- Reposted by Ivan GaytonI’ve been using the CIA World Factbook online since I was a little kid. What a stupid, pointless desecration.
- Reposted by Ivan GaytonAlthough ICE agents absolutely should not be wearing masks, acting like the brutality will stop because their faces are showing is quite naive. Police forces brutalize people all the time with their faces outs, name tags, badges and body cams. The only solution is no ICE.

- Reposted by Ivan Gaytonright now the floor for me is abolish ICE and put every agent on trial and the average elected democrat is like what if we told them to cut it out
- I have no military experience or knowledge so have no way of knowing, but this appears to be a compelling excoriation of ICE's tactics from a military point of view. TL:DR: pathetic if the goal is law enforcement, consistent with authoritarian "theory of control." www.wired.com/story/ice-pr...
- Reposted by Ivan GaytonIf there comes a day when police put their bodies between the feds with guns and their targets, I will praise the police for doing so. I don’t expect to see that day. It might even be a dangerous escalation. But until that day comes … I assume they are helping the feds.
- Wait, are you telling me that this guy who struts around in an obviously SS-style greatcoat somehow lacks respect for Jewish people? Who could possibly have seen that coming? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

- Reposted by Ivan GaytonYeah but what if the Melania movie was called Seven Samurai instead? And then when you went to see it they just showed you Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 masterpiece Seven Samurai? I bet you liberals would *love* it then. Typical.
- Reposted by Ivan GaytonFor decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

- Reposted by Ivan GaytonThe Senate bill is rooted in the idea that we just need to get BP/ICE "back to" only terrorizing people we deem worthy of being terrorized, and not White people. The exact problematic understanding people have been trying to warn against... While a lot of White people insisted that concern was silly

- Reposted by Ivan GaytonPiracy will remain inevitable for the foreseeable future because we do not have adequately robust digital archival technology. Every storage device on earth slowly fails/rots. You are not an antisocial, criminal force. You are doing your part serving as valuable cultural memory.
- Note from 1941 to the French Resistance from the US Democrat party: don't give the Vichy regime what they want by breaking laws, obstructing roadways, destroying property, or violently resisting the Nazi occupiers as they roam the streets rounding up and killing people. You must protest peacefully.
- Reposted by Ivan GaytonA reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
