Might not be a crime, but law doesn’t matter to the current administration nor the thugs they have emboldened and weaponized. The fact that Good’s murder isn’t even being investigated shows that the administration’s view is if you disagree with them your life is fair game from the taking.

We must stop not only Trump and ICE - We must stop Palantir and Thiel too.

I just quote posted a 🧵 on the mess w/CBP being given a laser weapon by Hegseth to try out for their operations along the southern border. There are a couple of different reasons this was both bad overall & just not a very smart thing to do. 1/

They are actively trying to take away American’s right to vote.
A) This is a lie. Other countries have it.
B) Trump uses it regularly.

Bottom line: They are afraid of you voting.

I do really wish more reporters would just ask "Speaker Johnson, do you think it’s appropriate for the Speaker of the House—third in line of succession to the presidency—to be so consistently unfamiliar with current events?"
Q: Rep. Jayapal accused the DOJ of tracking her search history. Is that appropriate conduct?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that

Q: Bondi had a piece of paper with Jayapal's search history

JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that but it would be inappropriate if it happened

If ICE still stands for "Immigration and Customs Enforcement" then why do Republicans want them anywhere near a polling location?
Because lawless ICE goons are harassing, arresting, and murdering people who are citizens, you idiot.

We need to stop treating Trump’s interference in midterms as a hypothetical. He’s already interfering with the vote, as I told @briantylercohen.bsky.social. ICE terrorizing blue cities, DOJ demanding voter rolls, FBI seizing ballots all intended as voter suppression www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNfH...

NEW: Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told Congress today that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked word of a raid, allowing gang members to clear out of apartments.

Those apartments were being cleared out weeks earlier.

Tonight, ICE deleted social media posts with the claim.

Using military lawyers to prosecute or adjudicate cases because civilian lawyers are resigning over ethical or legal concerns crosses a line.
JAGs Shouldn’t Be Civilian Prosecutors
The mass deportation policy is a legal mess—and reassigning military lawyers to support it would only create more problems.

So, like, wild theory here. But it kinda seems like, instead of draining the swamp, Trump was, in fact, a leader of the swamp! Annnnnd then when he got elected he appointed a bunch of his swampiest friends to key positions. 🤔
