Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.
At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

Hiding their faces, hiding their names by using pens to hold their pocket flaps up, hiding their names. ICE agents have “consciousness of guilt,” know they are committing crimes. They need to be unmasked, named, and charged #UnmaskICE

I thought America had problems but I never realized that Trump truly destroyed it until I saw people willingly choosing to be British

A shocking number of ICE agents are suddenly wearing masks, but I'm sure it isn't because they are fucking gestapo nazis and they know they are breaking the law. It's probably just their commitment human health. I bet they just have a tickle in their throats going around, right?
Why are ICE agents masked to begin with? Our law enforcement officers shouldn’t be anonymous. Ever.

"Hey guys, Bill Gates is right" as a critical message for our time is leaving teenage-me very confused, but here we are, in the strangest timeline.
Bill Gates is calling out fellow tech billionaire Elon Musk over cuts made to US government spending under his watch through DOGE, saying the gutting of USAID would lead to millions of deaths around the world.
