“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)
From Senator Chris McDaniel: “Lately, some folks have taken to calling ICE “the Gestapo.” It sounds fierce. It feels righteous. But it isn’t true, and it isn’t harmless. The Gestapo was a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything. The knock on the door was the sentence. ICE isn’t that. Not even close. ICE is a public agency enforcing laws passed by elected officials. Its agents file reports. They seek warrants. They lose cases. Judges stop them. Lawyers challenge them. Some detainees go home. That’s not tyranny. That’s bureaucracy, for better and worse. You can hate immigration policy. You can argue enforcement is too harsh, too sloppy, or too broad. You can work to have the law changed if you wish. That’s a republic doing what it’s supposed to do. But when you call ordinary law enforcement “the Gestapo,” you cheapen real evil. You turn history into a slogan and suffering into a metaphor. And once every badge is tyranny, no tyranny is left to recognize. In Mississippi, I was raised to believe words should earn their weight. This one hasn't yet. It throws around the language of dictatorship while living under a system where courts still rule, lawyers still argue, and the government still loses. That difference matters. Because the day enforcement becomes secret, unchecked, and answerable to no one, we won’t need to borrow names from history. We’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with. And we’ll wish we’d kept our words honest.”

All it would take is for a bunch of these CEOs to confront Trump in front of the world and tell him he's unfit to run a hot-dog stand, and his presidency would be over. Seriously.

But none of them has the balls to do it.

She nailed Jennings to the wall with this. Good for her.
Screenshot of an X post by Acyn. The post quotes a dialogue: “Jennings: Let’s not get our knickers in a twist here” followed by “McGowan” saying the attitude is “insane,” calling for bringing people down regardless of party, and alleging a “giant cabal” that doesn’t have to listen to the law. At the bottom is a TV clip still with a man on the left and a woman speaking on the right, with on-screen text including “SUDDEN REVERSAL.”

If the trigger happy psycho wanted to stop the vehicle, there are 4 tires to shoot.

Tires.

You shoot someone in the face if you want to murder them.

We should be ashamed and embarrassed to be a society in which people will willingingly, actively, point a loaded gun in the face of a fellow citizen.

A free society should be one where government employees don't put a gun to your face when you're exercising a core tenet of said society: free speech

Trump bragging about his $400 million ballroom and getting up to admire the construction site as he meets with oil company executives looking to plunder Venezuela with money from US taxpayers basically sums up this entire admin perfectly.

There is no law against following law enforcement from a distance and monitoring what they're doing. If there was, local TV news would go out of business pretty quickly!

In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.

They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

Stop the lies.

NEW: In a lawsuit filed earlier this month, plaintiffs who live in housing across the street from Portland's ICE facility today filed a preliminary injunction motion to bar the feds from shooting tear gas, etc., when not necessary, because it keeps entering their homes.
MOTION Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65, Plaintiffs move for a preliminary injunction to preclude Defendants from deploying tear gas, smoke grenades, and other chemical munitions that are likely to infiltrate Gray’s Landing and its apartments, unless the use of such munitions is necessary to protect against an imminent and concrete threat to the lives of federal officers or other persons. MEMORANDUM OF LAW INTRODUCTION The government’s actions in this case are shocking. Acting with pre-meditation—day after day, week after week, and month after month—federal officers have deployed massive amounts of tear gas, smoke grenades, and pepper balls directly toward and around Gray’s Landing, an affordable housing complex next to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland. Officers have done so repeatedly when faced with no violence from protesters or imminent risk of harm. Far from it; officers have deployed these munitions at times seemingly for target practice, and at other times for show. And the officers have taken these actions with deliberate indifference to the harmful effects on Gray’s Landing residents. Plaintiffs and other people in Gray’s Landing have suffered acute respiratory distress, horrible burning in their eyes and throats, dizziness, slurred speech, and episodes of PTSD due to the government’s actions. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials knew that the gas and smoke were causing such injuries, and they have kept using the munitions with abandon anyway. Plaintiffs seek a preliminary injunction so that they need not suffer any more harm from the federal government releasing poison gas into their homes. Defendants' conduct violates Plaintiffs' substantive due process rights to liberty and property. The government causing poisonous gas and chemicals to enter Plaintiffs' bodies violates their right to bodily integrity, which the Supreme Court has long recognized as a component of the right to liberty. The invasion of Plaintiffs' bodily integrity is severe and lasting, and Defendants have independently restrained Plaintiffs' liberty by curtailing their freedom of movement. And the repeated, sustained infiltration of gas and smoke into Gray's Landing has made it all-but-impossible for Plaintiffs to use and enjoy their property. Each of these infringements on Plaintiffs' substantive due process rights is the result of Defendants' deliberate indifference to Plaintiffs' plight, and therefore each violates the Fifth Amendment. Each time Defendants release chemicals into the air around Gray's Landing, Plaintiffs suffer irreparable harm. Defendants' actions make clear that they are likely to continue to deploy tear gas and other chemical munitions from the ICE facility in response to protests, which may occur at any moment. Plaintiffs should not be forced to suffer a single additional instance of breathing in chemicals in a manner the CDC describes as "poisoning." And the public certainly has an interest in stopping this unconscionable violation of constitutional rights.
