The good news here is that we already have detention centers that they're very familiar with.
Even under a best case scenario — Dems take the WH in 2028, ICE and BP are abolished or rebuilt from scratch — we’re still going to have thousands of angry, unemployed, well-armed, MAGA loyalist former immigration cops who have been told for 3-4 years that they’re above the law.

At least that fucking abusive cult leader in Albany liked volleyball.
Apparently Epstein didn't have a single other hobby? Not one person was like, "Happy Birthday Jeff! Looking forward to playing some badminton!"

"the technoligarchy ... bankrolled Trump’s campaign, demolished regulators, installed themselves in positions to write policy for industries where they hold significant financial interests, and actively encouraged the destruction or defanging of any institution that might limit presidential power"
“WAGMI” — we're all gonna make it — was crypto's 2021 rallying cry. But those with wealth and power knew it was a lie, and that “all” just meant them. My latest traces the last five years from hype to technoligarchy — and why they're not all gonna make it either.
The year of technoligarchy
In 2025, Trump brought tech executives into power to dismantle regulators and write their own rules. But the instabilities they’re creating may be their downfall.

“The logic of MAGA … is racial authoritarianism. It is white supremacy. But the murders of Pretti and Good should be a stark warning that whiteness ceases to offer protection as soon as a person opposes this regime and its program of racial terror.”
Nick Fuentes called Alex Pretti a “race traitor” for opposing ICE.
I argue that sentiment is actually widespread on the MAGA right.

After Alex Pretti’s Murder, it’s Clear That MAGA Media Views White Liberals as Race Traitors
MAGA is committed to the belief that the people ICE is pursuing are inherently bad and that therefore opposing ICE is standing with criminals and rapists against the American people.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

These companies want to take everything that is required for people to communicate with one another and exercise our capacity to operate in a democracy and sell it back to us as automated algorithmic decision making that will ultimately penalize us for reasons we’re prevented from seeing.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

This isn't just cowardly, it's horrible politics. The people want action! This "better training for the guards at Dachau" shit won't work and won't win you a single vote!
Chuck Schumer just announced demands on DHS to avoid shutdown:
1. End roving patrols, tighten rules on warrants
2. Enforce accountability & unified code of conduct for agents
3. No more masks & require bodycams
There are *already* standards on much of this.
The issue is DHS isn't following them!

"The country stops at the border. And so the law stops at the border. And so for the tyrant an obvious move is to extend the border so that is everywhere, to turn the whole country as a border area, where no rules apply."
We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.

MAGAs are already defending ICE fascists by saying the man they killed today had a gun.
1. MN is an open carry state
2. The same MAGA bootlickers who claim we need unlimited guns to "prevent government tyranny" are the first ones to scream "OH MY GOD HE HAD A GUN" when tyrannical govt kills someone
