- Reposted by John LloydI don't post enough about the other central pillar of my politics, aside from anti fascism: being anti car cars are bad in almost every way, especially in cities if you go to even large, bustling cities that are actually dense, they are quieter than US cities because you can get away from cars

They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

- We must reckon with our past, not erase the uncomfortable parts. Failure to reckon with the truth of our history is what has brought us to this moment.
- Yes, otherwise it’s rewarded and it will come back worse.

- The deportation industrial complex is very profitable, which is why the fight to ABOLISH ICE is going to require sustained effort.
- Reposted by John LloydTerrorism is the calculated use of violence or threat of violence to induce fear, intending to coerce governments or societies to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals. It often targets civilians and critical infrastructure to disrupt safety and advance specific agendas.
- Reposted by John LloydNews cycles are being manipulated to make people think a problem has been solved when it hasn’t. Bovino removed didn’t change anything but people have been tricked into thinking it did, so they move on. Same as it was. Know this. The situation in MN is as bad as it’s always been. Don’t forget them.

"It's hard to understand how we have a Constitution, Constitutional rights, when we can just be arrested for being a member of the press."

- Fascist police state. This isn’t going to be reformed with body cams. Abolish ICE. Rethink immigration policy.
- Fuck ICE
- Dems need new leadership. They’re just not up to this moment.
- Reposted by John LloydWhen the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?
- How do you “reform” this? Abolish ICE.
- Video shows ICE leaving behind an infant and broken glass after arresting a man with no criminal history. “There was a car seat in the back... There were broken glass shards all over it... There was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying.” My latest: www.pressherald.com/2026/01/28/i...
- Reposted by John LloydICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?
- I’m afraid most Dems will give Tillis what he wants: cosmetic reforms while mass detention/deportations continue.
- Reposted by John LloydIn theater. So they think they’re at war.
- I’ll accept his support for impeaching Noem, but let’s be clear, Tillis is pissed not because of the injustice of mass deportation and the violent actions of ICE/CBP agents, but because it’s causing a political backlash against his pet white nationalist ethnic cleansing project.

- Truly a lawless agency to its core. Withhold funding. Investigate and prosecute. Dismantle ICE and replace it after rethinking our entire approach to immigration.
- Reposted by John LloydThe Secretary of Homeland Security is asserting that the Deputy White House Chief of Staff ultimately bears responsibility for the murder of two American citizens, which is something that would normally generate a dozen congressional inquiries.
- Thanks, MAGA!
- Reposted by John LloydScrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.
