The present moment is no longer about politics, it's about ethics, which is more fundamental and universal than R v D or left v right.
There are people in this country who are aware of what time it is in American politics and those who are still living in the 1990s.
2025 is 1860.

The Trump crime family needs a secret police force to carry out their mass deportation goals. This authoritarian agenda requires violence, and they’re deliberately recruiting sadists who enjoy hurting people. And this is still the beginning. It’s headed to a dark place.
This is exactly right.
They haven't settled for dim brutes who blindly follow orders regardless of the law. That's what they want. That's what they got. There's no reforming or improving it now.
Democrats need to investigate, defund, and ultimately disband the president's brownshirt brigade.

People might argue that ICE is not recruiting quality agents.
But I would insist that they are in fact successfully recruiting the exact sort of person needed to carry out the mission: reactionary, angry, violent people who don’t believe in democracy.

in 1939 the fascists of the world threw down a single massive bet: that the free people of the world were as weak as they imagined us to be. that we were nations of shopkeepers, who would fold at one touch of the armored gauntlet from truly hard, deadly, motivated, manly men.

The doctor who was prevented from administering aid was indeed a medical doctor. He doesn't wish to speak to the media but I know his identity and can confirm the person who tried to help Renee Good and was prevented to by ICE is indeed an internal medicine doctor in Minnesota.
