By Natalie Andrews and Alex Leary

Treasury HQ is across the street from the White House. Trump is telling wmployees not to take pictures of the demolition and share them.

The Republicans' "plan to double the size of the ICE workforce has met a foe more powerful than any activist group. It is decimating new recruits at the agency's training academy in Georgia. It is the ICE personal-fitness test"

You gotta imagine how weird it felt to drive that backhoe today just looking back at everybody going “you sure about this everybody’s sure about this?”

*takes notes* 😃

Oh yes, they both reached for the gun, for the gun!"🎶

Holding them as indefinite wartime detainees at the military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, could have opened the door to a court’s reviewing whether this really is a war.

"...the seventh boat known to have been attacked since early September as part of the Trump administration’s use of the military to kill people suspected of smuggling drugs as if they were enemy soldiers in a war, rather than arresting them as criminals."

Dear Congress: Impeach and remove.

I still can’t figure out why people don’t just call it what it is.

It’s not “strikes”.

It’s not “military intervention”.

It’s not “a campaign”.

It’s murder.

Republicans in Congress: you can stop it all anytime. Any. Time.

K, my first instinct is to reply with a Gretchen Weiners GIF saying 'I'm such a good friend,' but I don't think that'll help me here 😄🫶

Wow. it's a joke. A quote from Ferris Bueller's Day off.
I've been re-posting about her not being seated for weeks.
No further comments are required here. Thank you 😃

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy, who knows this kid, who's going with a girl who said Mike Johnson better swear in Adelita Grijalva tomorrow.
I guess it's pretty serious. 😄

This Is Fascism

I know it’s a bit cringe as a meme but genuinely all this stuff has me thinking like “damn ok now I truly understand why the colonists in 1776 were so mad about redcoats occupying their streets”. Just having a bunch of aggressive stupid strangers running around causing trouble with no consequences

Vermont’s Bread and Puppet Theater is on tour with a mission to make ‘the revolution irresistible.’ A group of 15 artists is traveling to 33 U.S. cities to stage this year’s show, ‘Our Domestic Resurrection Revolution in Progress.’ This is one of their acts.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Boston being Boston. #nokings
