ordinary americans are filming ice agents and trying to save their neighbors. for all the hemming and hawing during 2024 about how democracy was an elite concern, the elites gave up far more quickly than average people.
I’m parsing a quote & forgetting who said it(pls forgive me)’ Most americans don’t hate crime so much as they love punishment‘ We know how 2 lower crime thru funding basic services 4 ppl. But where’s the gleeful righteousness
In that.
can’t fathom the contortions corporations would rather do then just paying their fairshare in taxes&paying employees a living wage+benefits!! instead they’d rather be beholden to a fickle moron tyrant?! I can’t believe it‘s still financially wiser—never mind yr soul &dignity!?
it takes a minute but he gets to the real meat of it… yes this is visually representative BUT it’s really about killing in the Caribbean with impunity, jailing innocent ppl and creating posse’s ignoring due process and states right and on and in so many lawless and cruel acts
Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

All these people are saying “wait to you think he’s REALLY a Nazi,” and my response is “no I think it’s more likely he’s an irony-poisoned edgelord douchebro, another group that’s absolutely ruining the fucking country.”

The best time to abolish ICE would have been in 2021. The next best time is if we win in 2028. At this point, any Democrat unwilling to abolish ICE must be drummed out of the primary.
ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.
Even in a poor city like buffalo ny we had a local non-profit salvage demolition company that ppl used when they had to take down older buildings. To see all that smashed and needlessly wasted is gross and shameful besides the general affrontery of t-rump‘s actions.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

“.. They are the asylum seekers, the rule followers. They go into the federal building holding papers .. hoping for a measure of due process. Some leave the courthouse with a hearing date set months or years from now. Others disappear into ICE’s prison system.”

Wouldn't want to illustrate with a frame capture of the "brown liquid" drop, would we? This whole piece is a master class in dancing around obvious conclusions. [He dumped shit because he was sad and angry that all of his attempts to activate his violent base didn't bear fruit.]

You're not gonna believe this but @cbsnews.com appears to not have a story about some of the largest mass protests in American history anywhere on its main page.

I've been to some huge protests. I've been to protests where the speakers know what time it is. I've never been to a protest this big or where mainstream speakers know so well what time it is

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

ICE took a mother from our school today. She went to support her son at hearing. ICE took her for good measure. The bus driver knew mom was kidnapped. She always picked up the kids. Mom used her one phone call to beg Principal to save her children from ICE. We are a country run by a cruelty cult.

Once again, @govpritzker.illinois.gov's state police have attacked protesters while doing crowd control for ICE in Broadview. Pritzker positions himself as a Trump opponent, but he's doing ICE's dirty work in Broadview. It has to stop.

I would make it clear to the President that I'm willing to work with him on lowering the cost of living.

But if he comes for New Yorkers, he'll have to get through me.
