Why do ICE agents carry guns?
Not a single report of them being shot at!!
Not a single story about apprehending anyone with a gun!!
Take all weapons away from untrained, unrestrained, incompetent agents.
Do it for public safety.

“The US government is simply worse off with the loss of experienced employees. DOGE hollowed out promising new innovations, like Direct File, and pushed experienced and skilled technologists out. It cut employees even in cases where their work demonstrably paid for itself, such as the CFPB and IRS.”
New, from me: A year in, did DOGE deliver on its promises?
Not the promises it made to us (cut spending, modernize government, improve services). It worsened state capacity.
But it was part of a successful broligarchy exercise in state capture. 🧵

I made this video so we can talk about what ICE is actually doing in our cities. I have the details and you need to hear them. Please share this.
ICE isn't targeting criminals or even people here illegally. They are just making up the law - every day. Here's what's going on.

One of the reasons it is really important to push back hard on the investigations against people telling the military not to follow illegal orders is because when he invokes the Insurrection Act he is presumably going to be ordering the military to do illegal things and we want people to speak out.

.@PabloReports: Stephen Miller seems to be operating sort of as a shadow president at this point. Is there any legal liability he could face at the end of this presidency?

"ICE agents should just have badges and nameplates"
"Or, hear me out, how about a QR code that you have to have a phone for, and have to get up close to scan, and the officer has to hold still, and no one can ID them from even a short distance, and maybe it has malware in the code too?"

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.
