thinking about how ICE's predecessor INS had a name that just didnt jibe with the new ethos. i mean "immigration and naturalization service"?? first of all, why even let people think naturalization was an option, and secondly, since when do we as a country provide services

Chip Berlet (1949-2026)
When neo-fascists began to be followed and recorded, it was Chip that was the one who made the first moves. He gave us the blueprint that antifascist researchers go by today. Thank you, Chip, we will take it from here.

Given how many 2000s emo guys turned out to be huge creeps I don’t think that one of them as an ICE agent is particularly surprising
Was this very mid-2000s emo person press-ganged into ICE servitude?

What the fuck is it with right-wingers and gleefully hurting dogs?
TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer.

This is why the 4th Amendment says “no person” — instead of “no citizen.”
If only citizens have rights, then no one has rights because all they have to do is say you’re not a citizen and then you have no right to prove otherwise.

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS.
Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse.

Ooh, just saw “without Asimov there would be no science fiction,” and no, you stale crouton, you waterlogged saltine, without Mary Shelley—harassed by her husband and Lord Byron—there would be no science fiction.
You’re confusing fandom for canon.

Whenever anyone mentions "purity tests" the only question worth asking, and you'll notice it's the only question they never answer, is "purity in regards to what?" They'll never give examples of what leftists should be expected to sacrifice to "win" because they're too craven to admit what it means

The fact that mainstream media stopped covering ICE kidnappings in LA isn't because ICE stopped kidnapping (they didn't)
Or ICE slowed down (they have actually increased their tempo)
Or that resistance to ICE slowed down (it never stopped, it grew)
It's the "political showdown" that stopped.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
