ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

Again, very strange to have US leaders bragging about war crimes on TV — especially since Vance’s unfunny joke is basically “we base our air strikes on such sketchy intel that we can’t figure out who is a fisherman and who is a drug smuggler,” which does appear to be true, BTW.

In our own era, Republicans have worked alongside white paramilitary orgs & weaponized law enforcement & the courts for decades, making democracy & dissent increasingly dangerous. Democrats have done almost nothing to counter these efforts. And that, my friends, is how democracy dies.

Step 1. Ban porn
Step 2. Declare any and all pro-LBGTQ content, regardless of how tame and safe it is, to be porn
3. Once queer people are completely censored move on to next minority to be oppressed.
It's such an obvious play that I can't believe anyone doesn't see it.

Taking $ meant to help the population and using it for mass incarceration is kind of the essence of authoritarian priorities and goals.
Scoop: Florida is building a detention facility for migrants nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz,” in the Everglades designed to help the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
DHS will help pay for the detention facility with money from FEMA.
