ICE Gestapo at work.

We need our version of Nuremberg trials, the sooner the better. We will not survive as a democracy without that.

Trump, Noem, Miller, and every one of these goons must face consequences for this Nazi shit.

I spoke to Slate about why 404 Media is suing ICE for its $2 million spyware contract. The company ICE contracted with can remotely break into phones without the target even clicking a link slate.com/podcasts/wha...

The People Suing ICE

What kind of spyware is ICE working with—and what government agencies are collaborating?

Trump says he's cutting "Democrat Priorities." If Democrats don't use his words, and point to this and say "keeping Americans safe from infectious diseases is indeed our priority and obviously not the Trump Administration's" that is political malpractice.

The moderators had good questions but you couldn’t hear most responses bc they did not control Sears. It’s the Trump MAGA doctrine Sears used to deflect and destroy.

If anyone can vote by absentee or mail in ballot, they should do that instead of by machine and then hand deliver the ballot to the town office and put it in the box if they can. F the postal service, computerized machines that are hackable & corruptible GOP officials.

I don't think it's supposed to get us to change our minds. I mean.. a doctor's note to get an absentee ballot? Get serious.

I think it's supposed to cause 'disillusionment with the system' so that if they lose they can claim it was 'stolen'.

I am reminded of Karl Rove breaking into his own Republican campaign headquarters during George W Bush's gubernatorial campaign and claiming Democrats did it. Rove wagged the dog right before voting day and Bush won.

Until Rs are punished for their hijinks, they will continue them.
