MAGA has been trying to split Jews since day 1 and it’s part of their project to destroy the political influence of progressivism in this country
The Trump administration is trying to divide Jews from other marginalized communities at a time of rising antisemitism and fascism, by forcing Jews to choose between supporting ICE or rejecting federal security funding. It is an unacceptable choice,. www.jta.org/2026/02/11/i...
American synagogues are being forced into a terrible choice: Collaborate with ICE or risk our own safety - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
Jewish federations should fund security so synagogues don't have to accept the federal government's conditions, a Philadelphia rabbi urges.

Why, given the reality of the role, should ICE officers be armed at all?
If you truly want to re-imagine ICE, it’s not entirely clear why what is actually a civil matter — immigration enforcement — should be considered armed federal law enforcement at all? — @vermontgmg.bsky.social

ICE's Masks Are All a Lie
Working for ICE is actually less dangerous than being an elementary school student in America.

Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963.
The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"

Here's my full 50-page indictment of CBP and ICE and decades of corruption, abuse of force, racism, and misogyny. I promise you — however bad you've ever thought it was, the full reality is even worse, deadlier, and more corrupt. This isn't a "Trump only" phenomenon:

I have not received USPS delivery service since Friday or Saturday - before the snow began. I’ve never had the postal service skip delivery for days for a foot of snow. I guess they really killed the post office.

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

They read, "How many more will ICE murder? How many more funerals? How many more...how many more?"
