tl;dw: ~25% of all posts about the incident are by fake accounts, to make you angry. Some w/ misinformation or fake pictures. Some looking for more ad revenue, but often foreign agents wanting to divide the US. Ask "Who benefits if I believe this immediately?"

So, not just ICE, but now also regular police are arresting people for exercising free speech? On camera?
What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?

Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

tl;dw: the invasion of Venezuela may be like the invasion of Poland - not just for resources, but also a place to build concentration camps to deport people to.

ICE is desperate.
This would be funny if it weren't so tragic.
People fleeing the US getting thrown in our concentration camps. :-(
ICE on the Texas/Mexico border stopping and kidnapping people attempting to leave the US.

tl;dw: the Epstein Ballroom is actually cover for a massive data center.
Is this real? The receipts she brings would prove it to me, but I don't have the time to verify them right now. Do you?

I find this both scary and heartening: they're targeting about half the country, which is scary. At the same time, they must be *so* scared to even try to do something like this. This will increase the resistance.

Bitte prüfen, ob du vielleicht auch PRÜF eine gute Sache findest.
In Deutschland wird Ordnung großgeschrieben, daher prüfen wir grundsätzlich alles, auch Parteien. Wenn eine Partei als rechtsextremer Verdachtsfall oder gesichert rechtsextrem eingestuft wird, sollte sie geprüft werden. Das ist der nächste logische Schritt.

Bei kaum einem Thema ist die Debatte von der Realität so abgekoppelt wie beim Bürgergeld.

Immer wieder stellen Politiker*innen fast aller Parteien in Talkshows das Bürgergeld als ein Riesenproblem dar und fantasieren wahnwitzige Einsparungen herbei.

Why am I not seeing anything about the Sumud Flotilla in my feed? They've apparently been intercepted and arrested, but information seems pretty sparse. Are there any protests happening?

I watched a video with a major thesis being that debate almost never changes anyone's mind (there's research that shows this).

I think it is time to post this again (~9 years old).
A disturbing implication (re Democracy vs. Dictatorship) is that the US oligarchs no longer consider the workers to be the source of wealth.
Might a General Strike be needed to show them the error of their ways?

People go to jail for crap like this.
That needs to happen here.
A plane removing a tail number is like a car removing a license plate. With the tail number, civilians, journalists, and immigration organizations can keep an eye on which deportation flights are leaving, and to where, and loved ones can track deported family members.

ICE Is Going to Sinister Lengths to Avoid Accountability
Planes used for deportation flights are flying without tail numbers so they’re harder for activists and watchdogs to track.

People said this would happen.
There's good reasons why most law enforcement must identify themselves. It should be all law enforcement.
CW: Sexual assault

In multiple states, men have impersonated ICE agents to kidnap and assault women.

This is one of many reasons we shouldn't have a masked, unaccountable secret police force roaming the streets. Our elected officials can and must act now: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po...

Zwar liegen aktuell die Posting-Aktivitäten rechter Akteure laut der Datenwissenschaftler von @polisphere bislang noch unterhalb des Levels, das bei der Kampagne von Brosius-Gersdorf erreicht wurde, doch trotzdem lässt sich deutlich erkennen:
