If we ever have a new gov't, the vastly increased prison spaces can be used to house everyone that was a part of this machinery until the day they die. This should be extrajudicial; outside of the legal system, and unaccountable. They can never be allowed to participate in society again.
We need to get it broadly understood that Stephen Miller's ethnic cleansing will result in a permanent metastasized immigrant carceral state and paramilitary warfare on US streets that goes on *for years.*
The internal logic of his agenda dictates this of necessity.

The list of innocent people murdered by agents of the state is far too long to list in a simple post.
None of these people ever received justice.
Here are a few to remember right now.
Alex Pretti (2026) - Executed for helping a woman and having a CCW near ICE.

We are far beyond body cameras Susan Collins. The murder in Minneapolis involved a man recording with his phone in clear sight along with numerous bystanders doing the same. ICE murdered him anyways. Impeach Noem. Abolish ICE. Prosecute the killers.

This is the man executed by ICE on January 24, 2026. A nurse at the VA hospital taking care of our country’s veterans.

Finally bought a coat. I've been getting by just fine with a nice sweater and a waterproof shell, but I need to work on my tractor tomorrow, and highs are supposed to be about 6°F, with windchill approx. -20.
Working in place is different than moving while working.

While I'm aware that it's not necessarily something that can be a part of a campaign platform, or explicitly stated, I hope that of either of you beat Collins that you will work to entirely dismantle DHS and ICE; gov't can't be trusted

My family went out for Chinese in Presque Isle after the service when my grandma died. I got the worst case of food poisoning I've ever had; I threw up on the plane, in La Guardia, all the way home.
The restaurant is closed now, the parking lot overgrown with weeds.
That feels like... Something.

The proper response from states would be to make it explicitly legal to use lethal force against *law enforcement* in cases where the Castle Doctrine would be in play.
Indiana has already done this.

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people.

Is it treason by any reasonable definition? Yes.
Does the president have near absolute immunity for actions taken in relation to the office of president? Also yes.
This is not a viable path to justice.

Trump has obviously been giving any and all intelligence Putin wants to him.
That is treason.
Trump should be more than impeached after we get the bastard out of office.
He should be tried for treason.

Quick note: this plays into Islamophobia. The Muslims I've personally met and known have been reasonable people that had no apparent interest in forcing their beliefs on others. (...Which is *not* true of evangelical Christians.)

Apparently the flushed complexion that's common in right wing douchecanoes *can* be caused by taking a vasodilator like Cialis, which is used to control benign prostatic hyperplasia, which, in turn, is a common side effect of long term steroid abuse due to increased levels of dihydrotestosterone.

Y'know what? Sure.
CA's gun laws wouldn't get a lot worse under Danish law, so it's pretty much all gain, no loss. CA should vote for it, and abandon the sinking ship before they get dragged under too.

Good on them.
That's an AR-15 pistol, perfectly legal. I can't tell what sight that is, but it looks like a very cheap red dot; I'd suggest replacing that, as the cheap ones don't hold zero well under recoil.
I'd also suggest some shooting mittens for him to keep his fingers warm. :)

No, I don't agree. Dems must refuse any bill that funds ICE at all. Not just stopping 'abuses of power'; ICE needs to be entirely dismantled, and every single member permanently blacklisted from any public or law enforcement office, anywhere.

Even with the INCREDIBLY LOW STANDARDS they have more, ICE still can't hire as many people as they exit.
Mull that over.
They're not even doing background checks, and they *STILL* can't fill the slots.

Well, sure, because it was "don't tread on ME", not, "don't let me tread on other people"; they don't want *their* rights trampled, but DGAF about the rights of other people.
Real talk: if rights aren't for EVERYONE, then it's not a right, but a privilege that can be taken at any time.

So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them

A headhunter just contacted me, and offered nearly twice my wage, but I'd have to relocate to North Carolina.
Yeah, it's tempting. It's a lot of money, more than I'll likely ever be offered again.
But I *really* love northern Maine. I want to work to live, not live to work.
