ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

I keep seeing this get posted. The AZ electors were charged a year and a half ago. The AZ Superior Court ENDED the case five months ago. The AZ AG will have to appeal to the AZ Supreme Court or go back and start again with a grand jury. Please stop sharing this.

ICE must be destroyed 🏳️‍⚧️🏴 @miawong.bsky.social · 4h

There's probably some historical precedent somewhere for ICE's strategy of arresting people's children for the sole purpose of drawing their parents out of hiding to come rescue them but I sure as fuck can't remember ever seeing anyone else do it

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Trump is saying if Democrats don't bend the knee and let him take health care away from millions, he's just going to turn around and inflict pain by firing American workers and withholding funding from our communities. That's not governing. That's a wannabe king taking hostages.

When we say “No Kings” this should include the nasty billionaires who use their money to control all media and the government.

Reporters: stop using the deferential term "detaining" when talking about ICE goons' abduction of innocent people from US streets. You proper term would indeed by "abduction", but if you want to pretend neutrality you could use "capture", which at least says nothing about the captors' motives.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!
