I want some Republican to tell me exactly how this kidnapping made them safer. Explain it to me like I’m 5 years old. I want pictures and graphics that draw a direct line from this abduction to the welfare of their GOP family.
🚨NEW: When ICE raided a Californian farm yesterday, they snatched & disappeared a disabled US veteran who was in his car.
They smashed his window, peppered sprayed him & dragged him to the floor.
Listen to his wife & sister here, distraught. No-one will tell them where he is.

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

ICE abuse and violence isn’t starting from scratch.
ICE officers aren’t new grads from ICE school.
ICE abuses immigrants, because US law enforcement abuses residents.
ICE facilities do human rights abuses because US jails and prisons do.

Another thing we don’t talk about enough is statelessness, and how the attack on birthright citizenship could create a global crisis and permanent underclass that you are born into forever.

Reminder that it took conservatives 50 years of intensely organized effort to overturn Roe v Wade. We need to be ready to commit at that same level if we want to make a better future for the children of the world.

Every person in the US should be made familiar with the Stanford prison experiment and understand how fast and easy it is to dehumanize others.

The US prison population has declined from 1.6 M in 2009, years to about 1.2M in 2023 and was projected to fall as low as 600K in 10yrs
The escalation in ICE is designed to facilitate state repression, but it’s also a blank check to the prison industrial complex and private prisons.

The loophole allowing those in prisons to be used legally as slave labor should have been closed long ago. We are about to see that maximized in ways we never thought possible.

“Just leave the country” is not a solution to fascism.
A large number of people can’t even leave their city or state
They’re trapped in legislative poverty. They’re disabled. They have families they can’t uproot or leave behind
The reasons are endless, but make no mistake, leaving is a privilege

The newly established “Make America Beautiful Again Commission,” created under a Trump executive order, may sound harmless, or even beneficial, but beneath the surface, it represents a major threat to public lands.

Among the many other comments about Texas and “this is what you voted for…” we need to start acknowledging that this is a systemic problem way bigger than race. Racism, misogyny, and regressive policies have been voted in by both parties in a long term way 1/

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

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.
