The City of Philadelphia has introduced legislation to limited ICE in the city. The Federal Agents can not be masked, must have ID visible, must have arrested warrants signed by federal judges. They can't attack people. If they can't do this, they will be arrested.

Gotta say, it's very funny that the only instance of the word "formation" in this lengthy WIP that's very concerned with military and tactics is in a description of...lamps. A sign I should go back over some sections and punch up some descriptions...

every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.

RIP Greg Bovino. Cried into his pink slip, threw it on the floor, tried to kick it, tripped, fell on a stove, backed into a shelf, knocked a bucket onto his head, reached for a wall, grabbed a rabid dog, and then fell out a window into the world’s largest outdoor red ant farm.

When people who never admit they’re wrong have to do a backtrack even if it’s small that’s good, Bovino being demoted doesn’t mean it worked, it means it’s working.

they seem genuinely incapable of understanding that this isn't directed from the top down, that there isn't some massive silent majority there ready to welcome them, that people actually enjoy having immigrants as friends and neighbors
and most of all that fear will not keep the cities in line

The regime obviously thought they'd be able to take out a few dozen scary-queer-weirdo Antifa types in black masks and then successfully cow the rest of the Coastal Elite Liberal class into terrified silence: they were not expecting "totally fearless mass nonviolent resistance by entire cities."
It also sounds like at least some of them thought the cameras wouldn't matter because they were assuming that a couple of public executions would cause all of the resistance to run and hide.

Bro is crashing out in full tactical gear outside the lobby entrance of a Home2Suites and gave himself a bloody nose by gassing himself because of a noise demonstration.
Minneapolis, MN -
Very developing situation here. FPS agents ran into the hotel. Tear gas deployed. Hotel patrons forced to put their hands up. One agent’s nose bloodied.

Imagine this in a trial.
Devastating first-hand witness to Alex Pretti's killing
Declaration filed in federal court:
"I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."

abolish ice is just not a radical idea at this stage. it has majority approval in polls; it is the position of very much not radicals like Bill Kristol and Seth Moulton.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

The game plan: Subpoena her, drag her before Congress, make her repeat her venal lies under penalty of perjury
Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

they are manufacturing their justifications post-hoc. they are already doing what they want. you are not responsible for the actions of your oppressor. you are only responsible for keeping your neighbors safe and that will always be seen as defiance

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.
