ICE agent shoves a home security camera as she approaches a home. Masks aren't enough. They don't want you to have any record of their behavior. Even the tiniest threat of accountability is too much. Keep recording anyway.

The mass firing of immigration judges by the Justice Department isn’t just about immigration — it’s a blueprint for replacing civil servants with political loyalists (via Bloomberg Opinion)
Firing Immigration Judges Threatens More Than Immigrants
The Trump administration’s latest outrage is firing immigration judges and replacing them with military lawyers who lack experience in immigration law. The move combines two of President Donald Trump’s signature initiatives: It’s part of his war on immigrants and also part of his effort to make civil servants obey the administration’s policies — or be fired.

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

There is virtually no fed criminal law for wealthy people in America right now. Doesn’t exist. Trump’s DOJ either drops their charges or he pardons them. Anyone can buy their way out of prison for the right price on any charge, with crime victims left shattered with no justice.

Before the American Revolution, Native nations guarded their societies against tyranny
Native American communities were elaborate consensus democracies, many of which had survived for generations because of careful attention to checking and balancing power.
