So:
1. Get close enough to get assaulted
2. Hope they don't snatch your phone
3. Hope they don't forward you to a page that grabs your phone's data.

That about cover it?
I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency.

ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?”

1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore.

2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions.

3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

Forgive me for thinking federal officers should be held to a slightly higher standard of behavior and accountability than some hypothetical immigrant.

Maybe now I can go back to enjoying a quite entertaining animated series that was produced by mostly not-assholes.

Sure, as long you consider subsidies to oil companies and other industries as "public assistance" as well.
Bessent: "For individuals who want to wire money out of the country, they're gonna have to tick a box whether they are or are not on public assistance. Then we're going to start pushing over the coming days and weeks that if you're on public assistance, you cannot wire money out of the country."

Folks on the ground are asking me to lift this up because the need is still growing, all around Minnesota.

If you can give, please do, and if you can't, please amplify!
Friends, thank you for stepping up! Over $40,000 worth of dash cams have been ordered so far for ICE observers in the Twin Cities!

Early orders are trickling in, but we’re getting them packed and deployed ASAFP - several were installed yesterday, these are ready, and 300+ are on the way!

Didn't take long for that peace prize to pay dividends.
The Supreme Court sets aside lower court decisions upholding convictions for bribery related to the FIFA scandal because the Trump administration decided to dismiss those criminal cases "in the interests of justice." The FIFA prosecution ends in a whimper. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

"Disrespect" shouldn't be a capital offense.
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"

Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

Trump posts that he’s “Acting President of Venezuela”
January 12, 2026 at 1:46 AM
Didn't we kill about a hundred Venezuelans and kidnap the president?

That's far from "just a quarantine of the oil".
Chris Wright: "President Trump's foreign policy has been very much about commerce and trade and not soldiers and guns. I mean, peace in the Middle East and now the trajectory of Venezuela is gonna be changed with just a quarantine of the oil."

I'm sure declaring the victim a "domestic terrorist" immediately afterwards with zero evidence will certainly cool the rhetoric.

The past few years have seen both sides go crazy over "think of the children". Democrats have signed onto some horrible legislation as a result.

Now that X is creating CSAM, where the fuck are the people that should be calling for the app stores to ban it? Where's the fervor they had for TikTok?

Then get them bodycams.
Tricia McLaughlin on why the ICE officer was filming with his phone as he shot and killed Renee Good: "Our law enforcement officers are trained to document when operations are impeded or there's assault happening"

Just imagine for one second if Biden had cut off funding outright for Texas or Florida because of "fraud" allegations.

The Right would be losing their shit. More than usual, that is.
at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

Considering how little regard he has for anyone but himself, a reporter should ask him to specify whose inauguration.

Over 70 years of post-WWII soft power and global influence is being pissed away at a remarkable pace and will never return, regardless of how well or how soon we move past the current administration.

As a country, the United States is no longer a reliable longterm ally.
We are closing ourselves off to the world. Every day this gets more frightening. Every minute.
