🚨🔥🚨There are no experts on the study of tyranny I respect more than Professor Timothy Snyder. When he speaks, we need to listen. This country is transitioning to authoritarianism and we are still talking about elections.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.

If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:

1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens

2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar

3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

ICE is changing tactics in Maine: "Now, the volunteers in Maine say federal agents have started showing up at their homes and intimidating them or threatening arrest. Some of them, masked and wearing tactical gear, have issued stark warnings not to follow them." www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

Any death in custody needs to be investigated as a potential homicide.
Victor Manuel Diaz, 36, was abducted in Minneapolis. He died in ICE’s El Paso detention camp 8 days later on Jan 14.

ICE calls it suicide.

They didn’t send his body to the El Paso County ME who just classified another “suicide” at that camp a homicide. They sent him to an army medical center.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.

Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.

AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.

Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Pam Bondi's letter to Minnesota on Saturday demanding the state's voter rolls is now showing up in court:
JUDGE: “It concerns me that Attorney General Bondi’s letter cites three things that are the subject of pending litigation before this court,” referring to the District of Minnesota.

"Is the executive trying to achieve a goal through force that it can't achieve through the Courts?"

ICE is occupying our communities, and women are organizing to stop them.
This week is about building power and skills through education, training, and pressure on the federal institutions enacting violence on our communities. Feminism teaches us that systems of violence rely on isolation. (1/3)

One thing that strikes me is how, in contrast to all the alpha male posturing of Trump and his coterie, or the ICE agents in their combat gear, real courage in the face of real danger is being demonstrated by a bunch of old ladies, nurses, and other assorted citizens on the streets of Minneapolis.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:

They keep talking about "cooperating with immigration enforcement" as if convoys of troops randomly interrogating and detaining people across the city and attacking bystanders with chemical weapons is just a totally normal part of how law enforcement works that we're all used to.
Alex Pretti did not “tragically die. He was murdered.

Not only that, but I think they're being treated and considered soldiers in wartime, fighting enemy combatants.

That's the frame of mind. You don't send soldiers home to recuperate after killing people. You congratulate them and send them back out.

Barbaric. They're killing their own civilians.

An important point here: admin leave is a necessary and expected minimum response after someone has been fatally shot, even in cases in which there is no real question that it was justified. You just took a life.

bsky.app/profile/toob...
Literally EVERYTHING else aside:

Officers involved in shootings - even shootings that everybody agrees were justified - always take time off to emotionally process their experience, go to therapy, process it.

Sending somebody right back out says "this is an everyday part of your job, expect it."
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting
