I know it's cringe as fuck, but small acts of kindness are going to be so important for the foreseeable future.

Being kind and doing kind things can be your lifeline. It can keep you sane.
I don't want to alarm anyone, but the sky in DC is this eerie blue color instead of the usual gray and there is a giant white glowing orb up there.

This is a third-hand rumor, but I hear Glenn Youngkin will replace Kristi Noem soon.

I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency.

ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.

They gave that woman who used the N word to a child a half a million dollars, somebody better start a gofundme for this absolute hero toot sweet.
I DM'd him on Facebook to tell him his name had been released, and he may want to private his socials. His response was to change his PFP to this.

Absolute king shit, gives zero fucks

Honestly invalidate all Trump pardons of federal agents. You know they're coming, and I don't care what norms that violates.

ICE agents are fucking stealing and selling peoples’ PHONES

Maybe it's because I just started a new internship at a substance use disorder center but this seems... really weird.
New: CBS News seems to be preparing a new segment called "Whiskey Fridays with Tony Dokoupil," per sources.

Some staff were only first made aware of it as they encountered CBS testing out set designs of a faux-stocked bar in the newsroom, featuring a large sponsor banner for Jack Daniels.

None of this would be possible if you could sue violent agents for abusing you

welcome to the resistance [checks signatures] bill and hillary clinton
The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

Imagine that a cop shoots your wife in the face and the result is that the federal government tries to investigate YOU.

The evil continues to be unfathomable. I just don't understand how people can choose to be this way.

I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch.

It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

Not 100% sure, but I think Greg Bovino is in this video threatening a photographer with arrest.
I'm going to post the link to the video but not the actual video which autoplays and is utterly brutal. Instead I'm posting the photo of the man before ICE assaulted him.

"the sheriff immediately escalated the matter" see that's exactly the issue with you motherfuckers
By the way this press release you’d think the LASD deputy got attacked by a barista. Instead, it’s about someone allegedly drawing a pig on the deputy’s cup.

Well if they want to be in this country they should have come the right way (colonialism) instead of illegally crossing a land bridge during the last ice age.
After killing Renee Good, ICE fascists in Minneapolis have now arrested and detained 4 members of Oglala Sioux Tribe.

ICE HAS ARRESTED AND DETAINED INDIGENOUS AMERICANS.

These ICE fascists are not here to keep us safe, but to advance white supremacy. Defund and abolish ICE permanently.
