ICE in Chicago detained two people (that we know of) for filming them today, a cyclist and a neighborhood rapid responder. This in addition to tear gassing another neighborhood and brandishing weapons at rapid response—both things that have also already been going on for weeks.

Can’t prove a counterfactual but I do sometimes wonder where we’d be if they had just stuck with “these fuckers are weird as hell” for like a few more weeks

I imagine Republicans plan to keep the government shut down for as long as it takes their Daddy to declare Martial Law.

Because that's the only thing that would allow any of them to return to DC without having to talk about Epstein, healthcare and tax cuts for their billionaire owners.

Unsure how many times I have to repeat it, but health care shouldn’t be for-profit.

Drug Rehabs Lure In Patients for Insurance Money—Then Leave Them on the Street

Operators promise high-end treatment, help addicts sign up for insurance then pile on charges for little in return, say former patients and insurers.

It’s really hard to get a picture of Ozzy and Casey, they’re young pups with boundless energy and always on the go! 🐾

But we managed this one, don’t they both look great? 💚

Because that's considered a form of doxing which might end you up in prison. But if you openly spread the personal information on a Democrat representative, it's OK.

I guess this probably isn't covered by the "mainstream", but ICE is where the pardoned J6ers and Proud Boys went to get jobs.

Amazing what people will do for money. Some choose brutal sadistic violence; some choose to cross a border.

i have a family member who was ice. Motivation: good salary, a pension, & retirement at 50. Moral dilemmas: not so much - they simply see anyone here illegally as a criminal deserving punnishment

They are kidnapping kids unaccompanied. The press has done a piss poor job alerting the public about this. Where are all these children going? What is happening to them behind closed doors?
There exactly ZERO people who work for ICE qualified to work with children.

a related question keeps me awake at night. where are all the air-shipped detainees going? they disappear, without any traces. mass graves in other countries? prisons? who transports them? there MUST be some links in the chain, some escapees, would you think?

Nah it seemed like ignorant people who bought into Republican propaganda and genuinely thought they were doing a good thing. Although yeah I’m sure there’s a large amount who just want to hurt people although didn’t want to say that in an interview

I think the most important takeaway point is that the border and the organizations that enforce it are basically factories for turning regular people into monsters.

I mean, definitely people doing evil things, but what makes it a disturbing read is that it's clear they're mostly just relatively normal people who have reasoned their way to being able to live with doing evil things.

Irene Vega recently published a book on how ICE agents navigate the moral dilemmas they encounter. It's good, and it's unsettling in that the dilemmas seem to be generally resolvable for them. It's called Bordering on Indifference.

This is a 12-year-old boy who was SHOT TWICE gathering food for his family and then BEATEN UNCONSCIOUS by Israeli forces in Gaza. He's just a kid. Soccer is his favorite sport. Lionel Messi is his hero.

A Palestinian child was being killed or injured every 10 minutes, according to UN agencies.
