Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...
ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested
There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

14 US states have abortion bans, leading to a rise in maternal and infant mortality. Global experience shows that criminalizing abortion doesn't increase birth rates - it risks women’s health and lives, making it harder to obtain legal medical care and forcing them into clandestine abortions.

In early December 2025, a law came into force in Texas banning the sale of medication abortion drugs to residents. Since the summer of 2022, when the U.S. Supreme Court allowed states to set their own...

THOUSANDS of men and women have died for this country because they were told they were DEFENDING DEMOCRACY.

The GOP members of congress will not even risk their jobs to save our country. Think about that. They risk nothing more than have to find another job after the next election.

America allowed race-obsessed Apartheid era South Africans like Musk and German libertarian nihilists like Thiel to destroy relationships with its closest allies in a year.

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.

Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.

Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

For every non-detained person murdered by ICE, there are many more facing abuse and murder outside of the public eye. DHS is expanding these abusive detention centers walled off the public eye. I’ve had the chance to speak to a former constituent who was able to get out bcs he had a good lawyer.

In a democracy we the voters need to take responsibility for who we vote for.
The same is true for the media we use.

Elections haven't always been fair in America.

We've suffered Poll taxes, writing tests, intimidation, misinformation and straight up cheating in multiple elections over the life of our country.

And progress still came.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.
