FINALLY SOMEONE MAKES THIS POINT!
Yes, ICE is struggling to recruit and dropping standards. But the abuses we've seen on the streets are coming from long-serving agents. Jonathan Ross was a 10-year ICE veteran and a firearms instructor. The problem with ICE isn't J6ers. It's with the agency itself, and the people directing it. 6/

Trump’s invasion of Venezuela is illegal under the Constitution & binding international law
Article 51 allows self-defense only
Maduro was not attacking the US
Drugs are not a legal justification
Jan 6-style illegality exported overseas

Hi @forwardblue.bsky.social No Kings 3 planning is ongoing. You are hurting our coalition-building by sending texts like this-it confuses partners who see them & think we've made decisions without consulting them.
Please reach out to discuss what to do with the money you've raised for No Kings.

This is why public backlash and mobilizing is so crucial. ICE is an out-of-control secret police and if the lesson they learn from this week is that escalating violence against civilians = less protest and less oversight, they will put that lesson into action. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/o...
