This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.
Well, here’s a link:

In Nixon's era, the Silent Majority trope was used to convey the point that many left-wing public protests were not broadly supported by the nation, according to polls.
But polls this month repeatedly show that the "vocal and violent minority" that vast majorities of Americans hate is ICE itself.

In evaluating the whining about “doxxing” — by which they mean identifying federal employees who killed someone under color of law - remember this administration cooperates with a large cadre of obedient bootlicker Right media that leaps to the tasks of viciously lying about anyone they kill.
Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Once again, immigration is not even a problem. Immigrants are not more criminal, they don't cost jobs, they don't harm the economy. There is no reason for any of this. It is hurting ourselves to hurt them.

Still can't believe they immediately put the officers who killed Pretti back in the field. Even if the shooting had been justified (it wasn't), it's just incredibly callous and reckless -- to the public, but also to the officers themselves. Just a sociopathic dearth of humanity.

Steph Curry on watching the protests from his hotel window: "In negative 10-degree weather. It was beautiful to see that turnout. That speaks to how important people felt to have their voice heard. In those elements and whatever streets outside our hotel, they were out, and it was amazing to watch."

Last year, I reported on a problematic NYPD unit led by a particularly problematic commander.
The commander once pointed a gun at a motorcyclist and threatened to kill him.
Well, that commander, Kaz Daughtry, has a new job.
He now works for Trump's DHS.
