How long before criminals start committing crimes claiming they’re ICE, FBI et al?

Cover your face, wear a Kevlar vest and carry a gun. Easy.

There’s a reason law enforcement has always worn insignia and identification.

There’s a reason the bad guys in Westerns wore their kerchiefs as a mask.
Can't California pass a state law requiring all law enforcement agents to display names and badges, barring masks, etc.?
Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.

ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Trump's brilliant negotiating has forced us to trade Ukrainian land we do not control in exchange for Ukrainian land we do.

I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

(1/X) People often say things like "why does Trump appeal to people?" The answer is simple: he tells them what they want to hear. He has no beliefs of his own so he has infinite flexibility to do so.

That is what narcissistic sociopaths are like. And that is why in any discussion of Trump...

I think Putin & Russia (i.e., those who started the war) should have to give up what is being asked of Zelensky:
- Natural resources (to pay for Ukrainian reconstruction)
- Territory (that it illegally seized)
- Hold elections (real ones)
- Putin willing to resign

Trump wants to see more than just a minerals deal to restart aid and intel to Ukraine
U.S. and Ukrainian officials are set to meet in Saudi Arabia this week, with Trump focused on Zelenskyy’s willingness to make concessions in negotiations.

Despite being warned many times, we weren't ready for Russia's attacks, and we're still not pushing back against nuclear bullying. We are as unprepared now as we were forty years ago when this British sitcom predicted everything.
