There is no manner in which ICE agents now present themselves, no language they will direct at citizens or immigrants, no abuse or brutality they undertake, and no slaying they will commit that can at this point shock or surprise me. These thugs are not law enforcement. They are S.A. brownshirts.

UPDATE ON TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS SHOCKER

"But the results are consistent with polling over the last year, signaling that Texans have been turning increasingly negative on the Republican leadership of the State."

Some people who are calling for opposing both parties are sincere but unrealistic. Others are right-wing trolls who understand that all it take for Trumpism (fascism) to win is for enough voters to stay home to allow MAGA to win.

More people failed to vote in 2024 than voted for Trump.

"Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005...

"Over the 20 years from 2005 to 2024 — the last year numbers are available — at least 4,913 CBP officers and Border Patrol agents have been arrested themselves"
Here's my full 50-page indictment of CBP and ICE and decades of corruption, abuse of force, racism, and misogyny. I promise you — however bad you've ever thought it was, the full reality is even worse, deadlier, and more corrupt. This isn't a "Trump only" phenomenon:
Thanks to @govpritzker.illinois.gov for setting up the Illinois Accountability Commission to document the abuses of Trump and Stephen Miller's invasions of cities. And thanks to @vermontgmg.bsky.social for this detailed testimony about CBP's history and culture: drive.google.com/file/d/1o4z6...

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.

The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia:

Federal agents hiding behind masks contributes to abuses. It signals no accountability. It lets agents know they can act as a nameless, faceless, camouflaged, armed abuser and nobody will know who did it. It is antithetical to everything this liberty loving country stands for.
