I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

According to years of research we've done, there is actually no such thing as a "TikTok trend," and there never was. American elites were given a glimpse of what modern America looks and sounds like and it scared them so bad they went insane.

If you Google "inauguration day," you're greeted with an animation of fireworks forming the shape of the American flag. Google has never done something like this for the inauguration, sources told me, out of fear of appearing partisan. But that's changed now, with Sergey and Sundar attending.

Happening in North Carolina right now: A Republican who just lost a state supreme court election is using a horseshit legal theory cooked up by Republican activists to ask the Republican majority *on the same court he wants to join* to overturn his loss and make him a justice anyway
Republicans Do Not Think People Are Entitled to Elections Anymore
In North Carolina, Republican state supreme court justices will soon decide whether to overturn an election to seat a Republican who lost it.

Yes, I’m angry, watching the concept of women rebranded to weakness.
And people forgetting that they benefit from the hard work of queer people and immigrants.
I’m not saying we pick every fight with these sycophantic weirdos, but sometimes they need a reminder of who we are.
