Everyone should take a couple of minutes and watch this, because it's a perfect illustration of how ICE disappears people by making it almost impossible to communicate with family, friends, and lawyers.

We are spending 175 billion dollars on ICE to brutalize communities and traumatize children for life.
This is being done in your name, with your tax dollars, on our watch. Don’t look away.

Day 290
The beef between the DOJ and Sean Dunn came to an end yesterday when he was acquitted on assault charges after throwing a Subway sandwich at a federal officer.
The DOJ had tried to secure a felony charge, but the grand jury thought that was baloney.
High steaks.
You are all caught up.

“When you have people in inflatables bouncing around…it’s going to be very difficult to say this was a war zone, this was a riot…It de-escalates with ICE, it de-escalates with protesters, it de-escalates with counter-protesters — and, ironically enough, the pepper balls bounce right off.”
Why Portland ICE protesters are showing up dressed as giant inflatable animals
"Operation Inflation" is stocking a rack of free inflatable costumes near the site of Portland ICE protests.

YouTube appears to be suppressing videos about the Republican I love Hitler leaks. It is statistically impossible that a video would have zero likes after having a couple of thousand views but more importantly the video won't even play for many users per the comments

if you bank or do any business with Wells Fargo, I hope you look for a new bank today.
The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.
southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...
The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Impersonators are mimicking ICE tactics for their own nefarious purposes. SCOTUS has previously rule that there are no reasons to resist arrest - including a belief that the officer "arresting" you is a fraud. So, now wtf do you do? #maskedthugs be damned, I say fight back and let a jury free you.

It’s useful to think of Christian Nationalism as a subculture like any other, with one important difference. THIS subculture thinks of itself as the default “normal” culture of “real Americans,” but which is also under siege by “the dominant culture.”
That's part of why I wrote this. It's important to understand that MAGA is not "real" America.
On the contrary, the reason they're all so fucking bitter is they know most people aren't like them. And they resent that.
