Weird that so many government employees and contractors feel compelled to hide their names, faces, and corporate logos when carrying out a policy they insist is just and right and moral.

This headline is a very good summation of trumpian authoritarianism: rule by fear and uncertainty. There is nothing you can do, no rules you can follow, no level of obsequiousness, that will protect you. The only option within your control is opposition.

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools.

Any open source gurus out there? (@bellingcat.com) A couple of clear shots of license plates in this video; it would be nice to know to whom these vehicles are registered. Are they really ICE? And even if so, one day rule of law will return and we’ll want to know who to hold responsible.
