Fascism has come to the U.S. No one is coming to save us. Not Congress, not our elected officials, not the courts, not law enforcement, not the military. If we get out of this, it will be because of everyday citizens.

If there’s any legal loophole that could allow airports to refuse to refuel these planes due to emergency evacuation safety concerns for the shackled passengers or any other reason then perhaps we should start demanding airports do that.

There are now just 100 days until the Nov 3 midterm. Saying this is the most important election in our lives is an understatement. This is the most important election in the life of our Republic. If MAGA wins, they will rig 2028 elections and target the freedoms of all who oppose them!

The FDA is not withhold info about food contamination. There are like 6 fucking ppl to run recall comms for the entire US and about the same number of ppl in the field to track and trace. You cannot report what you don’t fucking know. There is a difference and this is not helping.

The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.

Making matters worse, the guy was a total rookie. ICE hired him in 2026. He's a veteran who had been bouncing around a series of jobs for short periods of time, often just 1-2 years. In 2025 he was fired from a job as a volunteer firefighter for getting into shouting fights with leadership.

ABC News and The Atlantic reported on Tuesday that the agent was hired by ICE earlier this year and that he had worked for the Department of Veterans Affairs. Brouillette was working for the VA at Togus as a police officer in 2021, according to court records from a legal dispute with an ex-wife. 

Brouillette is a U.S. Army veteran and had been receiving disability benefits through the VA, according to the same records. He told a judge he was working as a truck driver before January 2025 when he said he had to resign due to health concerns. 

Some of his positions have been brief. According to Maine public employment records, he worked for the Maine Correctional Center in Windham from 2015 and resigned a year later. He worked for the Maine Department of Health and Human Services from 2019 to 2020 — it’s unclear in what role. 

In 2024 and 2025, he was a volunteer firefighter in Manchester. He worked there for two short stints across only a matter of months before he was “removed” after several spats with department leadership, according to former and current staff. His tenure included a shouting match, staff said, and refusal to follow superiors’ orders.

“The suspension is not absolute and there’s room for exceptions when executing a criminal warrant or working with partner agencies, according to a person who spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive law enforcement operations.” This means nothing then. #AbolishICE

BREAKING: The Trump administration orders ICE to suspend most vehicle stops after two deadly shootings, an AP source says.
