Let's not let anyone get away with pretending ICE is at any disadvantage here. These guys travel in big packs- usually 6+ unmarked vehicles; carrying dozens of war zone ready men, masked and heavily armed. ICE is the predator going after regular people and peaceful protestors.

Jim Jordan after he's played clips from videos of ICE brutalizing people, including American citizens: "I don't know the specifics of those examples you gave. What I do know is these ICE agents are under tremendous pressure ... I think they're doing a good job."

Trump’s cold war against immigration rages on | Luis F. Carrasco

If @axios.com editors were honest with themselves, they'd spend some time examining Alex Thompson's routine reporting of stories that are spun to reflect poorly on Democrats. www.axios.com/2025/10/12/k...

The Kamala-Gavin rivalry is building to a possible 2028 showdown

Their public niceties cloud a longtime, behind-the-scenes tension that's beginning to surface as both weigh runs for president.

Educate me as a dumb Pennsylvanian. Why is it OK for his state troopers to rough up journalists (full disclosure: I an a journalist) and peaceful protesters? Explain why this is good

I would say, with more respect than your quoted twoot, that we don’t say “ACAB” because every cop is literally a bastard but because the problems with American policing are deeply structural. It is the job of cops in our society to rough up protesters and reporters.

All the defensive responses to this are basically "Pritzker doesnt control the cops!" which has some ring of truth but is actually a sign of a much bigger problem.

The first Dem Governor that truly puts up opposition, (instead of just yapping) including have state police both protect protestors and arrest ICE personnel illegally grabbing people off the streets will easily be the next Dem Prez nominee.
