Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

Not gonna lie, living here in WA that has so many deep ties with Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks and Boeing makes me think that we as a state need to collectively reckon with our labor propping up such pillars of unchecked power and greed.

Hundreds of people have marched to the South Portland ICE facility.
The protest was organized hours after a man was shot and killed by federal agents in Minnesota while observing and filming them.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

The question I keep asking is how do you get people so completely invested in a fiction to come back to empirical reality? I don’t see how we fix this without coming back to a shared set of facts.
A nation that metabolizes as "normal" the fact that red-pilled, conspiracy-obsessed ideologues with zero qualifications and zero concern for empirical reality are running the country, is a nation that doesn't have much of a future ahead of it as either a democracy or a remotely prosperous place.

Good. I’m not qualified to make any legal judgements here, but it seems pretty clear to me that the Trump administration as a whole are contemptuous of anyone daring to tell them what to do, especially the courts.
