Really feels like just telling military to draw up plans to invade an ally should be an impeachable offense regardless of party

The Trump crime family needs a secret police force to carry out their mass deportation goals. This authoritarian agenda requires violence, and they’re deliberately recruiting sadists who enjoy hurting people. And this is still the beginning. It’s headed to a dark place.
This is exactly right.
They haven't settled for dim brutes who blindly follow orders regardless of the law. That's what they want. That's what they got. There's no reforming or improving it now.
Democrats need to investigate, defund, and ultimately disband the president's brownshirt brigade.

People might argue that ICE is not recruiting quality agents.
But I would insist that they are in fact successfully recruiting the exact sort of person needed to carry out the mission: reactionary, angry, violent people who don’t believe in democracy.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

We have to be clear about what the Trump Administration is doing: They are taking basic American virtues and freedoms — the ability to speak truth to power and freely — and turning them into crimes. We must see through this.

The current ICE violence feels like the culmination of 10+ years of America manufacturing consent that’s led to increased racism, misogyny, transphobia, ignoring pandemics, enabling genocides, denying climate crisis. This shit is all connected and silence is complicity.

ICE has awarded a contract to Constellis Holdings, the successor to the notorious mercenary firm Blackwater.
The contract is for "skip tracing" to hunt down 1.5 million immigrants—and offering bounties for their locations.

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building.
Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.
The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.
