From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

Your typical moderate is a nimby, they care about kitchen table issues (food, bills, wages) and it's how we lost the last presidential election and won the 2025. What part of that do people not understand?
the democrats are right we should focus on kitchen table issues. for example there is a guy at my kitchen table who wants to shoot me in the face with a gun

I personally believe if we want to try and dress up using AI gen to "speed up production" as if that is the real concern, we should instead be more okay with reusing already existing assets made by actual humans, rather than generating from a pool of stolen assets at a massive energy cost

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

Today, we were officially notified by USG that Pres Trump's memo that revoked my security clearance w/o due process is no longer in effect over me. My access eligibility to classified info has been restored.
On Dec 23, 2025, a federal court ruled his action was unconstitutional. Rule of Law wins!

They gave ICE drones, how long before they start using them to not just surveil people, but also using them to deploy tear gas and other deterrents?

We have seen this before in other nations, in other eras. The lesson is always the same: authoritarianism does not arrive all at once. It advances by inches, justified by emergencies, sanctified by fear, and enforced by those who convince themselves they are merely “following orders.” #ICEOUTforGood
ICE Trump regime agents kidnapped a 17 year old boy working at Target, the regime thugs beat and tortured him then dropped him off 9 minutes away from his job site when they realized he was a US citizen, he was bloodied and bruised when witnesses helped him.

That's why he also fawns over Dictator Bukele and the prisons there
One thing I think people should keep in mind as ICE transitions into a state-sponsored death squad is that this isn’t just Stephen Miller taking advantage of a senile old man, it’s also clearly an outcome Trump has desired for a long time.
This was back in 2017.

You notice how thousands and thousands of cops aren't coming out to condemn Jonathan Ross for senselessly killing Renee Good?
This is what people mean by "all cops are bastards". If this were any other profession, the entire group would condemn it. With cops it's the reverse, they all justify it.

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."
