This is fine. Just fine.

Well your VP just got on tv this afternoon and told them they have absolute immunity to do what they like.

Gestapo with no oversight or consequences for murder, tend to do more murdering.

This is why it’s imperative that people keep filming ICE. Without video the admin and its thugs will lie.

Re Filming: Meanwhile this administration has been trying to make people believe that filming ICE is illegal and there have been several videos of ICEholes trying to grab phones out of people's hands.

Re Vance: He's also promising door-to-door sweeps in the near future. Which is going to present them with more opportunity to pull their bullshit with fewer bystanders to record.

Apparently beginning to release political prisoners. Hopefully this keeps up.

I think the saddest thing to see is how quickly the US has fallen into full-blown fascism. It hasn't been 100 years yet.

ICEtapo?

Even with filming, the regime is telling people to ignore the evidence of their eyes and ears.

[QuickTidal]

Yep. And I'm starting to see Americans on social media getting upset with being told to do something...and that they are protesting and organizing as much as they can and all that...and we're like "Cool, what has that done for you in the last TEN years that Trump and MAGA have been an issue?"

Like they aren't going to flip a switch and there will be a newspaper article one day that says "You're now in a civil war, and you are ruled by an authoritarian regime" to let you know this is it. This is it. You're in it. They are now killing and shooting unarmed American citizens in the streets with impunity and lying about it to your faces.

If you're not there now, then when?

Oh, and I saw a video of a cop kicking over the memorial to Renee Good...what the fuck is wrong with these people?

Sidebar: Who wants to take bets that all these ICE agents wearing masks to hide their identities are by and large the same people who REFUSED to wear masks in the pandemic?

[Maark Abbott]

Almost guaranteed, given they have a fetish for causing death and suffering to others.

[QuickTidal]

ICE Murderer of Renee Good, Jonathan Ross is an Iraq veteran and his wife is....wait for it...a Filipino immigrant.

I need to know what dinner conversations are like...how does he square that?

Does he think if he's part of the gestapo he's making her safe as they won't come for her (yet)? Or does he just hate her?

Both are plausible I imagine, with the latter more believable to me.

EDIT: BTW his delusional father reported these facts to try to defend him...which....it does the opposite for me...like dude, most Iraq war veterans can manage to not shoot innocent citizens in the head and kill them....

“Each act, each occasion, is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next. You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join with you in resisting somehow. But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That’s the difficulty. If the last and worst act of the whole regime had come immediately after the first and smallest, thousands, yes, millions would have been sufficiently shocked—if, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in ’43 had come immediately after the ‘German Firm’ stickers on the windows of non-Jewish shops in ’33. But of course this isn’t the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D.

And one day, too late, your principles, if you were ever sensible of them, all rush in upon you. The burden of self-deception has grown too heavy, and some minor incident, in my case my little boy, hardly more than a baby, saying ‘Jewish swine,’ collapses it all at once, and you see that everything, everything, has changed and changed completely under your nose. The world you live in—your nation, your people—is not the world you were born in at all."

The running theory is that ICE is made up of all the white supremacist groups that have gone all quiet recently (Proud Boys etc) and approximately 1500 Jan 6ers who have been pardoned and given a job...

This would not surprise me at all. In fact it aligns very well with the type of people who would have no problem doing reprehensible things for a tyrant. It may not be everyone one of the, but the overlap is probably large.

[QuickTidal]

I wonder what's next...I feel like it will be a mass casualty event amongst protesters where Federal agents just open fire is probably not too far off the mark at this point. With the fact that no one is being held accountable for the last two days and 3 shootings, and them being emboldened by Vance, thing's are only going to escalate.

Also, we don't talk enough about the lies and gaslighting the admin is doing about this...and how it's not for us...those of us who know it's a blatant lie, it's for the people on that side of the political spectrum to give them cover to keep believing that social order is still in play, because the truth that they are not ready to admit is that it's fascism time...the lies allow them to stay safely in the dark for longer. The Administration probably knows that if their MAGAt's turn on them over this, it will be less easy to keep everyone docile, so the lies are for MAGA.

[Tiste Simeon]

Re the lies and gaslighting, they know that there's enough people out there who will unquestioningly go to bat for them. So they provide the lines ("she's a domestic terrorist" and "she shouldn't have tried to run him over" etc) and millions of people will flood the narrative with those points. In the confusion they just keep doing their thing while everyone is arguing.
