First we tried to speak out at town halls and were suppressed. Massive No Kings rallies are ignored. Protestors are routinely gassed, targeted by less than lethal rounds. Observers executed in broad daylight.

Republican response- just let ICE do its job. Our taxes are funding a police state #art

Despite protests in small towns and cities across the US, the Trump administration is pushing ahead with the purchase of warehouses it plans to convert into immigration jails (concentration camps) in what could be the largest expansion of such detention capacity in US history.

Drilling rigs. Rising seas. Burning skies. This is “Tipping Point”, woodcut on paper, demanding we witness what we’d rather ignore.
This work in progress is one side of a diptych. Follow along next week as I print the “cool” companion blocks. Our drill, baby drill maga regime is a death cult #art

The skull mask worn by the Atomwaffen Division, a neo-Nazi group seen during the J6th attack on the Capitol and pardoned by Trump. Now citizens have documented men with this mask as part of ICE and Border Patrol.
what kind of background checks are done or is this what they are recruiting for? #art

Culture workers are not bending. Artists, musicians, comedians, and poets.
Trump forced to close the Kennedy Center because no creative will be caught performing or exhibiting since he declared himself director and renamed it after himself
This regime’s attack on the arts is destined to fail #art

Deescalation isn’t in our future. Protesters are gassed, observers killed, children held hostage and journalists arrested.
From a lifetime of litigation and bolstered by his Supreme Court’s immunity ruling, Trump is emboldened to ignore even fundamental constitutional rights. #art

Presidential Immunity. The SCOTUS 6 granted king-like powers to the president. Now unburdened by the checks and balances intended by founding fathers he careens wildly from arresting opponents, alienating allies, refusing court orders and the act of Congress to release the Epstein files. #art

Kavanaugh Stops. A careless commentary now taken as gospel by ICE, justifying their racial profiling.
In the real world and in the lived experience of dark skinned persons in America, there are no ‘brief’ encounters with the heavily armed, kited for urban warfare ICE.

The slow moving coup using DHS and ICE has nothing to do with immigration enforcement.
It’s retribution against Dem cities that didn’t support Trump, intimidation ahead of midterms and ethnic cleansing under the cover of law.
Even 2A advocates need to sweat recent comments from Trump &FBI. #art

The most chilling aspect of ICE is lack of information available to locate abductees
ICE has billionaire Thiel’s powerful data mining Palantir software at their disposal for use in targeting neighborhoods and individuals. Yet, once detained it seems to lose track of where people are sent. #art

Pocket size SS “Commandant” Bovino is out and “Bag of $$” Tom Homan, Border Czar, is in.
Minnesotans can breathe easy, the Trump solution to the out of control private ICE army is to put lipstick on the pig and carry on.
The optics are all about image control. ICE remains a death squad. #art

The testing ground for Bovino’s Operation At Large was Los Angeles. A California judge initially prohibited ICE/CBP’s most flagrant constitutional violations. SCOTUS overruled her 6–3, handing Bovino a blank check to inflict unspeakable brutality on Chicago and Minneapolis. The 6 bear so much blame.
BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The Border Patrol chief was the public face of a traveling immigration crackdown on cities governed by Democrats.

Independent sources and social media are awash with unedited video that we can draw our own conclusions from. Yet when Greg Bovino and his army of masked men are in town observers are treated as domestic terrorists. And are be dealt with lethal force. #art

Wrote about the observers. The people standing by and filming and the risk they are taking to let the world see what is happening. It's crucial and its the only way to combat the lies and blatant propaganda. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

People are risking their lives to document agents in Minneapolis.

Despite rhetoric from Noem and others, claiming Pretti was a gun waving leftist kamikaze charging law enforcement, multiple videos prove instead this was a murder. Many of us will act as Alex did; aiding a fallen woman, to protect, to attempt to deescalate the violence by these men.

The administration is out of control
Solidarity, particularly across race and class, is Kryptonite for authoritarian regimes. They can only thrive when their us v. them framing is adopted by society at large, and they join as active or passive collaborators with the regime. So the only response they have is to raise the cost of unity
They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence.

What have we become? Masked men, heavily armed, demanding papers, dragging people from their homes and cars. Arresting nine year old children. Pulling people from their asylum hearing before a judge can hear their cases. Executing protesters. Separating families for the shear cruelty of it? #art

Agitators and insurrectionists. These people are professionals! No person acts the way they act. They are highly trained to scream rant and rave, like lunatics, in a certain manner just like they are doing. They are troublemakers who should be thrown in jail or thrown out of the Country. DJT #art

1. In 2025, 32 people died in ICE custody.

That figure was the largest in more than two decades and tied for the highest number of deaths among ICE’s detainee population ever.

2026 is only three weeks old, and it’s already shaping up to be much worse.
In 2026, ICE detainees are dying at an alarming rate

Why won’t the GOP stop Trump’s Greenland madness? They know our NATO alliance will be broken.
When every Trump decision benefits Putin, what are we to think?
The only question is whether Secretary of Defense Hegseth has enough generals that will follow illegal orders and attack a NATO ally #art
