If that's true then how hard is it to say "ICE is tasked with immigration enforcement, not elections. If they are in the vicinity of a polling station it's coincidental and unrelated to election security"

EPIC TWEET. 🔥🔥🔥
NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons.
We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.
snyder.substack.com/p/ethnic-cle...Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)
Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.
Great work by Greg Sargent. We are, right now, deciding whether we want to be a land of giant concentration camps and ethnic cleanings.

Trump’s New “Prison Camp” Threat Unleashes Fury Even in MAGA Country
The next phase of ICE’s big ramp-up: a nationwide network of vast detention facilities. But guess what? Even parts of Red America are saying no.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.
They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

Rep. Beatty to Bessent after he refuses to answer a question about affordable housing: "No no. We're not gonna to do that with me. You get to hear my wrath that you refuse to answer a question under your authority, and yet you've talked about the value of housing and you're not releasing the funds."
I like his energy:
"If I have to become a Nazi hunter for the rest of my life, that's what I'm gonna do."
Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.
Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

Why we should worry that Trump's spy chief was spotted at an FBI raid of an election office
The incident is beyond suspicious. In fact, it’s a real-time flag of potential corruption — and the president's ambition to rig the coming elections.
ICE agents draw handguns on unarmed observers in Minneapolis for documenting their actions. Guns escalate fear, not safety. Pointing firearms at civilians enforces silence through terror. Congress keeps funding this behavior. Own it.
#FundHealthcareOverICEChris Murphy names the harm plainly: ICE is inflicting trauma and violence—Minneapolis to Texas, block by block. Families terrorized. Communities destabilized. This happens by design and by funding. Congress can stop feeding it today.
#FundHealthcareOverICE #SheshedThank you for taking one for the team. The rest of us don't need to watch this garbage film about a garbage person

This is the energy.
Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.
This is horrifying. Alex Pretti wasn’t killed by ‘bad apples’ or inexperienced agents. He was killed by seasoned CBP officers. This is what happens when an agency operates with impunity. If experienced agents believe they can get away with this, the problem isn’t individuals. It’s the system.
Everyone is at risk of

Business leaders, YOU are at risk.
Your business may be raided & even intentionally destroyed because you're a competitor with the regime or an adversary willing to pay off ICE thugs who think they have ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

💯 America’s secret sauce isn’t optimism. It’s refusal. An unwillingness to settle. To stop questioning power, systems, or outcomes that don’t feel just. We argue. We protest. We complain. Loudly. Not because we’re entitled, but because we believe things can be better and should be.
Abu Dhabi poured a secret $500 million into Trump’s company.
Then Abu Dhabi got the highest end AI chips that it had coveted (which could then go to China).
& the Trumps took steps to try to cover it up.
This should rank among the greatest US scandals ever
www.wsj.com/politics/pol...Chris Murphy on Fox News Sunday: "If you're a conservative in this country, you should care about the fact that your govt is intentionally hurting kids. You should care about the fact that this govt is violating the 4th, 2nd, and 1st Amendment every single day. This is a lawless administration."

Missing Joe and the steady hand on the tiller.
I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.
😢
Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps
This is so inspiring 🌱

Fucking disgusting
If a random neighbor had shot Keith Porter Jr., we wouldn’t be having a debate. We’d ask why he felt entitled to intervene instead of calling 911. What happened on New Year’s Eve, where an off-duty ICE agent ended Porter’s life, is the kind of self-appointed intervention that should alarm everyone.

Oh dear me no—he's not. The man is a serial sexual predator who has spent a lifetime committing property and violent crimes against 200+ people.
He caused 400,000+ deaths during the pandemic and felt no upset over that whatsoever.
As one of his biographers I *promise* you he's not rattled by this.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that all four people arrested today, including two journalists, were Black.
And now we find out the charge is “conspiracy to violate civil rights,” a statute rooted in the Ku Klux Klan Act.
Sit with that.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

The president took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he’s focused his second term on enriching himself and his family.
The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.
