If ICE agents didn't wear masks, they would be FAMOUS for all the wrong reasons. So if you wanna see mass resignations, prevent them from wearing masks.
That said, abolishing ICE is the only way to truly prevent more violence, harm and murder.

Zero. There just aren't that many of them, and their morale is shit. A lot of them aren't even getting paid.
What are the chances that ICE agents launch all full scale attack on the country?I mean like a revolution,would the military rebel & activate itself seeing the President & VP are compromised?

State vaccine requirements for school entry are absolutely essential if we have any hope of maintaining herd immunity.
It is madness for states to repeal these requirements. And vaccine exemptions should not be permitted unless for a documented medical contraindication.

The correct response to finding out that your grocery store coworker is an underemployed astrobiologist is not "Rock on! Do what ya gotta do", it's "Wow, that's terrible, we should run Russ Vought out of DC on a literal rail." Just fyi.

Women who took their spouses’ last names (& others with name changes) could get around the birth certificate problem by having or getting passports. But “getting” takes time & $$$, & Rs will likely slow down the process. Their bill doesn’t even offer to cover the expense, making it a poll tax.
The GOP’s new Voter Suppression bill, the so-called “SAVE Act,” would disenfranchise many of the 69 million women who took their husbands’ last names, as explained in my summary.
It proposes *no penalties* for erroneous voter purges but potential *prison time* for erroneous registrations. WTF?! 1/

Another batch of Trump's judicial nominees refused in their confirmation hearings today to publicly acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 election, which annoyed Sen. Richard Blumenthal enough for him to call them "monkeys" and "puppets"

This is one of the most important cases that galvanized Black people in the late 40s through the 1950s. Almost every major Black leader had a comment about it. It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.
On this day in 1948, an all-white jury sentenced a Black woman and two of her teenage sons to death for killing an armed white man in self-defense.
