Ages ago on the porta-potty site I started #ThoughtfulThursday, hoping to encourage everyone to share nuggets of inspiration, wisdom & positivity, to make Thursday suck a little less. If you'd like me to bring this over here then drop a 💙& repost.

A reminder of what the Trump regime is actually doing, using a heavily armed paramilitary Gestapo force. Trump couldn’t get away with using the military against US citizens, so #ICE, with a bigger budget than #FBI, is doing it instead. Destabilizing blue states to cut off voting before the #Midterms
What is the endgame of these utterly lawless #ICE Gestapo actions? It is to set up a culture of fear IN US CITIZENS eligible to vote. It is also the same destabilization tactics that military intelligence officials like #MikeFlynn wrote about & used in Iraq, Afghanistan & other target populations.

They are a rogue force set upon the American people by the President. They have no legal right to do anything they are doing but they think they are only answerable to trump and sadly until Congress does something they are right.

The Trump regime is trying to cover up Good’s death by claiming immunity for the ICE agent, thinking that releasing the video would throw people off track. Ironically, the boomerang effect is complete, and their attempt at distraction comes across as an awkward admission.

This agency is out of control if leadership is no longer checking violations of constitutional rights. Congress absolutely must step in before more people are kidnapped/killed.
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Venezuelan soldiers claim US used mysterious weapon during raid to capture Nicolás Maduro:
"We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. We couldn't even stand up after that sonic weapon, or whatever it was."

It would be really cool if we posted this in the window of EVERY business and school and public space of the blue cities that these asshats are targeting.
Wherever they go, they should be followed by a loudspeaker van playing this information for EVERYONE to hear.

Reports and videos show ICE agents asking American citizens whether they’ve “learned their lesson over the last few days” are deeply troubling. Language like this implies intent and raises serious questions about premeditation and mindset on the scene.

NEW: These are ICE agents removing evidence from the shooter's home. They are not DOJ, they are Jonathan Ross's friends and coworkers, not DOJ.
This agent removing Ross's personal computer was reported yesterday Jan 9 for boxing in a volunteer and telling them "I'll dedicate my next arrest to you"

I broke the story yesterday that masked ICE agents (not DOJ) were removing items including a personal computer from the home of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot Renee Good. I have yet to see a single news outlet cover this or an elected official even acknowledge it.

DHS was created to FIGHT terrorists, not to BE terrorists. It needs to be defunded by congress in 2027, and we should select candidates who run on that platform.
