But of course.

Now we wait for the incitement to violence from ICE/police towards protesters or minority groups for their pre-planned justification for it.

Don't give them what they want.

Ever.

Mike Johnson’s position is young pregnant American women shouldn’t have to wait before being turned away to die in the parking lot from an ectopic pregnancy the hospital is afraid to treat

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

it's become painful
to laser in on reality
i used to curse my faulty eyes
now i'm glad i have the option
of soft focus
i'll chance the sharp edge
of the coffee table or the embrace
of the doorframe
rather than stare into
the circles of hell wrapping us
in the ugliest history has
to offer

These guys make a habit of only saying DEI because saying you are against diversity, equality and inclusion makes you sound like a cartoon villain.

And it never fails, no engineers...civil or otherwise. Just infantry. That's it.

What consistently boggles my mind about these intra-state Guard deployments is that the numbers never match the claim of urgency. "Portland is burning down" so you are sending... two, maybe three companies?

Every time I read something like this, I remember "Jade Helm"...

Republican "leadership" has no moral imperative to stand against -actual- tyranny. For them Everything is, and has always been, performative.

Moreso if they believe they can personally profit from the performance.

Statement from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.
We must now start calling this what it is: Trump's Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state's military troops.
I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.
The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

How about we just get rid of ICE altogether?

It's that way on purpose, for the reasons you're thinking of.

They Want us to fear them and anyone who looks like them. They'll keep pushing until there's nothing left to lose by those they target with that fear. Then they'll claim innocence and "just following orders" like that means anything.

Hachi @hachi19.bsky.social · 3d

Aah...but protesting the same place/people habitually leads to patterns being recognized and disrupted by The State.

If you're talking about decentralized protests, the protests themselves become much easier to infiltrate by State-sanctioned provocateurs.

The fun part is...anyone with a functioning brain could have predicted that the same people who bombed the world trade center in '93 would have a predilection towards the Exact same target.

Oh look, he's stealing alex jones' bit about predicting 9/11 using almost the exact same premise.

The only difference: trump didn't have his people edit together multiple clips to make him seem like a "prophet". Trump just lied about it.

You're not the first I've heard say that, and certainly not the last.

Religious trauma is absolutely real...and it lends it's "benefits" readily to cults of personality. It allows megachurch pastors to abuse children with near absolute impunity, and does the same to political figures.

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

Petitioner’s counsel has requested documentation of a judicial warrant for his arrest, any charging documents, or other authority supporting his detention. See Santiago Decl. ¶¶ 18–20. ICE has provided no response. Id. To date, ICE has not placed Petitioner in removal proceedings, charged him with violating immigration law, set bond, issued a Notice to Appear, or otherwise processed him. See Pet. ¶¶ 16, 49. In Respondent’s Opposition brief, the government states “ICE intends to take further action consistent with the laws prescribed under the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) once Petitioner is released from medical care and it can conduct the examination as [prescribed] in 8 C.F.R § 287.3.” Opp. at 4. Neither Petitioner nor Respondents have provided the Court with information about Petitioner’s citizenship, whether he has violated any law or regulation, or any information that would suggest that Petitioner is a flight risk.
