Bibi starts a war with Iran and so Trump is making it our war? All of these people who got mad at Biden for his restraint and now our kids are preparing to serve as Israel’s emergency backup. What happened to ‘no new wars’ or ‘Harris will have us fighting Iran?’ It won’t be their kids fighting.

This is exactly the right tone when privileged people suffer minor or temporary consequences standing up for powerless people. It’s still about the powerless people. ICE is Gestapo trash.

That’s a tough question. Resisting masked armed thugs in any circumstance can get you beaten or killed by the armed thugs. If the masked armed thugs are agents of the U.S. government it will also get you prosecuted for “assault on a federal officer” or “resisting arrest.” /1

Normalcy Bias is a huge problem. Especially in countries where you have every convenience imaginable. Many peoples brains just can't imagine things falling apart. The frog is in the pot, the water is just about boiling & the frog will have died doing nothing but wondering when the water will cool.

ICE does not like being filmed. We don't just mean a little bit. We mean they are terrified of it, hiding their faces from the camera like little kids. This can mean that inviting ample press (including broadcast) to your action is as much of a tactic as any other. Roaches scatter in the light.

🚨Stephen Miller gets his way. Just a few days after Ag. Sec. Rollins convinced Trump to briefly back down, quotas and indiscriminate raids are back. Farms, restaurants, and hotels are now subject to ICE raids again, with intense pressure on ICE to hit 3,000 arrests a day. Miller remains in charge.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

The armed, yellow-vested "peacekeepers" at the Utah 50501 protest in Salt Lake City opened fire into a crowd, hitting two people: A Sāmoan fashion designer with two young kids, who died. A second-generation Venezuelan immigrant and antiracist protester who was legally carrying. Cops charged HIM.

Only 61% opposition to "deporting undocumented immigrants to foreign prisons in El Salvador, Rwanda, or Libya, without allowing them to challenge their deportation in court." When I tell you that the rule of law is under attack, this is what I mean.

Over 75% of folks in ICE custody this year had no criminal record beyond immigration or traffic issues. Less than 10% had serious convictions. Fear sells, but facts matter. #ImmigrationTruth

I don't say this to downplay the protests. It's great to see people out there. What I am saying is that if people think peaceful protest once a month waiving a few signs will topple or hamstring the regime, they're sorely mistaken. You need something like euromaidan to put a stop to this.

So after terrorizing communities and ripping families apart with ICE raids at farms and restaurants, DHS is suddenly “pausing” because of labor gaps? Wild how the war on undocumented immigrants stops the second your rosé doesn’t pour itself and your salad’s missing veggies.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.
