This why I vote Democrat.
I am voting for their futures not my dystopian past.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

This reminds me of when Reagan fired >30% of air traffic controllers, only worse because the number of people flying today is greater.
We need more.

In the Third Reich, Hitler’s will replaced German law. Whatever he wanted, he did.

Life in the early months of Trump’s second presidency hews to this framework in important respects.

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.

Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

🚨LIVE FROM TEXAS

It’s day 5 of a hearing on whether to block the Texas GOP’s new congressional map, which could give the party an edge in the midterms. Democracy Docket’s Jen Rice is one of the few reporters still on the ground, and the hand behind the whole scheme takes the stand this week👇

They just want to kill Americans.

2 people SUSPECTED of being gang members.
Children ziptied, separated from parents.
An entire building invaded & gutted.
Tell me how this is not fascist overreach.

Mrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 4d

ICE used HELICOPTERS and the raid "resulted in the arrest of two suspected gang members." *Suspected*

What makes this even more pathetic is that these two people arrested were probably *suspected* of being gang members solely because they're not white. And maybe had a tattoo honoring their mother.

DHS says an operation last week in which agents raided a Chicago apartment building, rappelled in from helicopters, broke down doors and detained numerous residents, resulted in the arrest of two suspected gang members.

The body slam seems to be the ICE preferred initial interaction.

tRump is shutting down the government to fire the people he intended to fire.
No labor data.
No inflation data.
Impossible to ascertain COLA for social security.
Dismantling government for billionaires.
