“Cannot be saved.”
This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.
Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

Lest we forget, the current count is 12 and it's not "one offs," it's a pattern of state sponsored violence against us. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Trump's DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September. Here's what to know.
Federal agents have shot three people in Minneapolis in recent weeks, killing two U.S. citizens, Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Videos contradict the Trump administration's account of their deaths.

Guy on his way down hiking trail: Have a blessed day.

Me: May all have access to reproductive care.

He puts his beliefs on me, I do the same on him.

Got into the market at 8:00 with my list and left, finished, at 8:15. Now I’m sitting outside in the sun drinking coffee. Feeling smug.

I forgot something, didn’t I?

If Russell Vought wants a progress report on how his federal worker “trauma strategy” is performing, Virginia, who has the 2nd largest federal workforce, flipped 13 seats blue yesterday.

Visited about 10 artists’ studios at #openstudio in #santacruz. People persisting in making beauty and sharing their processes and spaces with us: awe inspiring.

“I never thought federal officers could behave this way. I really didn’t,” she said. “I always thought people must be provoking them or something, that they would never do this unprovoked. Obviously, I was wrong.”
I think this is an important read. This could be my own parents - NOT 'antifa,' NOT aggro. Just a couple octogenarians, one a Vietnam vet, who are concerned about the state of our country.

Will they be the next brutalized by our own forces in their small Oregon town?

SHOCKING. OUTRAGEOUS.
An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

I helped provide security at a local LGBTQIA2S+ conference for youth from 6-18 and their friends ups. Amazing experience seeing young people in such safety, peace, and joy.

@emilyinyourphone.bsky.social said it best: “Shutdown brinkmanship is one of my least favorite parts of modern politics, a manufactured crisis amongst people who are incapable of doing the bare minimum of their jobs, which is to make the government run.”

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

ICE Is Deporting People to Africa on Nearly Un-Trackable Military Flights
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is deporting people to African countries like Ghana on military flights that are nearly un-trackable.

The only reason you assassinate every Al Jazeera journalist left in Gaza is because you don’t want anyone to document the genocide you are about to accelerate.

Any politician and any journalist who cannot call this genocide for what it is, is complicit, and I hope history remembers you as such.
