As ICE comes to Central Ohio, it’s worth noting that those who challenge abuses of power rarely do so only once. Resistance reshapes one’s relationship to authority, making resistance to other forms of domination more likely and such people recurring problems for governments that rule through it.

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

Trump wasn’t prosecuted for “speech.”
He was prosecuted for using presidential power to pressure officials to falsify votes.
If you defend “Find me the votes,” you’re defending the last coup attempt and clearing the way for the next.

The Trump administration believes that the rich and powerful should be pardoned for their crimes, even after judges and juries determined their guilt.
But if you’re a non-white guy in a fishing boat, there’s no need for a trial or even an arrest. Murder from above, no questions asked.

When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

Instead, officials are supposed to take a screenshot, send that to their work email, download it onto their work computer and run a text-recognition program on it. Every time.
