NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

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.

This week chaotic federal immigration sweeps occurred in fields across CA-including Ventura, Kern & Tulare counties. You may have seen videos of agents chasing farm workers thru the field. Workers are terrorized.

Your gift can help us fight back.

Trump is literally arguing against his own policies.

Under the command of white nationalist Stephen Miller, ICE is terrorizing entire communities, kicking down doors of churches, schools, courtrooms, and workplaces - attacking people who have been here for decades. bsky.app/profile/ufw....
Trump: We can't take farmers and take their people and send them back because they don't have what they are supposed to have… You are supposed to throw them out? You know what happens? They end up hiring the criminals that have come in, murderers

Über Trumps Unpopularität, Ausnahmezustand als Strategie, zunehmenden Widerstand aus der Bevölkerung und Los Angeles als Stadt, in der sich die großen Konflikte des Landes immer wieder entladen. Neuer Text für @woz.ch:
Proteste in den USA: Das produzierte Chaos
Dass die Situation in Los Angeles eskaliert, könnte Donald Trump helfen. Hinter der Entsendung von Militär durch die Regierung steckt politisches Kalkül.

Germany just entered the age of military Keynesianism.

Defense spending above 1% of GDP will no longer be subject to fiscal rules. The debt brake remains in place but the tap for rearmament is open. Deficit spending on infrastructure is capped at 0.6% of GDP and climate at 0.4%.

Nach drei Wochen Lähmung endlich was aufgeschrieben: zum autoritären Staatsumbau in den USA: www.nd-aktuell.de/artikel/1188...
Autoritärer Umbau des Staates in den USA
Mit einer Geschwindigkeit, die selbst Trump-Anhänger überrascht, macht sich die neue US-Administration an die Demontage von Bundesbehörden. Die Zerschlagung von USAID soll erst der Anfang sein.

NEWS: Sources tell me that DOGE is setting its sights on the Department of Labor next. DOL workers have been ordered to give DOGE access to whatever they ask for—or risk termination.

“We’re supposed to stop everything we’re doing and do whatever the DOGE kids ask… It feels dirty and illegal.”
