Most DHS departments shut down at midnight because Democrats say ICE's abuses must be halted.
ICE suspended two agents for lying under oath about the shooting of a man in Minneapolis. But suspending federal agents who shoot someone and lie about it is not enough.
Agents are following protesters home and rousting them where they live. ICE subpoenaed top tech companies today demanding the identities of hundreds of social media users criticizing them online.
Their detention facilities are inhumane, according to Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who made a surprise visit to one in Baltimore where 60 men were packed into a single room with one toilet and no showers. The room set aside for dangerous criminals was empty.
Things may soon get worse with ICE spending $38 billion to convert industrial spaces like warehouses into 92,000 detention cells.
Your senators are at home in their states now and don't return for nine more days. Call them, show up at their offices. Write if nothing else. They need to hear from you that ICE needs to be corralled now.

Seriously I need anyone with any kind of pull in their own govts (ie the white and landowning men) to refuse to work with the United States and instead insist on working with literally any of the recognized tribal govts

#14 , #22 Chickenshit Texas_as usual.

#16 You're feared by your own citizens, you oompa loompa fucktard! The rest of the world thinks youre a bad joke! Apart from the bigots creaming their frillies and wishing they had the numbers to do the same thing.
DidCatchABreak
Awful. Thank you, George
KuroNeko00
This is a great time to just shutter DHS permanently. It should never have been created in the first place and has long outlived any usefulness it had.
bertchstudio
#12 another fkn goose chase because they can't fathom that we don't operate like they do.
But they're gonna keep ducking up thinking we do, and that would be *hilarious*, if it didn't result in people dying of their stupid
People dying of stupid is the part they didn't put in Idiocracy because it's too depressing.
piratecaptainwendy
Destroy ICE. Remove all it's supporters from power. _All_ of them. Get rid of Homeland. Completely. There is no way forward until this is done.
NoodlesDOTExe
Friendly reminder!

Someone will have statues made of them, hopefully.

#10 & #24 - 2026 Republican voter restriction has begun. Next USPS will throttle vote by mail ballots. Do we have to establish that the mail in ballots belong to a US citizen?
TheImgurWarsMadeMe
Is no one else looking at #9 and saying that it absolutely wasn't an accident?
HPCmonkey
7. This is the point where you should be able to exercise your 2nd amendment rights. By that point they are no longer acting in any official capacity and are a danger to the health of you and yours.

If they attempt to enter the homes of the protestors, then I think according to MN's laws regarding castle doctrine & duty to retreat they could. I wouldn't want to see that tested by any individual given how deep CBP/ICE roll and their comply or die mindset.
PuzzledCompletely
Thank you.
GeorgeBounacos
I'm sure I look something look that on many mornings, but how stinking adorable.
sqow
Thank you, OP.
Suspension for murder, public threats from masked secret police, using the SSA for entrapment, data being collected from what amounts to the largest privatized data-collection apparatus so that it can be weaponized against our own citizens… Things are feeling fucked beyond salvage.
LittleAzie
I want to know what judge signed those subpoenas, because they shouldn't be a judge if they can't see the gross unconstitutionality of it.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
#1 A regime change in America would be an even better thing. Unlike Iran, they're not just a regional threat.
piratecaptainwendy
As an American, I say amen. But then I've been saying that since the 90s On some level this has been coming since Waco and Ruby Ridge. It just got "mainstreamed" after 9/11. The Evil of Old Men Who WIll Not Die seems unlimited.
PennysWorthOfTea
On a related note, my new anti-anxiety meds seem to be working quite well. I rarely begin hyperventilating anymore after reading your daily headlines.
GeorgeBounacos
That's great news, but you may need to bring enough for the entire thread.
MeestowKitty
#7 THAT is why peaceful protesting is not going to solve this. Their sheer willingness to harass, harm, and intimidate.
and #10, look at that. The coveted Mid-Terms that we keep being told will fix everything, and why no one should be violent are in REAL danger of not really happening.
piratecaptainwendy
At this point I just mentally tune out whenever anyone in a discussion says “mid-terms.” Like the Epstein files, people think these are somehow going to be magical fixes.
They aren’t.
MeestowKitty
It's because they are JUST comfortable enough to want to disrupt that. They want to talk about being freedom fighters, but then when people who actually want to fight stand up and open their mouths, all of the sudden we have to have a serious talk about "what a civil war would look like." Because we can all comfortably do the devil's arithmetic from behind our keyboards, in our houses, while human beings sit in concentration camps.

#7 & #12
To continue from your reference yesterday, this is how 'Big Brother' comes to pass:
The soon-to-be violent silencing of anyone who dares to speak up or stand against an injustice.
All this, combined with the blatant alteration of truth and past is potent.
"Under the spreading chestnut tree"...
The last two briefs have been some of the worst so far.
Thank you for being here for us, George.
You are like a small ray of light in an all-consuming plume of chaos.
GeorgeBounacos
Awww, thanks. It's my part of it and I'm really glad it works for you too!
We've got a lot of work to do even if the midterms manage to arrest the legal portion of the descent. We have to get to the midterms first.
Jmarie453
They are mere months away and yet it feels like it's been decades since January alone.
Come what may in between, I'll be ready.
Our country will never be the same, but more of 'the same' is not what we need. In this atrocity there is also opportunity.
We have become a selfish and greedy nation, but I hope enough of us can rise to this occasion and never relent.
GeorgeBounacos
Absolute power, and all that so I completely agree with you. In truth, either party could've been a change party, but the system has rewarded those who keep it in place. That's what has to change without blowing apart all our systems in the process.
Step 1 after at least stopping the congressional rubber stamp is to start designing plugs for all the loopholes and workarounds.
Glad to be on your side!

Sniff sniff sniff!

What is that fine critter?
TheFastpaws
A Coati.
GeorgeBounacos
who smells two bites of a burger and some stale crackers.
Also TIL what a coati is
SchuKadaj
#10 why is he not being removed, at all, why is he allowed to stay. How much destruction does he get to do. And before the "why don't you" I'm not able bodied to even get there.
PuzzledCompletely
Presumably because the folks with actual power to remove him like what he's doing, and/or are more afraid of him than us.
piratecaptainwendy
It is amazing how clearly a line there exists between two camps of Americans who recognize the emergency that we are in. There are the largely middle class white american consumers. The largest voices of “violence is never the solution” and “do nothing but protest and vote blue” lay here. Either thet don’t recognize the situation, or just don’t care.
The other, not smaller but sure less possessed of resources and influence, is between those of us most directly affected. "Stop It Now."

History shows that Hitler didn't stick to only Jews, it was people that didn't agree with him, disabled, gay men, Roma, Soviets, Poles. People that resisted, disobeyed etc. And this time it goes faster than it did back then.
piratecaptainwendy
Technology makes everything worse. Yeah it irks me a little when queer, disabled, Romani, and other "objectionable" people get written out of the holocaust in most discussions. Our dead matter too.
