I hope someday we defeat fascism and in the far future, No Kings Day is celebrated as a federal holiday, and little children leave out dance mixtapes and cookies for the Resistance Frog, who leaves pocket Constitutions in their shoes.

Terrible headline. ICE didn't "expand" their power (only a law could do that. ICE is "claiming expanded power". Or better yet "announcing they will break the law".

Memos do not work like that. They can't magically grant new powers.
Scoop: Federal agents were told this week that they have broader power to arrest people without a warrant, according to an internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo reviewed by The New York Times.

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

A judge ordered Don Lemon released on his own recognizance after he was indicted for interfering with a religious service during an ICE protest in Minnesota.
The judge also denied the government’s request for a $100,000 bond and refused to restrict his travel.

Do not obey in advance.
People keep saying "Getting arrested is bad, actually" and while I'd certainly prefer not to be, the administration's entire strategy is built around the idea that I will live in fear of it, and shape my behavior to avoid it, and cry in shame if I am. That is how THEY CONTROL YOU.

Trump is controlling EVERYONE with fear. Politicians, foreign nations, universities, industries. "What if he does something to me?"
Well, what if he does?! Is that the worst thing anyone has ever experienced? Time in jail? A court fight? You lose your job? Is that worth your god-given free will

Before every fight, you have to accept the idea of your own death, in the fight, but commit to making a good account of yourself during it. And that's how you keep on living through fights.

Even Anonymous, when they were hacking HB Gary and the FBI and Congress, had journalists not just filming in-person events, but in their actual chats. They had a special room for them. This new journalist-hate has Russian vibes IMHO.

sitting at a whites-only lunch counter is also "baiting," is the thing. and probably a lot more dangerous than telling ICE's donut patrol to bug off
I mean when they pulled you over clearly you did the right thing and you're doing the right thing chasing them... it's just actually baiting them seems could lead to an unforced error but maybe that's the point. Maybe it would make a good court case and publicity.

It turns out that almost every single social media/keyboard revolutionary leftist literally doesn’t understand that the entire point of civil disobedience is about getting arrested. That’s the feature not a bug! I just assume they’re all cowardly idiots at this point.

You've gotta have a threat model, otherwise it's just LARPSEC
If things get so bad that the feds are rounding up everyone who was photographed at a protest, they won't bother with things like 'evidence' or 'trials'. They'll just nab anyone with social media posts that look like, well, this:

Very important vote. It makes repealing ICE surge funding the mainstream position in the party, with bipartisan support.
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

The LAPD has no problem criminalizing all of the great folks out today on the streets (the constant drum of sirens + helicopters is deafening), but it won’t enforce the anti-masking law against ICE.

Unless you’ve masked throughout, ICE knows who’s following them through facial ID and similar tech. Observer safety *and effectiveness* is through visibility, not anonymity.
It would be genuinely tragic if badly misunderstood opsec ideas fractured Minneapolis’ response to ICE.

Again, real press will absolutely respect rules and boundaries, and I always establish that the only observer who can be identified in any way is myself. But all-consuming paranoia about cameras and press is awful for us. ICE is the one operating in secret. We’re the ones bringing daylight.
