75-year old Cuban man in the US for SIX DECADES dies in ICE custody. Convicted in the 1980s for 2 counts of federal possession of controlled substances.

Acting ICE Director, Tom Homan, in response says, “I mean, people die in ICE custody.”

"A reporter from @thecity.nyc had overheard one agent say to another minutes before Lander’s arrest, 'Do you want to arrest the Comptroller?'"

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

Oh man, his cronies are trying to make fetch happen.

I’m just spitballing here, but I don’t think this administration of ‘geniuses’ is very smart.

In fact I think they may be fucking idiots.

This BETTER OUTRAGE EVERYONE

DO YOU KNOW HOW HELPFUL AND NECESSARY THESE VISITS ARE???

THIS IS WRONG !!!

Know why the US is $36 trillion in debt? Because the Republicans give rich people and corporations tax cuts, and we, the middle and lower class, foot the bill. Rob the poor to give to the rich. #VoteBlue2025 #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

Musk's "deferred resignation" contract is a TRAP.

Anyone who signs it WAIVES all rights to pursue legal action against the government -- including TO ENFORCE THE RESIGNATION AGREEMENT ITSELF.

So Musk and Trump can just break the contract, and there's nothing you can do.

All of the Republicans who for years railed about "unelected bureaucrats" destroying the government are awfully quiet as an unelected bureaucrat destroys the government.

These are the people they have handling the most confidential information Americans share with their government, and deciding who works & who doesn’t, which programs survive and which don’t.

And no doubt Elon shares those views. This is a takeover of our govt. We need to stop this NOW!

Holy shit.

“USAID’s inspector general was investigating a public-private partnership involving Musk’s company just before Musk shut the agency down.

Key USAID web pages mentioning Musk’s company have suddenly vanished from the agency’s website.”

Follow the money.

Once you realize that Trump isn’t nominating cabinet members to RUN agencies but DESTROY them, it makes more sense.
