A quarter of people arrested in Maine’s ICE surge are challenging their detentions
The Trump administration described its surge as targeting criminals. Dozens have gone to court and told a different story.

Dictator wannabes don't want democracy. Dictator wannabes don't want a Congress. Dictator wannabes don't want judges to be impartial. This is not complicated.

The US is traumatizing thousands of kids in detention camps. But we are also traumatizing *millions* of kids who are in hiding or fear their parents being snatched.
Like how we have tens of thousands of kids who have survived school shootings, and a whole generation shaped by active shooter drills.

As early as 2002, Epstein was soliciting young girls. And this grew into a sex trafficking empire. How did this remain secret for over 20 years? I am astounded by the depravity of so many.

We're in a time in American history where the president of the United States is sending FBI agents out to help rig the midterms. This is not an administration, it's a mafia doing their dirty work for all to see & I am FURIOUS at everyone who helped normalize this level of crime in our government.

Dead kids didn’t matter. Endless school shootings didn’t matter. But a single liberal with a firearm? That broke the GOP.

People seem to have forgotten that the establishment of Homeland Security was highly controversial as it was seen as a danger to democracy. It was feared that it would one day be used AGAINST the American people. And here we are.

Federal agents hiding behind masks contributes to abuses. It signals no accountability. It lets agents know they can act as a nameless, faceless, camouflaged, armed abuser and nobody will know who did it. It is antithetical to everything this liberty loving country stands for.

It is profoundly sad that a white man's concealed carry guns rights is what is getting certain people to finally understand that the US government does not give a shit about laws or rights or lives. This is not a criticism of the victim. This is a criticism of the US's sympathies & priorities.

Be wary of those making posts about getting guns to defend yourself and your family. That is exactly what they want. So they can say you are engaging in domestic terrorism and then execute you. And maybe block those a-gun-will-save-you people as agents of the “fevered dreams of disordered minds”.
