We're seeing a massive institutional deportation and state violence apparatus being built and it honestly feels like people dont grasp the sheer scale of it and what already is in place. For every horrific video of masked feds kidnapping people there are so many people pushing paper to help.
NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

It is impossible to imagine people allowing this to go on (or even participating in it within the government) if he was ordering the murder without any process of French citizens or Brits or Australians on boats no matter what they were alleged to be doing.
Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

Anthony DiLorenzo: PIX-11 was tipped about ICE raid. NYers react:
"People just stopped in their tracks. People were going to school. People were coming home from work or just commuting. And stopped to scream at these ICE agents. Pulled out their phones started recording and telling them to leave."

All eyes on Broadview, Illinois tonight.
Broadview is a suburb about 12 miles west of Chicago.

Heard an officer say "let's do it" and then, in the dark, they tackle Rabbi Ben to the ground. He's being loaded into a CCSO wagon now. Broadview police also here screaming at people.

This is around the 3500 block of West Armitage.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

I think the problem with rallying around the most privileged when they've been targeted is that it never trickles down.
they're touted as examples for "all of us" but it's not actually true.

Sure looks like Stephen Miller is saying to do away with free speech to silence, jail, and crush those who speak out against his efforts. And the "free speech absolutist" Elon Musk is agreeing with him.
Can't believe so many people still claim that he's a "free speech absolutist."

Fox News is really out here responding to a right wing shooter by blaming the left for violent political rhetoric while themselves calling to mass euthanize homeless and mentally ill people. Beyond parody and absolutely deadly.

They're also revealing their ignorance of the online economy. Kirk was doing the opposite of persuasion; he was chopping up clips of ill-informed students designed to reassure his followers that their opponents were all morons and it wasn't worth inquiring into their ideas any further
These people have smarted themselves into the dumbest fucking arguments.
Determining whether someone is "doing politics the right way" depends almost entirely on the content of their speech! If someone lies constantly and endorses authoritarians that's not practicing good politics.

Those reading this as approval of Kirk’s killing are reading words that aren’t there. I don’t want to live in a world of normalized violence. Charlie Kirk spent his life ensuring we all have to live in such a world. We do everything a disservice to elide the reality of that.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Just to emphasize: officially, as far as the federal government is concerned, Kirk is just some dude. No legitimate reason to give him state honors of any sort.

As a public figure himself, Kirk did not restrict himself to politeness. He was incredibly crude and cruel about the deaths of other people. Reflecting on his life should reflect the truth.

I would be happy if I never heard the name Graham Linehan again, but I do feel the need to comment, because the nature of a lot of the abuse trans people receive is straight up sexual harassment, but is not recognized as such because the victim is trans.
