Wear a balaclava, a flak vest, carry a gun, say you're an ICE agent and you can do whatever the fuck you want? Is that how it works in the USA now? That's no longer a real country and should be getting completely shunned by the civilsed world.

How does the right tear down progressive societies? It starts with a joke | George Monbiot
Whether it’s bloodshed at Glastonbury or starving people on benefits, their ‘irony poisoning’ seeps obscene ideas into the range of the possible, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

So what seems clear from the intel, is that we probably should have reloaded the B2s, and gone for a second round. Instead the impulsive toddler was desperate to have a strong ending to the movie and declare a cease fire. This is a show to him, entertainment, and he’s the “star”
I don’t think this ICE will stop with immigrants. They’re going to keep going after more and more people. They may create new agencies with new names, but this is the blueprint for what the future they have in store for handling people they consider problematic.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.
If you’re not outraged at this point then there’s something seriously wrong with you. This is some evil 💩 .
Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · last yr.I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful. Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood. We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.
BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

Q: 20 years ago you were skeptical of a GOP admin that attacked a Middle East country on the idea of questionable intelligence on WMD. How is this different? TRUMP: That was somewhat pre-nuclear. It was the nuclear age but nothing like it is today *proceeds to lie about opposition to Iraq*

Swalwell: You were promised lower prices on day one. How many of you are feeling those lower prices? You were promised an end to all wars on day one. How many of you have seen an end to those wars? Donald Trump is 0 for 150. He made those promises on day one—and now we’re on day 150.
What's happening to libraries in Florida should frighten everyone. Spurred on by Moms For Liberty, the AG is threatening librarians with felonies for stocking LGBTQ+ books and overruling established processes for removing "harmful" material. It's a full on censorship campaign by the government.
