What no one is realizing is that these ICE thugs are just that. They are not Federal Agents trained in police tactics. They are PROUD BOYS! Proud Boys are recruiting for Trump. He has his own militia that reports only to him and he is paying them $50,000 dollar sign up bonuses.

These are felons and murderers, just like him. Shouldn't the real police look into the legality of this? Can a felon or murderer become a police officer, I think NOT! But, in the Trump world he wants the worst of the worst to do his evil bidding. And that is what he has!

So right SV. I just posted a link to an article that directly addresses this. Hunter Lazzaro from uncharted blue has a piece out that should put everyone on alert. They are just honing their chops in Minnesota. They are coming for all of us.

check out the part about the massive warehouses they are buying up in lots of states to put us all into. chilling.

I’m betting that the masked “agents” are a bunch of thugs Trump pardoned from the January 6th insurrection. This is why they don’t want them identified

Hey CS, check out the article I posted by Hunter Lazzaro, They are not only those J sixers, but also Proud boys. And God only knows who else.

Abolish ICE. We don't want them. We don't need them. ICE and DHS were created for the war on terror. Ironically, they are now the ones creating terror in this country. Get rid of them!

Not going to be easy, CD...and with the feckless congress we have now virtually impossible.Our Congress is still cutting deals. Absolutely astonishing.

Really solid point about constituents showing up with real accountability. The Hageman example underscores how town halls are becoming actual pressure points again, not just photo ops. I remember when these events felt performative, but there's somethign tangible now about voters being unwiling to let electeds dodge hard questions. Feels like 2017 intensity minus alot of the organization.

The orange dude and his admin are circling the drain. The crazy will continue to escalate the closer he gets to total brain rot. But sooner or later it all gets flushed, even if we have to flush twice.

"Something as small as the flutter of a butterfly's wings can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world." Harriet Hageman. Tom Suozzi. Town Halls are the butterfly's wings.

Fuck the Trump Regime for the unlawful arrest of Don Lemon!

And everything else JG...and everything else.

Fuck the First: Don Lemon's arrest, after two federal judges refused to find a basis for the indictment, is a warning shot to independent media. Don Lemon wasn't making himself the story, but Trump certainly is.

tbh I only read the news to see if anyone else is dead besides the good ones

Eva Bondi will answer for her wickedness, along with Tommy Two Bags and their boss

Calling Karma, Divine Justice, Voodoo, whatever it takes.

I can attest that hard core maga still supports him while they send out Bible readings on living in this dangerous world Horny for the rapture, not realizing they worship the antichrist whose minions like Nosferatu makes their lives worse and blame it on Biden

The Orange Crime Lord is wildly untethered. Obscenely, oblivious to any Laws or your Constitution.

Unrelated to today’s newsletter…are you able to obtain the full video of Alex Pretti kicking an ICE truck? Evidently 20 seconds was left off of it according to the recorder at the scene. Kinda makes you think ICE kicked first?

Thanks for helping me get through the day.

Thank you for the laugh. All weekend, I will be picturing Harriet Hageman running through the snow, leaving behind a trail of urine.

Does anyone know what synagogue the protesters were manhandled?
