People ask me why I quit being a lawyer. This is why. No desire to bash out my brains on the Blue Wall
It’s the 1990s. I’m trying to explain many abuses we see at Ruby Ridge and Waco reflect entrenched practices of law enforcement.
It’s the 2000s. I’m trying to explain many abuses we see under the PATRIOT ACT reflect entrenched practices of American law enforcement.
It’s 2025. Guess the fuck what.

Listen to Molly everybody
they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

The United States president has spent his entire life refusing to live up to the bargains he strikes. The world knows the truth that Mark Carney said aloud today. And like Canada, we as Americans need to accept it and choose our path forward. (Thread)

Mainers, check out this very well-organized Minnesota website to support resistance to ICE. It would be great if we had something like this. (I don't have the tech skills to do it myself.) Note that Minnesotans are also doing lots of trainings. #mepolitics www.standwithminnesota.com

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

Please read for an informed perspective on prosecution of police officers (which broadly also includes ICE thugs).
Here’s a comment for the people who are upset that MN hasn’t charged Jonathan Ross already:
If you just Leeeroy Jenkins this shit you will lose and you will empower fascism and murder.
It is indescribably hard to prosecute cops for murder. It is even hard when the murder is ON VIDEO.
