I understand why people dislike cops. But it's very important to recognize that ICE and DHS are not conducting themselves as cops. They are conducting themselves, at various moments, as an omnipresent secret police, and as a completely unaccountable invading army. Totally separate from policing.
ICE is not law enforcement, they are not police, they are paramilitary. Opposing ICE is not against law enforcement, it is not against police, it is against paramilitary.

CBP is looking for "quantum sensors" that it can use to detect fentanyl in cars. AI also obviously involved somehow some way. from @carolinehaskins.bsky.social

This is why Noem is full of shit when saying that all citizens should be prepared to present documentation. If they want to grab you they simply grab you.
This is a 16-year old girl who was carrying documentation and was pulled over with her documented friend, also 16. This is what they did to both.

Heads up, Chicagoans, these are right-wing influencers & agitators to watch out for at events. Many of these have recently been to the Broadview anti-ICE protests.

Right-wing traveling propagandist Jack Posobiec is big mad that people are being alerted to what his face looks like and told to NOT INTERACT.
He's a manipulative crybully who profits from harming real communities. Recognize him and avoid him.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Hard agree. It’s just wrong! There’s a reason my community is full of Latino and Hmong and Somali people, and it’s because another America does exist and has existed. A free and welcoming America we can return to
I've said this before, but "america was always fascist" is simply not an effective messaging strategy for fighting an american fascist movement. you should not cede them control of the national identity! that's what they want!
People who say this are clearly speaking aspirationally about a shared American creed they hold dear. “Have you heard of the Trail of Tears?” is not a very helpful response, because they probably have and the priority right now is moral opposition to fascism and not fake-educating each other.
