Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

The answer is in ICE's selection of targets: * Democratic politicians in public * Immigrants attending court hearings, at work, or at schools None of those people will be armed. On the flipside, ICE is scrupulously avoiding raids on cartel affiliates, drug dealing sites, etc. They might be armed.

ICE is using racial profiling and it was completely predictable. ICE (basically): “If they’re brown…we’ll hunt them down!”

The top .05% evade $120B in taxes, and employers steal $50B in wages from workers — each year. All other property theft totals $14B per year, with immigrants responsible for only a tiny fraction of that. CEOs & billionaires will always be a bigger threat to you than immigrants.

If Congress doesn’t fix the GENIUS Act, billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos could launch stablecoins that track your purchases, exploit your data, and squeeze out competitors. These billionaires will come begging for a taxpayer bailout when it inevitably blows up.

What if news reports about the US sounded more like Western media coverage of African, Middle Eastern, and Latin American countries?⁠ ⁠ Read @premthakker.bsky.social's latest column: zeteo.com/p/trump-amer...

Republicans passed a package that guts $9.4 BILLION in critical funding. They’re coming for global health, humanitarian aid, national security—& even PBS & NPR. Let me be real clear: What they’re cutting saves lives, keeps the world stable, and tells the truth.

Sen. Padilla, standing yards away: “I’m Sen. Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary…” DHS: “Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theatre and interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself or having his Senate security pin on as he lunged toward Secretary Noem.”

This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

Illinois follows the law — we expect the federal government to follow the law, too. We won't participate in abuses of power. We won't violate court orders. We won't ignore the Constitution. We won't defy the Supreme Court. We won't take away people’s right to peacefully protest.

Do you know what else was illegal and had severe life altering consequences? Hiding jews in your attic. Hiding escaped slaves. Sitting in a white only area. Not turning in your neighbours for being unhappy with the regime. People still did it.

This popped up in my feed. The sheer weight of everything hit me all at once and I cried for a bit at, well, everything. We must feel all our feelings: the fear, the sadness, the rage at the loss of what could have been. Now, we wipe our tears and get back to work. It’s our turn to stand guard.

“This could poll well with midterm swing voters in Ohio” I remark sagely as I watch a fourth grader get bundled into an unmarked van at recess by armed and masked agents of the state.
