From Heather Cox Richardson today, Sept 24, 2925

.... foreign affairs journalist Ishaan Tharoor captured the larger story of Trump’s speech:

“A senior foreign diplomat posted at the U.N. texts me,” Tharoor wrote, “‘This man is stark, raving mad. Do Americans not see how embarrassing this is?’”

Watching ICE going into medical facilities to arrest people who are there being treated or seeing the doctor....pisses me the f*ck off. There is no bottom to this sorry ass administration.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Hilarious line on CNN tonight…

Anderson Cooper interviewing MA RepSeth Moulton, MA Cooper asked him about Trump statements & Moulton says, I can’t explain the mind of the president because I’m not a child psychologist.
Hahahaha! Touché!
🤣😂🤣😂
Also terrifying.
The Orange Felon is out of his mind.

ICE was created in 2003 with the help of mass marketing exploiting people's fears and prejudices, and with overwhelming support from both parties.

A vocal minority predicted correctly that ICE would become an instrument of mass terror against all of us.

Trans people are warning us similarly today.

How much you wanna bet that some of these masked “agents” were among the pardoned? I’m going with “highly likely.”

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident.

He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.
