Look at his eyes - pure panic.

These "federal agents" are like clumsy mall cops with guns. No training, no control, no clue.

It’s a miracle they haven’t shot each other yet.

They're a danger to the public.

“CBS first raised the ire of modern conservatives in the early 1950s, when it stood up to Sen. Joseph McCarthy at the height of his anticommunist witch hunts.” Great history by @ajbauer.bsky.social time.com/7318570/cbs-...

CBS Has Been in Conservative Sights for Decades

It was once deemed the "Communist Broadcasting System" by conservative activists.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Counterpoint: they voted for exactly this.
They might be occasionally uncomfortable with the openly sadistic violent aesthetic of fascism this administration takes such glee in (only aesthetically, mind) but this is what they voted for/what they want.
Rogan especially can stfu forever.

Rolling Stone @rollingstone.com · 2d

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 1d

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Bondi claims that the ICEBlock app was "criminal in that people were posting where ICE officers lived"

CBS reports ICE agents have repeatedly made fake 911 calls. Each time, police found no threat. In Illinois, that’s a felony.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

Grassley to Bondi: "It's all pointing out the wrong of using the power of government to go after people -- political people you don't like. We're pointing this all out because we can't have this repeated in the United States."

(He's somehow not talking about Trump ... )
