ICE has completely broken our social contract.

They manipulate social trust and are creating lasting damage to our most basic social foundations

Tina-Desiree Berg @tinadesireeberg.com · 14h

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

i'm sorry, but there is absolutely no way to trust companies that have thrown their lot in with this administration. americans have a long tradition of anonymous political speech. short of illegal activity, what guardrails are companies applying?

please read this important reporting as a warning.

I’ll repeat myself that I’m amazed this kind of stuff hasn’t caused more outrage and reaction than it has.

I’ve spent a lot of time watching gun violence ravage the country that is justified as the price of guarding against tyranny. It turns out, we’re pretty ok with tyranny.
