This is f*cked up!

There isn’t any law in this country that requires you to provide proof of citizenship on the interior, but unfortunately ICE is racially profiling.

And they don’t care if you say you’re a US citizen.

So where does this leave everyone? If you don’t look white, you’re in danger.

PSA: Examples of a judicial warrant and an administrative warrant. ICE cannot enter your home with only an administrative warrant.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.

Take over major cities. Cause chaos and violence. Bring in even more federal agents to “suppress” violence.

Get folks scared to disrupt by killing a few activists here and there.

Man the polls with armed troops or “postpone” the ‘26 election entirely because of chaos and violence.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

MINNESOTA: “I’m Native American! This goes against everything I stand for.“

When you succumb to the cynicism, you are helping Trump. He wants you to think that all is lost, that he is all powerful, and that there is nothing we can do.

The fight for democracy is hard, but it is worth having. We have shown we can stand tall. We have shown we can win.
Many of you have become drama-addicted doomers, and you seem to think it's important for the rest of us to join you.

Yes, things are bad. But change is within our power. Grow up. Act like sober, responsible adults in a democracy instead of cynical, all-is-lost teenagers.

Now get off my lawn.

Trump talking about giving each person in Greenland $100,000 in US taxpayer money is incredibly America First. And he keeps sending fundraising emails to his cult promising them $2,000 checks if they send him money. At this point you can only conclude they like being hustled.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

1/2 🧵Tell an authoritarian how much you hate him, and he gets a surge of energy, and comes at you even stronger.

Publicly ridicule him...and laugh at him, it's like you wield a magical power.

Humiliation destabilizes authoritarians by stripping status...without triggering fear.

Stop falling for the “untrained” narrative.
NEW: Jonathan Ross is former National Guard and Border Patrol and has been part of ICE's SWAT equivalent, a team leader overseeing FBI, ATF, and IRS agents, and a firearms instructor, according to testimony obtained by WIRED. This is from @hudsongiles.bsky.social and me:
ICE Agent Who Reportedly Shot Renee Good Was a Firearms Trainer, Per Testimony
Jonathan Ross told a federal court in December about his professional background, including “hundreds” of encounters with drivers during enforcement actions, according to testimony obtained by WIRED.

The President of the United States is so desperate for a Nobel Peace Prize that he’ll take a used one. There is no one tackier and more unhinged.

You shouldn’t avoid protesting from fear of martial law, they should fear getting to the point that they’ll need to implement it. Don’t police your reactions, police their actions. They are the criminals not you.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time?
