Sure, why not? Not like he’s got a day job he should be doing it anything.

Why work on reopening the government and getting workers paid when you can make silly announcements to chase trump’s approval full time instead.

Also, everyone there - ICE, protesters, onlookers - has camera phones. ICE has also been dragging around a film crew on occasion.

And yet, every video I’ve seen is of ICE being violent.

WHERE’S ALL THE VIDEO OF SCARY VIOLENT PROTESTERS CAUSING MAYHEM? Where’s the video of frog attacking cops?

Not only was trump president on January 6, he HAD BEEN president for a full 4 years at that point (and Biden never had been).

If trump had no control over his own FBI after a full four years in office, doesn’t say much about his leadership, does it?

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them.
Do NOT use stopice./org.

Weird that trump never denied having a single “planted” file at the time; he instead insisted he was allowed to have them, no?

Makes me think the rising unemployment rate is on purpose, to stoke resentment against immigrants - “there aren’t enough jobs for everyone, we need to deport immigrants so there are more jobs for you!”

Low unemployment (like we’ve had much of the last 4 years) makes that harder to argue.

That’s possible, but even that, the perfectly straight across printing of the bandana edge pattern over a face (with uneven bumps of nose and cheeks) seems weird, almost like the pattern is superimposed on a plain black mask or something.

I’m provably overthinking but it just looks super fake.

Yeah, I get that that’s what it’s supposed to be, but the pattern makes no sense. The corner of the pattern would be in a corner of the bandana fabric, there’s no way to fold it that has the corner in the middle of your face.

Ok only just noticed this, there’s no way that pattern on the “mask” makes sense, right?

Like, is the pattern superimposed on there or something? I’m so confused. I might have to go find the video.

If you're in Illinois and facing criminal charges from protesting ICE, or if you were attacked by ICE or law enforcement supporting them, I might be able to represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.

Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”

This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

Brad Lander @bradlander.bsky.social · 19d

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

He’s the only thing that makes me think the “med beds” for the elite thing might be real.

(Joking, obviously, but dang that might explain him still going.)

Heather in Milwaukee @heatherbob.bsky.social · 23d

Yeah, that’s what jumps out at me. If he (somehow) didn’t realize at the time how serious it was/how much he fucked up, he’d be groveling with apologies galore.

Instead he seems to be still making excuses and blowing it off. Thinks he was right. This is who he is and who you can expect him to be.

Does that apply to Fox News too?

You know, the network that insisted they’re not news but entertainment as a defense for why they lied so much about the election (a case I believe they lost)??

It’s not even just saying “he was a bad person”; posting a vile quote of something he actually really said, without any comment whatsoever, has gotten people fired, threatened, etc.

For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Of course. In their story (which appears to be nearly 100% fictional and has already changed several times), wouldn’t the trans roommate be the hero?

But somehow that still makes murder by a cis white guy the transgender person’s fault??

Same as trump attempt: they switch to a more generic “they.”

“They tried to kill trump!”

“They murdered Charlie Kirk!”

Keep it vague and keep implying the left had something to do with it without technically lying.
