ICE’s aggressive tactics in American cities are being exposed with each social media post. NYU’s @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social says, “It is very empowering to be able to capture the truth at a time and in a place when truth has become a casualty of disinformation, of government propaganda.” #Velshi

ICE ramps up its aggressive tactics, and brutality is the point

ICE and other federal agents deploy aggressive tactics during their sweeps through America’s cities. NYU historian Ruth Ben Ghiat warns ICE has lost sight of what it’s supposed to be doing: “The goal is very different. It is to terrorize all Americans.” In times of rising authoritarianism, catching their brutality on camera is one way Americans are bearing witness to the truth.

Really fucking proud of everybody carrying American flags at the No Kings protest in Chicago. My buddy Joe Walsh talked about this yesterday. Let’s show them we love this country, that we’re patriotic, and that the flag belongs to us.

Two USAs. Two sets of laws: supporters of hate and bigotry, criminals, corrupt institutions n individuals have one set of laws and non supporters have another. This is America.

The lesson is clear: There is one set of laws for the president’s supporters, and another one for those who have run afoul of him.

The right to protest is rooted in the most American idea of all: the rejection of absolute rule. Our founders fought a revolution to ensure we would never bow to a king. Defending that principle through peaceful assembly is an act of patriotism. We’re not rejecting America; we're reclaiming it.
