Contrast that w/the grotesque display of *handpicked troops* at Ft Bragg as they cheered while Trump insulted the media & the prior president.
The *commanders* are scared of DUI Hegseth & choose careers over their oath to the Constitution.
That should scare everyone.

[Sarah] Streyder, of the Secure Families Initiative, said she had heard dozens of complaints indirectly through their families. She had also seen a written comment passed along to her organization from a national guard member who described the assignment as “shitty.”

We are about to find out if they simply file for an appeal or pay no mind.

You could argue that doing nothing allowed this "anti-brown people" movement to gain traction because it provided an easy target. Of course the ramifications hurt the very people (MAGA) who can't help voting against their own self-interest because of their racism.

The immigration/migrant labor system has been broken for decades. Our low prices are subsidized on the backs of the migrant labor, here documented or not.
Each Congress & admin kicks the can down the road rather than address the larger issue. Bizs stay quiet rather than rock the boat.

I wonder if Trump has enough of his rich friends crying about losing their "friends."

I wonder what he said, TEARS IN HIS EYES, to his "friend" as he was handcuffed loaded in the ICE paddy wagon...

At least we have an account that follows all of the ridiculous GOP criminal activities around the country:

There's no gray area left. The right wing has made sure of it. Our problem is that too many institutionalist Democrats want to find some fig leaf or goalpost to move so they don't have to say we are in a civil war.
I don't know what red line they're looking for.

Probably a whole lot of people know, given they were using their personal phones that are not secure! 🙄

ICE is going to pop off to someone else on private property who has been fully trained, & full-on believer in the 2A.

The mind blows just thinking about the endless list of ethical violations, corruption, and outright criming by the FELON & Co.
And he's not spent one second in prison.

They want this. Only one side is ready. Republicans/Heritage/Christian Nationalists/White Nationalists have been waiting for this chance. To instigate civil war. To declare martial law.
To ensure no change in power in 2026 or 2028.
Institutionalist Dems wake up.

@joshtpm.bsky.social, he's *a brown man* getting a little too loud in the room for the regime's fascist tastes. It's reflexive.
That's all they needed to drag him out (even as he identifies himself!), manhandle him, cuff him and treat him like a street criminal.
Welcome to 2025. More to come.
