The more I think about this, the angrier I get. It takes a particularly virulent strain of sociopathy to sit and let hard-working people serve you a meal knowing that you plan to arrest them and send them off for deportation once they're off of work.

Really depraved shit.
A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.

Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.

jd vance would sell his *own* children for a percocet if he thought it would get him closer to the presidency
NEW: JD Vance supported US strikes on Iran this week and reasoned that Trump had to enforce his own red line, per sources. It was a surprise role reversal for a politician who built his identity on opposing Middle East wars with a loose connection to core US interests

But it is the toothless congress that is letting him get away with this lawlessness.

NPR just referred to the Trump regime’s “willingness to push the boundaries of the law.”
Trump keeps breaking laws, and the media keep saying he’s *almost* breaking laws.

ICE 'Not Welcome' Says Maine Governor as Reports Point to State as Trump's Next Target
Maine Gov. Janet Mills stands firm against Trump administration's plan to send federal agents, including ICE, to cities like Portland and Lewiston. Will Maine residents stand up against this threat to their civil rights and safety?

If you aren't already boycotting Target, start NOW.
From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

Yes, ICE is a Gestapo-like police force compromised largely of white supremacists who were unable to obtain jobs in traditional law enforcement. But so many of the anti-ICE people I talk to are like the worst wine moms . I have never felt more politically homeless.

ICE was just going up & down central getting out their cars with pepper spray and guns, but we had so many legal observers it made a huge difference.

If you’re vulnerable at all we are asking you stay inside today & remember don’t open your door without seeing a judicial warrant signed by a judge.

A most excellent post. The author coined the best description of the liberal press yet: a “stale toolbox”. Yes, talking to you David Brooks, et all. And aimed right at your centrist heart @congressmannion.bsky.social. Your instincts are tired and outdated. You are not up to the moment. #NY22

The fact that all these second amendment "we need ahr guns to resist guvment overreach" losers are now cheering on ICE versus citizens who are standing up to the government (with NO weapons) tells you everything you need to know about the hollowness of their ideology. Sad little scared boys.
