Far-right extremism has permeated the ranks of law enforcement at all levels in America -- from small-town (and big-city) sheriffs to federal ICE agents. And they don't really care if you object. They think they control the levers. h/t @dburghart.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/davidnei...

The ICE agent called her a "fucking bitch" after he killed her. One officer screams "Go, get out of here" while this officer says "Get out of the car." You clearly see her turn the wheel AWAY from him after he steps in front of her car. Did they think releasing this would help them?? cw // violence

The man with three Marine sons who was beaten by ICE thugs apparently is focused on finishing a job he had been working on for a client. Trump, Miller, Noem, and Homan want to kick him out of the country. But doesn't he sound like the kind of person who is the very backbone of America?
Screenshot of a skeet by Gabe Ortiz ( @tusk81.bsky.social‬ ) reskeeting Jacob Soboroff. Ortiz's skeet quotes the LA Times article Soboroff links to: "On his first call to his son after the detainment, Barranco was less concerned with his injuries and more concerned with his job. He told him where his truck and equipment were and asked him to speak with his client and finish the job, the younger Barranco said.”

The Seattle Times
"There's nothing you need to do - we've deducted the funds from LEONARD A.
JOHNSON's account."
Uh oh. It itemized how $5,201 had been stricken from their bank account, on the grounds that Ned wasn't justified to get those benefits - because he was dead.
That was for payments he'd received in December and January.
Ned found that his February Social Security check hadn't been paid, and he's yet to receive his March check, either. His Medicare insurance had been canceled.
He also learned that when you die, your credit score gets marked as "deceased, do not issue credit," which makes it tough to get a loan.
