This is correct.
DHS lies over the past year are explicit calls to violence.
Telegraphing that they'll protect any violence, no matter what.
That there is no limit.

This is true, of course. But I'll just state again that these lies from DHS are a different animal.
They aren't actually trying to cover anything up. They know that we know they're lying. They're advertising that they can use lethal force with impunity, and that we're powerless to stop them.

Reminders: Law enforcement lies out of the gate as a rule about shootings in general. I don't say this to diminish anyone's reactions to what ICE is doing. Those reactions are appropriate, and we should be raging against this violence. We should also have a baseline understanding of state violence.

again, the hogs do not know that they are playing with fire
Was talking to a random nice older woman from East Isles last night and ICE came up. She then detailed, totally free of irony, her plan for reforming US government, which included the simultaneous mass execution of every leading member of the Trump administration, many of whom were mentioned by name

Q: Do you agree with Trump saying we should 'nationalize' elections?
THUNE: I think the president has clarified what he meant by that, and that is that he supports the SAVE Act

I am not gleefully predicting this, just speaking from some experience, and trying to steel folks for the right timespan on fighting this: within 2-4 years, there will be Very Serious People demanding you give up asking for accountability on this stuff, and in fact *you* are the problem for doing so
This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.
