ICE and CBP cannot be reformed. Anything short of their full destruction, and a reckoning for their officers and agents, is not enough.
One citizen said that federal agents in Idaho pointed guns at her children, ages 6 and 8, and dragged her 14-year-old daughter out of a truck and zip-tied her.
The mother told investigators that an agent threatened to “fucking blow your head off.”

Same with TikTok. We were told it was a "national security" threat. But the forced divestiture wasn't about data privacy.
It was about transfer of ownership. Handing the algorithm to politically safe tech oligarchs ensures that the last algorithmic feed not under their thumb is brought to heel.

Now look at CBS. Installing Bari Weiss to run a news division isn’t a "pivot to the center." It is a deliberate hollowing out.
Take a legacy institution, gut its standards, wear its skin like a suit. They don’t want CBS's credibility; they want to destroy the idea that credible news exists at all.

There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it."
It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵

An ICE officer’s husband was arrested for impersonating an ICE officer using his wife’s marked vehicle.
That whole scenario is perplexing from her, not him, being the actual ICE agent.
I wonder just how many times he’s done this and why he’s not an ‘agent’ himself.

One of like three people who gave a shit about both Garcia and Khalil. I'd vote for him in 2028 just for that.
Today, I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his wife, Jennifer. In April, when I met with him in El Salvador, Trump said he would never set foot in the U.S. again.
This case has never been about one man alone; if the govt can violate the constitutional rights of one, all our rights are threatened.
