It's so considerate of ICE to run this public service announcement telling the resistance the best way to tie up maximum ICE resources.
An online ad for ICE recruitment showing a set of handcuffs and the headline: Number of law enforcement  officers needed to arrest a criminal  alien. The body of the administration shows that 8 to 10 officers are needed in 'Uncooperative Jurisdictions' versus 2 officers in 'Cooperative Jurisdictions.' The rest of the ad text is basically commentary on the main point.

Fixed your headline, Guardian:

Democrats accept shutdown to stop Republicans from making Trump's drastic health care cuts permanent

Democrats say Trump budget 'decimates' healthcare for 20 million Americans; Republicans falsely claim Dems will give federally paid healthcare to 'illegal aliens'
Side by side photos of Democratic and Republican Senate leaders. Both have a stern look on their face.

' I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational. '

This Media Matters transcript was the original source for that 2023 Charlie Kirk quote about gun violence and gun control that's erupted all over the interwebs today.

I don't imagine that the fact that Utah gave Trump 59% of its vote in 2024 has anything to do with it, do you? (Provo County gave Trump 68%.)

I notice that neither Trump or any regime officials are responding to Charlie Kirk's shooting by calling Provo a hellhole city or threatening to to send National Guard troops to quell all the criminal activity there.

If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the planned ICE HQ in North Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

Monarez is playing her weak hand perfectly, and should be a model for institutional resistance for the next four years:
1. Make them fire you
2. Don’t go along to get along
3. Don’t apologize, have confidence in your own integrity and the importance of your role
4. Always escalate the conflict

Take a look. Not ICE. Just ordinary “officer friendlies” doing what this country allows them to do to unarmed Black men. Remember?

As promised, in light of the WaPo report of Everglades camp detainees being swarmed by mosquitoes in the shower and unable to sleep at night due to being bitten, I want to briefly address concentration camp history and mosquitoes. I won't be comprehensive but will give a few examples. [1/17]

Bass: I just signed an executive directive that puts all city departments and leadership on notice to protect Angelenos—essentially from the federal government.

We’re also filing a FOIA request because we want to know: Who are these masked men, and why are they masked in the first place?

This is literally "Your papers, please." It's Stasi shit. That's what Homan is declaring, here.

Anyone who "looks foreign" is subject to detainment and harassment. Fail to persuade ICE thugs of your citizenship, and you risk arrest.

And we've all seen video of what happens if you try to turn away.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

I knew we were cooked as a society when everyone just sorta decided they were sick of dealing with Covid and everyone just decided to pretend like it wasn't a thing anymore.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!
