Unless I’m missing it, the December order barring ICE from illegally denying Members of Congress access at any time to their facilities has not been stayed.
ICE was violating the text of the law, now defying a court order.
ICE is incompatible w democratic governance. (CBP too.)

As i've said many times before: the worst male bully in your highschool became a cop. The worst female bully became a nurse.
Describing police as "fuckers who peaked in high school" is dead on.

Pop was a law enforcement officer. He knew most of the local police in the town we lived in. When I got my license at 16, he told me "Don't push these assholes, Tim. They're little men who are looking for a reason to hurt people. Do what they say. These fuckers peeked in high school."
Today's ICE.

Treaties ratified by the Senate have the same standing as federal laws btw. Invading Greenland is extremely illegal under *our own laws*
Cool, cool.
"According to sources, Trump has asked Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) to prepare the invasion plan, but it is being resisted by the joint chiefs of staff on the grounds that it would be illegal - and not be supported by Congress."

Everything happening now has a precedent. This is not new. Please understand that everything happening now is very American. The only change is that it is happening on camera to middle income white people. Ask BIPOC and low income white people about abuses by the state.

I honestly couldn't believe they actually stopped carrying it so I asked three different healthcare workers who all saw us separately just to make sure it wasn't one rogue nursing assistant or whatever.
Every single one of them looked embarrassed to confirm it.

Also, if you use the phrase, "my friends across the aisle," then please go ahead and walk down the aisle and out the door. Resign immediately. Your friends across the aisle are actively supporting Trump and his fascist regime who kill we the people.

This is so real, they tried it this morning in Bloomington. They stopped a man, people started honking horns, they split up to fuck with everyone else, which brought more attention and more noise, people got out of their cars and started filming, they left. They're cowards.
obviously not in the sense that it’s stopping everything, but they are being stalled so much by trying to find places where they aren’t watched, wasting so much manpower and resources on crowd control and even arresting observers they know will just get released. i am so proud of everyone

This is awful, and it happens on every single ICE flight, more than 40 a day.
There have been multiple emergency evacuations of ICE flights. One took SEVEN MINUTES, they are supposed to take 90 seconds.
An Avelo ICE plane did an emergency landing after depressurization in Nov.; 5 people injured.

Released detainees at our shelter say they were flown on ICE Air while shackled at the hands, waist, and ankles. They listened to the flight attendants safety briefing in disbelief-how could they evacuate, open exits, or put on oxygen masks while restrained? One said, ‘Anything happens, we’re dead.’
