So we are at the part of fascist consolidation where the largest newspapers in the country are creating puff pieces about fascist terrorists trying to make them out as normal people not the stochastic terrorists they are.
As an influencer, Nick Shirley had struggled to expand his reach. But after a missionary trip pushed him to try a new approach, he caused a sensation with a video claiming to expose fraud at Somali-run day care centers in Minnesota. nyti.ms/45GzJi4

We live in a world where a convicted child rapist and sex trafficker is treated better in prison than the children who’ve been detained by ICE.

Ghislaine Maxwell gets to be in a cushy minimum security facility …

5 year old Liam Ramos is locked up in a camp where kids are screaming “let us out”.

Can we stop with the qualifying language here? These videos don’t “appear” to contradict DHS claims; they *do* contradict DHS claims
Videos analyzed by @nytimes appear to contradict DHS accounts that the man approached agents with a handgun and the intent to “massacre” them. Footage shows the man holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when agents take him to the ground. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/us...

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.
Instead of hiring more immigration judges, the Department of Justice just posted an ad for "deportation judges." join.justice.gov

“No public criminal charges have been filed against anyone in connection with the raid … The @chicagotribune.com has been able to confirm the identity of only one immigrant taken into custody by federal agents that night: a 41-year-old pizza delivery man … who has no apparent criminal history.”
They were already living in one of Chicago’s worst apartment buildings. Then came the ICE raid.
In what appears to have been a warrantless operation, the federal government will not say how many people were detained, who remains in custody and what happened to the children.

But I was told that rule of law was going to save us ?

The social construction of democratic law and order is unable to fully withstand fascism and its wanton lying. The agreements that make up law only work if both sides agree to be honest. The fascists are liars and know they can lie openly.
“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

The American Gestapo is getting more and more comfortable with their brutality and flouting of the law and constitution because they know they will never be held accountable for it.

America’s fascism is going to require an effort on par with war to correct and decades to accomplish.
A US citizen in Chicago was kidnapped by Border Patrol and dumped on the streets half a mile away. EVEN THOUGH HE WAS FILMING IT. They do not care about getting caught. They have no fear of accountability.

But the loudest centrist lawyers and legal pendents on social media said this could never be used to prosecute people and was effectively just a diversion…..

The loudest lawyers on social media sure don’t seem to understand how law or authoritarianism actually work or they are lying.

It’s fun how the Neo liberals are openly saying they don’t plan on defunding the Gestapo. They’re just going to to ask them to stop wearing masks nicely and that’s it. The national level Democratic Party is completely unwilling to do what is going to be needed to regain democracy.
This is good: Rep Eric Swalwell tells me House Dems are now discussing making an end to mask-wearing a precondition for ICE funding.

"When we are in the majority, the masks are coming off," he says.

This is the next frontier in anti-Trump resistance.

Greta Thunberg was beaten and tortured by the Israelis. They learned how to call her a whore in Swedish, and forced her to wear the Israeli flag.

The Swedish foreign ministry abandoned its citizens in Israel, and downplayed what they went through.

According to the victim's attorney, the body camera captured the officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before leaping out of the car and shooting her multiple times. Another officer asked, “Hey, what happened?” The first pointed to his camera, “Hey, don’t speak. You’re good”

US military just killed 3 more people in another deadly strike on a vessel in international waters around South America allegedly "transporting illegal narcotics" from Venezuela.

No evidence presented. No due process.

Understand this fact:—this is a precursor to what he will do to US citizens.
Remember the “narco terrorist” boat that Trump bombed? Venezuela reports all 11 killed were civilians. 0 gang members.

If you think they’re lying, then USA could prove it by showing the evidence used to verify the 11 were terrorists.

They’ve offered 0 evidence. This was a criminal act. Murder.
