Arresting a public official for asking questions is dangerous intimidation and sends an unmistakably authoritarian message – that ICE doesn’t care about the rule of law, and that anyone exercising their right to challenge ICE and speak up for immigrants will be punished.

Secret police forces typically meet 5 criteria:
targeting political opponents & dissidents
answer directly to dictator
the identity of members / operations are secret
surveillance operations
arbitrary searches, arrests, interrogations, detentions, disappearances & torture.
So yeah: ICE= Gestapo

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

Striking stat from @kellycnbc.bsky.social on this:
The rise in treasury yields since Trump’s tariffs were announced leads to an increase in US debt interest payments that is larger than all the DOGE savings.

Kidnapping.
Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.
Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.
A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.
-You cannot legally deport people without due process.
-You cannot legally deport citizens.
-They are defining down deportation to break the law.

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen
It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world
It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

We need revenge is a good rallying cry for millennials
I’m also a millennial who somehow managed to carve out a pretty nice niche for myself by building a diverse set of technical skills in a hot field - and then MAGAs came along and torched *every industry I work with* in a few months.
Fuck another round of professional reinvention. We need revenge.

First headline I've seen for this story in any paper that explicitly calls out this idea as unconstitutional.
President Donald Trump on Sunday declined to rule out seeking a third presidential term — an unconstitutional act explicitly barred under the 22nd Amendment — saying that “there are methods which you could do it.”
Trump suggests ‘methods’ exist for bid for unconstitutional third term
President Donald Trump again raised the idea of running for a third term in office, an unconstitutional idea that would run afoul of the 22nd Amendment.
