Tear off the masks when they show up. Take their photos. Get them on video. Expose them. Out them. Name them.
They need to be made into pariahs where decent people gather.
We cannot allow them to terrorize us.

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

Sacking or disciplining an employee for expressing a political opinion can breach anti-discrimination laws. Organisations lobbying for that sort of outcome may also be acting unlawfully.
Alex Pearce shared a post. Jewish groups took offence. The AFL said nothing
Only one group was prepared to give context to why Fremantle captain Alex Pearce should not have reposted an Irish band’s statements about the war in Gaza. It wasn’t the AFL.

Siwar Ashour was born into war and hunger and has known nothing else. She is now in real danger of dying without ever having known a moment of peace or contentment.
The six-month-old Palestinian girl, whose painfully emaciated body symbolised the deliberate starvation of Gaza when she appeared on the BBC this week, was only 2.5kg when she was born on 20 November last year. Continue reading...

Scenes are repeating across the United States, passersby and local residents confront & resist Trump's ICE regime troops as they’re spotted kidnapping their neighbours. The regime continues its campaign of ethnic cleansing, appearing at homes and businesses masked and without warrants. #3E #StopICE

It’s really striking how irregular the bands of mostly men conducting federal immigration enforcement are. They seem to have no particular uniform, they wear a variety of different agency initials on their tactical vests, or none at all, they’re inconsistent about displaying a badge…

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law.
ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad.
They must be held accountable.
