The “if she had complied, she’d still be alive” line that we’re hearing from ICE defenders is the mantra of apologists for security forces in dictatorships through the ages.

Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.

So let me get this straight: The President’s plan to lower prices is to roll back some of his own tariffs?

That sound you hear is plaintiff lawyers popping champagne corks and DOJ lawyers groaning.
Q: How many layoffs have you authorized?
TRUMP: It'll be a lot. And it'll be Democrat-oriented.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?
If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?
Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

![from Kliph Nesteroff's OUTRAGEOUS:
A comedian named Werner Fink was performing in a Berlin nightclub in 1935 when it was raided by police. Reuters reported, "Werner Finck, one of the best-known vaudeville stars in Germany, has been put in a concentration camp for "pulling the leg' of Nazi leaders ... He has been detained since in a secret police prison in Berlin. His 70-year-old mother has been unable to obtain any information regarding his whereabouts.
Actress Käthe Dorsch learned Fink was incarcerated at the Esterwegen concentration camp. She met directly with Nazi minister Hermann Göring to secure his release, and the comedian was freed in 1936.
"You know, it's funny," said Finck. "I walked around the camp and saw the walls, guards with their guns, and the heavy gates. Everybody told me how hard it was to get in-but all I did was speak one sentence."
Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels called Berlin comedians "society rabble and intellectual snobs." Goebbels said, "There is plenty of humor in Germany, more than enough. But we do not permit ourselves to be ridiculed ... Such jokes make us wretch."
Five more comedians were banned "for publicly ridiculing Nazi party and state functionaries [and making] Nazi leaders the butts of their jokes."
"Comedians have no right to be jocular about such things as the Nazi four-year economic plan or Adolf Hitler's demand for colonies because they are too important and require too much careful thinking on the part of big minds," said Goebbels. The Nazis banned nearly all comedy-with the exception of anti-Semitic jokes and racist humor.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rt4rsqs66fyuw477an7i4dkr/bafkreiagx6gc47hwjfi67b4zv22ojbo5qpoycgoel5ttkq6xfub2suvkd4@jpeg)

ICE leaves their vehicles unattended a lot during raids.
They have to choose between leaving at least two or maybe even three guys behind to guard them or hoping nobody messes with them.
Just pointing out a thing folks might find interestin.
