I do have one bone of contention, however: the media and public both need to stop referring to them as "federal agents" or "ICE agents". These are just masked men with guns. They may have some generic "police" patch on their mismatched gear, but we don't know who they really are. We don't know what agency they actually work for, if any. Their credentials as legitimate law enforcement are very much unknown. We do know that a lot of them are going to great effort to conceal their identity and even hide their tattoos. Now what could be wrong with their tattoos that they don't want anyone to see them? Some lightning bolts too closely spaced together, perhaps? Few too many shamrocks to be an "Irish thing"?

"Masked men with guns" are all they are, until proven otherwise. Assuming they have any authority at all is what they call "complying in advance". It's a key assumption for fascism to prosper. We need to stop doing that. It's bootlicker behavior and it's run rampant in this country ever since 9/11. Kyle Rittenhouse is another example.

Hot take: Dressing up in camo and shooting people is actually not very cool and not something to aspire to do yourself. That's not what "supporting the troops" means at all. You're just a psycho piece of shit mad at the world for your own failures. You don't look tough. Everyone thinks you look like a pathetic scared bitch that needs a gun to get any kind of respect. FYI for anyone confused about that.

Running around playing dress-up as a soldier and carrying a weapon does not make someone an authority figure. (yes I understand that looks like a pepper-ball gun. If that's "not a weapon" to anyone I suggest you prove it by letting someone shoot you in the face with one while driving and report back.)

Heh, yeah, hilarious that it's back again after he had it removed.

Pictured: An infamous greasy conman, money launderer, pedophile and child pimp, seen holding hands with Jeffrey Epstein.

MSM has clamped down on LA coverage of ICE hard, the trending story at the moment is about women charged with doxxing some "agents" - again, we don't really know who they are or under what command. They're ostensibly law enforcement, or claiming to be, so they don't have a right to anonymity & the case is going nowhere but it gets the opposition off the street and organizing. Meanwhile, another activist woman was abducted and beaten in an alleyway by ICE in LA - aka masked men with rifles in military fatigues, which is all that can be said for certain. They're ICE when it's convenient and Proud Boys or "persons unknown" when it's not.

My point is not just to highlight the ongoing crimes being committed, but more importantly how they are being committed. They're law enforcement when they're pointing guns at unarmed people recording them with cellphones, but not law enforcement when it comes time to testify as such in a courtroom or be held accountable for fuck-ups like running random people off the road for being brown. You'll notice a lack of charges being filed against all the so-called terrorists, which is a very common police tactic. If you do go to a protest be prepared, don't go hungry or thirsty or needing to take a shit any time soon. Get a permanent marker and write a contact number with their first name on your thigh or somewhere else covered up where medical personnel can find it. You may just be holding a sign and get hit in the head with a 40mm tear gas grenade. Young woman had her skull fractured by one, also in LA. If you need medicine make sure anything prescription is in a labeled bottle with your name on it - you definitely don't want to be carrying some unmarked pill because they will hold you longer making sure your (obvious) antibiotic or generic Advil isn't something illegal (yes they have test strips, but not for everything and no requirement to use them in your defense). Leave the cellphone in the car and avoid parking nearby if you can.

Even talking about it online is getting dicier now but fuck 'em, if fear is all they've got they've already lost, like they always have and will continue to lose, as pathetic fucking losers.. That's the whole point of their current white trash temper-tantrum, but no point going over all that again. If you have some feelings about all that you need to go figure that out on your own.

Just want people to understand it's only going to get worse and they'll eventually be coming for anyone that doesn't bow down. If you don't recognize what this is by now there's no use arguing about it.

Once again fuck the both-sides shit. Kristi Noem & Stephen Miller should be the ones caged, then studied by a team of scientists and doctors to understand why they are the way they are & how it might be prevented in the future. It's little comfort to understand that they don't hate anyone as much as they hate themselves.

If you think this stops at LA-Chicago-NYC-Houston-Phoenix-Dallas-Portland-Denver...

This is ethnic cleansing and it's only going to get worse. Another person was shot in Chicago and one in Phoenix. Media is barely reporting the escalating violence. When the Kent State moment inevitably happens will people be shocked and horrified like they were in 1970, or will they cheer on the deaths of "Antifa terrorists"?

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor” – Desmond Tutu

They're getting bolder with it.. Some other odd insignia have been spotted in LA but this is from Chicago (where Bovino has been repeatedly making Nazi salutes at protestors). Should we ask why this guy is aiming a rifle at unarmed protestors?

Just thought I should reiterate that this is a white supremacist militia enacting a program of ethnic cleansing by disappearing random people off the streets of our cities...

But sure, "the Democrats are just as bad" or whatever we need to tell ourselves to sleep at night... Something-something Bernie Sanders.. We are so far past that point the whole discussion over political parties in general is fucking comical.

here's another one of their weird patches if anyone can ID

just out here trafficking kids for Jesus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RaHoWa

In case anyone thinks it's hyperbole or some wackadoo conspiracy theory that "ICE" are kidnapping people and trafficking them:

https://www.newsweek.com/ice-agent-arrested-sex-trafficking-told-police-ice-boys-11071356

And before anyone says "oh those aren't ICE those are people pretending to be ICE" please explain to me what the difference is when it's your kid being disappeared.

About to start a war in Venezuela of all places, blowing up random fishing boats, masked goons are still disappearing non-whites off the streets of American cities...

Meanwhile he's set to pardon the former pres of Honduras? Convicted of helping traffic over 400 tons of cocaine into the US. Tell me again how any of this is about fighting crime.

What I haven't yet been able to find is what the payoff was.. How much TrumpCoin™️ did this guy have to buy? Where is the newest Trump Pedo Resort™️ being built in Honduras?

Most corrupt administration in US history.

Vance seems to think ICE has impudity; he's full of shit.

Walz, has deployed the National Guard to help law enforcement, not sure how that works if cops need to arrest ice. Could get ugly, but also not sure that cops would arrest ice.

Yeah, I mean.. "Help them" what? They're typically dealing with a dozen or so people hollering at them or filming them with cellphones. This requires a National Guard response because... ??

Agents of state violence are not going to protect us from state violence. All they're doing is legitimizing something that shouldn't be allowed to happen in the first place.

Bovino & his stormtroopers are going house to house kicking in doors in Minneapolis. Where's Walz?

The escalation will continue until something gives them an excuse to suspend the midterms.

Dems will wring their hands and remind everyone to "peacefully protest" so Trump doesn't have an excuse to do what he's already doing, and openly planned to do from the start. So much gaslighting from our fake, completely bought & sold opposition party.

Just an old man yelling at clouds again but some folks clearly need to hear this.. again:

If your response to abuse is "don't give them any excuse to abuse you further!" then you are a part of that abuse. This does not mean advocating violence. This means focusing the conversation and the blame on who is actually committing the violence and abuse, right now, and not in some hypothetical where the fault is somehow transferred to the victim. Let's stop doing that. Stop amplifying a message of fear and reprisal when people demand human rights. It is not helping.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Don't think they've ever been proven to meet a confident legal standard for "reasonable suspicion". Kind of like sniffer dogs. 50-60% accuracy in properly controlled testing.

Constitutional rights voided because a dog gets excited. 24/7 automated warrantless surveillance.

We live in a police state.

I got this article from the head of our Robotics Department.

Someone commented, "The goal of ICE is maximize detention. What best excuse than “the system said so”? Error mismatch is a feature, not a bug."

Her reply "agreed, but companies can be held accountable for misrepresenting their capabilities."

Can be held accountable. But won't be.

I suspect one can still sue these companies.

But as far as any regulation to prevent it in the first place, yeah not from this administration.

Saw tonight's Timberwolves game was postponed after the recent murder & it struck me.. If this single NBA team went on strike, it would have more visibility and a bigger impact than anything from the public. Kind of ridiculous, but I think it's true. It's something that couldn't be ignored.
