Extremist groups such as the Proud Boys have been oddly quiet during Trump’s nationwide ICE operations, Ali Breland reports. “We’ve kind of gotten what we want, right?” Enrique Tarrio, the group’s leader, told Breland.

They actually have been doing this some, I hear. But you know, losing TSA Precheck seems like a pretty okay sacrifice for grinding fascism into dust
And for folks now fearing “what if they revoke my TSA precheck,” well lately the precheck line at PHL is longer than the regular line, so... 😂😂
I’m so glad you went. I had many people ask me - “is it safe? Should I leave my phone and ID at home? Do I need an exit strategy?”
We’re building this bizarre and paranoid civic culture based almost entirely on miasmatic online fear endlessly feeding itself. Selma marchers didn’t even mask!

In other words, because the administration can't be trusted to follow the law, Congress should retain the power to cut off its funding at any time.
In ordinary times, this kind of approach would be insane. But these are insane times ….

Nixon had his missing 18 minutes, Trump has his missing 3 million pages.
Blanche on Epstein files: "The number of responsive pages is significantly smaller than the total number of pages initially collected. That's what we're releasing more than 3 million pages today and not the 6 million pages that we collected."

It appears several clergy were just arrested as they staged an anti-ICE protest in the Russell Rotunda in the U.S. Senate office building.
A number of faith leaders, who were in town urging Senators to vote against additional ICE funding, were led away by police: www.facebook.com/FIAnational/...

So I realize there are certainly local politicians who have this aim in practice, but has there ever been a political figure at the national level who openly declared their desire to make homeownership more expensive and unattainable?
Trump: "People that own their homes -- we're gonna keep them wealthy. We're gonna keep those prices up. We're not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that somebody who didn't work very hard can buy a home."

Greg Bovino is a thug and the worst type of law enforcement officer. He doesn’t believe his job is to serve and protect—he thinks it’s about exerting control and flexing power.
Here he is telling the men under his command—the same men who killed Alex Pretti—that Minneapolis is HIS city now.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.
They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

Periodic reminder that ICE still isn’t going after “hardened criminals”
We would all support that.
What do we gain from yanking this father away from his wife and child? What do we gain from deporting people who have been here for 20 years and never been in legal trouble?

Hi, what you saw in 2020 was states expanding access to mail in voting in response to the pandemic.
Republicans found out what happens when they make it easier for people to vote, and now they’re doing everything they can to stop that.
Hope that helps.

They might as well have told Iran they want four dragon eggs, one unicorn horn, and the fourth whisker of an albino Chupacabra.
Every one of these is a non-starter for Iran and the administration knows it.

We’ve sent a metric shit ton of hardware to the Middle East in the last 48 hrs.
The most significant force posture changes aside from the carrier strike group:
- more Growlers (electronic warfare platform)
- Combat Search and Rescue aircraft
- multiple C-17 transport aircraft
