An ICE agent attempted to enter the Ecuadorian Consulate in Minneapolis, threatening the staff member who prevented him from entering.

Hello? ICE is so out of control that its agents think they can break international law.

Congress needs to rein them in yesterday.

The entire #DHS needs to go. It was formed in a paranoid response to 9/11, and they were trained by the IDF. We had a working system before, it's past time to go back to it. Americans are not inherently criminal and shouldn't be treated that way.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

In this month's newsletter: new study shows how universal basic income has been getting cheaper to implement since the 1960's—down from 9.35% of GDP to 2.67%—for a poverty obliterating UBI of $16k per adult and $8k per kid with a 50% marginal tax rate.

I also included some more recent pilot news.

I say again, this does not even approach a scintilla of the accountability that is required. These are PR moves.

So I guess this is why Labour have ignored #covidisairborne & campaigners asking for an upgrade to ffp3 in healthcare. They don’t want to follow WHO guidance or upgrade because they see facial recognition as more important than saving lives and preventing long covid.

When grand juries have been impaneled to hear testimony and evidence on the killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti, then we can begin to talk about the Trump admin doing something tangible. Until that, all this is just PR damage control that only the extremely naive will fall for.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

This was just me making this comparison yesterday, but today the Korean news is calling Minnesota "America's Gwangju" and have human rights lawyers explaining how America is now living through the dictatorship Korea once had.
The Chun regime that my wife fought against in the 80s did the exact same thing. They needed a "crisis" that "only they could solve" to hoard more ill-gotten power, so they chose one city (Gwangju), declared its inhabitants enemies, sent trucks full of soldiers to violently attack and kill them.

People at taken to Whipple are released into the cold in whatever they were wearing without their phones and IDs. Volunteers meet them at release (or find them left in parks and the woods) get them a burner, warm clothes, food, a ride home, etc

ICE took the flower man in Echo Park 40 minutes ago. He’s at this corner every day. I’ve bought flowers from the man and woman here for anniversaries and birthdays. Lemmy loves to smell them whenever we walk by in the mornings. I was just at the street corner 15 minutes before it happened. Fuck.
