- ICE agents are not police officers. They only have jurisdiction over immigration. They cannot stop a vehicle for a traffic violation, nor can they remove a person from a car for blocking a road. If “orders” were issued to Renee Nicole Good by ICE, they were unlawful.

Two things can be true:
- Accepting a Nobel Peace Prize as a gift when he clearly did not win it makes Trump look desperate and pathetic
- The very fact that Maria Machado OFFERED her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump for his approval probably makes Trump feel more powerful than if he’d won it

Respectfully disagree my friend. That fucking ICE agent shot a 37yr old mother in the face for no fucking reason, and after he shot her he called her a “fucking bitch.” The American people are fucking pissed off. The word FUCK perfectly captures our righteous anger. We must keep the f-bombs flying.
Dear Democratic politicians, may I make a humble suggestion?
Stop with the constant use of the F word. Not only is it tacky, it loses its impact when you do it so much, and honestly it looks forced like you’re trying to be tough.
Just a suggestion.

Typically when the US embarks on an illegal or dubiously legal regime change we use noble words about democracy, rule of law, spreading freedom, etc. to justify our actions. Trump has not done that. He offers few noble words as eulogistic covering. It's a crass power & oil grab, according to Trump.

Watching @alivitali.bsky.social and I’m begging folks to stop yielding to the idea that there are potential war crimes when there is no war— Congress hasn’t authorized military action. The DoD is simply ordering the execution of civilians in peace time. Crime against humanity is more apt.

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”
First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

I love how Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House and #2 in line for the presidency, is always like, “What? News?! I never read or hear anything that happens in the world, anywhere. I’m totally offline. What even is ‘social media’? They play news all day on TV!? Wow! That’s a surprise!”
Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?
MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

Look at this video. Take a long, hard look at this scene. Masked federal agents, armed like soldiers on a battlefield, a dozen of em, taking down & detaining one immigrant. On our streets. Take a long, hard look at this. And then pass it on to others. This is Trumpism. This must not be who we are.👇
A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.
