ICE just attempted an illegal entry into the ECUADORIAN CONSULATE to abduct someone

They did not have a warrant

I am seeing quite a few nurses calling for a nationwide strike over the killing of Alex Pretti. I think we are seeing one of the largest workforces being radicalized before our very eyes.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

I try to avoid hyperbole when it comes to Trump policies, but this is absolutely frickin’ insane—on about eleventy different levels.

Massive, systemic Fourth Amendment violations because … reasons.
ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door.

It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!

A reminder, while we wait on SCOTUS, that Trump's putative authority to unilaterally tariff is exclusive to the IEEPA. If Congressional Republicans wanted IEEPA curtailed, they could do so. Ergo, Republicans want these tariffs, and/or are too cowardly to counteract them. Remember that in November.

At least one thing remains the same about the new Cold War the Trump administration seems to crave: at every turn the UK will meekly accept the US wrong-footing them and making them look like the biggest suckers on the world stage.

If you're having issues, login to your modem. Put 192.168.0.1 in the address bar. Login name is probably admin and password should be on a sticker on the modem. In WAN settings, change to Static DNS and use 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 or both.
