Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

I think the fact that we allowed cops to lie openly with no real consequences is part of How We Got Here. If the people with the ability to shoot others in the street are allowed to lie about it, you can't expect other officials to abide by a higher standard.

One thing you will never ever see is cops actually protecting protesters, regardless of circumstance. It's against their very nature. Even with their city under assault by the federal government, cops go after protesters like dogs after a cat.

Unless those protesters have swastika flags.

Troopers just violently attacked protesters, tackled several, several arrests, shoving activists and press with batons.

Everyone working for ICE in any capacity needs to be ostracised, as do their spouses, their kids and their extended families.
If your job is to not show compassion for others and their families, then the same apples to you and yours, even if you're "just following orders".
No pasaràn.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Ultimately, the cops will never be on our side and looking to them for any sort of assistance is at best a fool’s errand. They are above all else tools of oppression. They always side with fascists when forced to pick sides.

These are all lovely sentiments but the thing is the police are a gang and they don’t particularly care for rules placed on them by others. And when politicians fight them, our generally disinformed electorate gets bombarded with messaging that said elected is pro crime and they lose their job.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

In 2026, Mainers will reject Collins for her role in overturning Roe, her ongoing support for anti-choice judges, and the threat she poses to Mainers’ health and freedom. #MESen

Let’s be honest: there have already been several bizarre moments from Trump this morning alone that would justify invoking the 25th Amendment.

He is a seriously unwell individual.
