When government agents choose to mask themselves, use 5 year olds as bait, send people to countries where they don’t know the language, separate families and so on, the consequence of that is to be compared (rightly) to the gestapo. When they murder citizens, they prove the point.
That's why I keep talking about a strategic, organized national strike. That is where we have power OVER THEM.
I am not the one to organize but with growing calls from all of us, orgs like Indivisible *will* offer up effective plans of action.
We have to call for it. Please call for it repeatedly.
Homeland Security v @DHSgov•14h It is absolutely sickening to compare ICE law enforcement agents to the Gestapo. Attacks and demonization of ICE and our partners is wrong. ICE officers are now facing a 413% increase in assaults. Our message is clear: DO NOT come to this country illegally. If you do, we will arrest you, deport you and you will never return.
Why is the comparison wrong? What about ICE or how ICE operates demonstrates that it’s wrong?
I hope Kid Rock has a good lawyer.
See, it's funny cuz it's true. 🤣
(also: #sad) 😞

Well, it's a good Boxing Day when Mike Flynn loses against me in court, again.
Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor.
Party of Family Values, am I right?
Community note for the win!
If you’re A-Ok with Trump pardoning war criminals, rapists, traitors, spousal abusers, insurrectionists and business cheats, but outraged by Joe Biden pardoning his formerly drug addicted, now recovering, civilian son, congratulations — you are an idiot, an asshole and you’re in a fucking cult.
Georgia President Salome Zourabichvili backs protests
Georgia's President Salome Zourabichvili:
"no one can take away Georgia’s independence, no one can return Georgia to Russia, and no one can deprive Georgia of its will and its European future" #georgiaprotest
We stand with Georgia!
Georgia 👀🇬🇪
Everyone who uses this construction speaks as if state-ordered discrimination against us is a hypothetical they pledge to one day oppose rather than a priority of a currently-ascendant fascist movement and the topic of a Supreme Court case that's four days away
It feels wonderful to have been welcomed by so many of you here on BlueSky... especially the sticking it to Leon part. 😛
This is incredibly disturbing and goes against every rule of war, international law, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and the very ethic of the military. A disciplined military goes to every length to prevent civilian deaths and having a SecDef who doesn't care is unacceptable.
BREAKING: Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg just recommended that Judge Merchan hold off on sentencing in the election interference "hush money" trial in New York.''
So, no accountability AT ALL??? NONE?!?!?
I am so fucking mad right now, I don't have words.
This should terrify every American. It doesn’t matter where you stand on immigration. Using our military as a domestic law enforcement tool at mass scale will destroy its core purpose, turn the American people against them, and damage the institution for decades.
In a couple weeks you're all going to meet the 16-year-old trans girl who's challenge to a ban on gender-affirming medical care is being heard at SCOTUS and I'm going to need you all to 1) be loud and thankful for how badass she's being and 2) fight for her like your life depends on it
I'm a trans mom too. I'm furious and sad. My other son is non-verbal autistic. I'm at a loss.
