Public outrage, sustained attention, and effort by elected officials can together make a real difference.
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Incomes in Texas haven’t kept pace with the nation at large, according tot new U.S. Census Bureau data.

The state’s housing costs have outpaced income growth. More than half of the state’s 4.1 million renters spend more than 30% of their income on rent.
Texas incomes rose, but housing costs rose faster, census says
Incomes and education attainment among Texans have increased, while poverty has declined.

Federal immigration officers across the country are newly equipped with an array of state-of-the-art surveillance technologies, thanks to a bill that transformed ICE into the country’s most highly funded law enforcement agency.

Here’s a look at their arsenal:
The powerful tools in ICE’s arsenal to track suspects — and protesters
Biometric trackers, cellphone location databases and drones are among the surveillance technologies agents are using in their immigration enforcement campaign.

ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.
A legal asylum-seeker who works at Chipotle and plays music at a church in Maine went missing. His pastor searched and searched, eventually finding his abandoned car with the keys on the floor.

ICE grabbed him. No criminal record. No explanation.

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

I honestly don't know. The order to use force in Greenland would be, on its face, illegal, even if some MAGA DOJ stooge writes an opinion blessing it, and it would require Americans to shoot at people they've trained and served with. The whole business is utterly insane.
@radiofreetom.bsky.social What effect would an invasion of Greenland have on the upper ranks of the armed forces?

Would we see mass resignation? Refusal to carry out orders, with those officers replaced by those who will?

I did read the article you wrote (thank you).

Absolutely true, and somehow not-discussed point:

The US **ALREADY** has all the strategic advantages it could gain by "owning" Greenland. Through treaties and (until now) close NATO cooperation w Denmark

The US has a naval base & 'space force' base there. You see USAF planes at Grndlnd airports
The thing that’s so dumb about this is that there’s nothing legitimate about the strategic importance of Greenland that the US doesn’t get through existing alliances. Denmark isn’t impeding US strategic interests. It’s about them wanting to increase US land area by 20%.

This.

They’re advertising strength because they don’t have it.

Take their message seriously.
It’s who they are.
But don’t buy their product.
DHS publicly fantasizing about massive state violence should be taken seriously, and warrants labels such as fascist and white supremacist. But don't lose sight of the fact that it's beyond their capabilities.

The regime's desire for authoritarian repression is bottomless. Its capacity isn't close.
They want to wipe out almost a third of the country. It’s got nothing to do with illegal immigration.

It’s white nationalism pure and simple. They’re fascists, and there’s no reason to doubt it.
