EXCLUSIVE: The SPLC indictment, the Klan history behind it, and the ignominy of Todd Blanche.
Another dark day for DOJ.
Tonight, at Law Dork:
ICE Detention Center
"The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction, esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted Ku Klux Klan Act.
Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute [SPLC] whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan." -- @sifill.bsky.social

'Commonsense guardrails' may be the most feckless, faith shattering talking point that senators employ when they are talking about ICE.
It tells you everything you need to know about their true feelings on kidnapping, forced deportations, family separations & anti-life policies like caging humans.
Oh the irony. When I worked for the Justice Department for 25 years, it was not unusual at all for DOJ's agencies to use paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups and criminals. I have no doubt it's still happening. It's a perfectly normal investigative tool.
I need some brave soul to go to every NFL media person who's talking about the Titans and ask them the simple question WHO IS CAM WARD THROWING TO?????????????????? HIS WR1 RIGHT NOW IS WAN'DALE ROBINSON!!!!!!!!! WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE????????????????????????????????
MOREOVER, ICE MUST BE DESTROYED
(2029)
GOP: noooo you can't send the DOJ and IRS after our groups THAT'S CHEATING 😭
Dems: Ha-ha! indictments machine goes brrrrrrr

Hello from the Surprise City Council meeting where most of the crowd is here to speak out against the proposed ICE concentration camp and the council’s refusal to put the detention center on the agenda as an action item like they said they would.
The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted KuKlux Klan Act.
Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute a storied civil rights organization whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan.
Planet Money writing about Joan Robinson is absolutely wild but there's just absolutely nothing here about the battle Joan and other heterodox economists waged against neo-classical economists and how they were driven from academia by
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Trump and Republicans are straight up Nazis. These planes are the equivalent to the boxcars in World War Two. Rape, torture, child abuse… ICE is made up of rednecks, racists, skinheads, Jan 6ers, Proud Boys and ex-cops. But all of them can now just be called Nazis. What a heinous country.
NEW: A Colorado DA has charged a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer with assault and criminal mischief after he allegedly pushed a woman to the ground and took her phone during a protest outside an ICE facility in Durango last year // Story by @katielang.bsky.social
Looks like the Democrats will be making changes at the federal level. Big changes
Like investigating EVERY CABINET MEMBER plus EVERY FINANCIAL TRANSACTION by Kushner
Putting a chokehold on EVERY CENT designated for ICE
And refusing to give EVEN A SINGLE DIME to illegal wars like Iran
BIG CHANGES
Woman dragged from car by ICE to sue. "‘I was carried face down... by my cuffed arms & legs while yelling that I had a brain injury & was disabled. ....I was never asked for ID, ...told I was under arrest, ...read my rights... [or]... charged with a crime.’" www.democracynow.org/2026/4/17/mi...
You can be sure that every one of these donors received either a pardon, a contract, a merger approved, a regulation rescinded, or a DOJ investigation dropped.
With Trump, everything is corruption.
Reminder that LOCAL ELECTIONS MATTER.
When ICE comes to your district to buy a warehouse to turn into a concentration camp, commissioners and city council members can make it difficult. Refusal to allow utilities, zoning rules, etc.
Vote on behalf of every human in danger of being detained.
Today is day 141 of the ICE occupation of MN.
This thread exemplifies the actions of ordinary Minnesotans, who have spent the last five months doing whatever is needed to help their immigrant neighbors - mostly be doing things they never would have imagined before!

day 1 we admit puerto rico
day 2 we triple the number of courts (and 5x the SCOTUS seats)
day 3 we sanction and impeach every single no vote on the impeachment of 2021.
day 4 we abolish ICE and begin De-Trumpification
day 5 the former cabinet is tried for treason
This indictment really is absurd. Trump’s DOJ and FBI are accusing the SPLC of sponsoring far-right extremism instead of combating it. Even though the FBI worked with SPLC to combat extremism until last year.
The indictment is ridiculous.

Re: Daredevil Born Again
Jessica Jones says fuck ICE.
so, to be clear: ICE has been doing neoStarlight Tours, if instead of taking natives a three hour walk out of town in -40° and ditching them there without their personal effects, to kill them, they drove folks hundreds of kilometers away and ditched them without their personal effects, to kill them.
