New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis.

Three pieces of news in the last few days that you may have missed — all Democratic or progressive victories.

1️⃣ Pennsylvania's Bucks County quit its ICE contract, due to the new sheriff elected in November.
BREAKING: Dan Ceisler, the new sheriff of Pennsylvania's Bucks County, just announced he has terminated his county's 287(g) contract with ICE.

Ceisler defeated GOP sheriff who'd joined the ICE program in November, & ran on quitting it; we reported then:
Voters Ousted This Pennsylvania Sheriff After He Signed Up to Collaborate With ICE - Bolts
A populous, swing county replaced its GOP sheriff on Tuesday after months of controversy over his joining ICE’s 287(g) program. The Democratic winner promises he’ll end the contract.

"Resistance must be collective. We must assert not only our individual rights, but economic, social and political rights — without them we are powerless.

Resistance means organizing to disrupt the machinery of commerce and government."
Chris Hedges:

I have seen the masked goons who terrorize our streets before

I have been a prisoner in their jails and spent hours in their interrogation rooms

I have been beaten by them

I have been deported, and in several cases banned, from their countries

I know what is coming
The Machinery of Terror
The Trump administration is consolidating the familiar machinery of terror of all authoritarian states. We must resist now. If we wait, it will be too late.

President Donald Trump seemed to briefly power down when confronted by reporters over whether voters could still expect him to deliver on one of his boldest promises to date.

Trump, 79, Flat-Out Forgets Crucial Promise to Voters: ‘When Did I Do That?’ — The Daily Beast
The president’s guarantees of a windfall from his flagship policy seem about as reliable as his grasp of what it means to launch a trade war against the rest of the planet.

The latter part of this tweet has gone under the radar but it's an alarming escalation. The Trump admin has already detained dozens of people with full refugee status, seemingly those who had not yet adjusted to green cards, and is detaining them in Texas and seeking to strip them of their status.
Update: Since Jan 9, there have been 12 ICE Air flights out of Minneapolis, MN—a jump from the typical 3 flights/week to Minneapolis. This surge is taking place as people with valid refugee status are being taken from their homes in MN & transferred to detention centers in TX.

Geez, I go to an extended lunch and come back to three big developments:

✅ Mike Tomlin out in Pittsburgh
✅ Kevin Patullo out in Philly
✅ Ford worker calls Trump a "pedophile protector"

All of these things were long overdue and very necessary.

Everyone keeps trying to convince me that @governor.pa.gov is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Well here you go, Governor. ICE is in Pittsburgh about to step up their terrorizing people and targeting Las Palmas.

DO something. Or don't come begging me for your vote in 2028 or 2032.

If the state isn't going to feed hungry people, why take it out on individuals picking up their slack.

My take is that someone who fed is far less likely to commit a crime than someone who isn't.
Police arrested volunteers for feeding hungry people in Kansas City, after 13 years without incident. Businesses complained, blamed immigrants & threatened ICE. 2 were charged w/ trespassing. Kansas City "Food Not Bombs" feeds 50-100 people weekly. This is state cruelty.

No, we don't have the resources right now for a general strike. We don't have the rent and food funds or the bail funds or the child and healthcare funds.

But the response to that isn't "welp, we're fucked, so much for a general strike."

It's to start organizing those things in your community.

Nothing for nothing, but this administration just put every civilian aircraft in the line of fire.
Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."
