have been so beaten down politically that they think that nothing will be changed. But WE are the ones who have to push them to enact the policies they commit to. Nothing will 'just happen.'

Stop chasing conservative votes. They are NEVER going to vote for you. It doesn't matter how hard you are on crime or immigration, they'll just tell their mindless followers that you aren't and that's literally all it ever takes.

The surge in violence meted out by ICE absolutely should continue to be condemned, but I think a lot of people didn't realize or care that activists have been facing life-altering injury from cops for generations. "Law enforcement" has always been the violence. It ALL needs to stop.

I received a report today from a community member who spotted approximately 24 new unmarked SUVs. outside the ICE facility in Tukwila, WA, just south of Seattle.
It’s hard to say for certain what this means, but it could indicate a greater deployment of personnel in the region in the near future.
