Former military intelligence, I did the job that involves talking to people.
I took an oath to defend the constitution from enemies, both foreign and domestic. That includes the current republican regime. They are all my enemies.

The Minneapolis AFL-CIO calling for a general strike is a big deal and we should treat it like a big deal.

Former DHS Chief of Staff: This admin continues to say they have seen no instances of ICE agents operating against DHS policy. They are lying through their teeth. We have daily documentation of ICE officers not just violating DHS policy, but violating the law and the Constitution.

As a Californian, this is why we don’t want Newsom ‘28.
“He may be a smile demon, but he’s OUR smile demon!” True, but when you make a deal with the Devil, you’re going to get burned.
I enjoy his Trump-hatred & Press Office as much as the next guy, but he’s just not actually committed to justice

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

This guy was just trying to get home, ICE threw a smoke grenade in the car. his kids ended up inhaling unknown amounts of smoke.
This is how fascism functions. The boot does not care who it stomps, remember that

This is a critical point. What we're really witnessing is the *collapse* of law and order, brought about by Trump's lawless thugs. I think a lot of ordinary people intuitively understand that this is what's happening.
It is hard to explain institutional collapse to voters; videos where state actors are clearly acting in abusive ways explain themselves.
This is incredible: 81% of working class and 83% of young voters have seen video of Renee Good's killing, per new data I've obtained. Majority of working class disapproves of ICE enforcement. ICE brutality is breaking through big time.
