Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

No sweetie. He's not "delusional".

He was sending out a "message" to his 2nd Amendment people .

He was IDENTIFYING any people protesting as "terrorists". He only needs ONE person to believe him, and fire 600 rounds per minute at protesters.

I love you, but... just sayin.

Treason.
This isn’t a loophole.
This is treasonous and we demand an end to the self dealing on our backs. Fuck what MAGA thinks or voted for. No more.
This is treason.

Babylon didn’t fall from invasion—it collapsed under its own brutality. A golden idol demanded worship while the people suffered. Today, the horns are polished, the walls gilded, but the cruelty remains. Gold on the outside. Ash within.

I'm off to bed with my final thoughts about the current WAR zone going on in Portland.

1. The squirrel seems to be enjoying the festivities!
2. I'd like to see the Shark dance more, maybe prey a bit less.
3. I phuckin LOVE you all for showing the TRUTH to the world!

G'nite!
Thank You!

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!

Clearly Mississippi needs some federal troops to access the wanton violence at their high school football games.

Do Not Obey. We are Democracy. @zangerliberia.bsky.social · 3h

Better send in the military.
"At least eight people were killed across rural Mississippi after shootings broke out in three towns on Friday night and early Saturday morning during the heart of high school football season."

Diane was my role model in the 80's. I "finally" learned how to dress myself! So much class. As a matter of fact, she escalated my career further, after watching her in "Baby Boomer". I too, found a way to have both worlds. I'm going to miss her talent so much! So classy. So LOVED!

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Remember, decent people like us were traumatized seeing infants and children in cages forced to appear in court alone while separated from their parents.

America voted for a second, more violent and inhumane term.

America voted for this.

Stop pretending ICE just happened out of thin air.
