Dont be a dumbass. Youre on social media and the corporate powers already leak that stuff. Atop that Elon has all our info. The internet is forever. Unless youve managed to always remain anonymous they already know.

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

Donald Trump is calling for the jailing of his political opponents in Chicago. His DOJ lackeys have already indicted a NJ Congresswoman for conducting ICE facility oversight and James Comey. John Bolton's house was raided.

We must treat these latest threats seriously and all stand up against them.

Oh thank god.

I didnt want to get into the knitty gritty and pick at lil'bits when the issue was so ginormous, but when I heard they roped in, I thought, "Jesus, they have capable killers running immigration ops now."

Thank god it's just stupid murderers with money.

Silver linings, right?

ICE didn't fast-rope out of this thing. That's a pretty advanced military technique and would really be something for a group of fat cops.

It has a hoist.

The text from a tweet from @Lauren_N_Rod shows a photo with a description that reads A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

ICE isn’t law enforcement.

They’re chaos agents. Trump’s personal goon squad, recruited specifically to stoke fear and unrest in our communities.

They are a catalyst for him to claim absolute power.

Likening them to the Gestapo is accurate…and warranted.
