If you don’t read or hear the word ICE without hearing or seeing the word Gestapo, you might as well stop following me. Same if you don’t think the CIA has turned its eyes on US residents here and abroad.

I hate to crowdsource when I have a dumb question, but I haven’t seen the answer yet—are we eventually going to find out which judge signed the alleged search warrant that the feds got for Rep. Omar’s home, and what claims they made to get the signature?

when something scary happens to ilhan i think about this photo. you’d never know from how brave she is that she isn’t seven feet tall. we’ve all got to have her back, because she isn’t just some character on capitol hill, she’s a real human, with real children, who deserves to be safe in her home.
me and ilhan and i am big and she is tiny

"Shane Gillis was just telling JOKES." Yep, he was. That was what he finds funny, and now we understand him (and those who laugh) to be the sort of person who finds that sort of thing funny. What's being objected to isn't that he's being misunderstood; it's that he's being understood very well.

Ms Rachel from the top ropes
From Ms Rachel's account on Threads, she writes, "CORECIVIC, a company that makes hundreds of millions locking up KIDS in immigration detention
has a PAC that's sending campaign checks to Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
Susan Collins chairs the Senate committee that writes ICE's budget.
ICE is CoreCivic's customer.
The company gets paid out of a budget she controls, and it pays into her campaign."

We can’t be silent in the face of fascism. The raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar weeks before an election is naked an attempt to interfere with it. Trump has weaponized the DOJ to target his political opponents, manufacturing charges that have been dismissed by court after court. I stand with Ilhan.

Doing a pre-dawn house raid is obviously being done as thuggish intimidation and as a literally violent assault on her and her family. Overaggressive raids happen in other contexts but in this case it's going out of their way to do politically targeted state terrorism.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

I can't put it better or more succinctly than Dan Levy puts it here. There's an idea among misogynists like Shane Gillis that the only context for a woman's existence is her sexuality in relation to him. It's an attitude, promoted and amplified by SNL, that perpetuates violence against women.

Once again: The ICE Air Operations Handbook allows children as young as 13 to be shackled on ICE flights. All adults are shackled except pregnant and postpartum women (up to two weeks) and, on removal flights only, single parents with young children. That’s according to their own policy.
