“I am doing this because I believe so long as we have a system where people are being prosecuted for petty theft and not for killing someone on the street, in broad daylight on camera, we have a system that is too broken to continue to function."

Why did mega law firm Paul Weiss capitulate so quickly right after Convicted Felon Donald Trump took office?…
We're gonna have to get tougher now. We're gonna have to take it to the next level. More people out on the street more people calling the senators and Congress people. More people texting doing what we do. More people exposing the Epstein files. Photographing ice. Put it on here. Double it up.
Thirty contractors are paid to sift through posts, photos, and messages, turning our lives into raw material for deportation raids and arrests.
ICE already uses automated facial recognition systems, run against massive databases, to identify and track people for enforcement actions.
We already live in a surveillance state.
ICE lets its agents wear masks so they can’t be identified; meanwhile, they scan our faces. They know who we are, where we’ve been, and who we’re connected to.
They’re openly building a 24/7 social media surveillance operation.

There better not be one damn penny of taxpayer dollars spent on Erika Kirk’s show via DOD, nor should the US military be used to promote a partisan political event.
⛓️CONCENTRATION CAMPS & INCINERATORS—D.H.S. is setting up a huge network of camps. They are converting the U.S. as a region for ‘expeditionary military deployment’ & no-bid no-public-comment contracts to build a “ghost network” of 10,000-person concentration camps. Jesus. Thread 🧵

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.
Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.
The cruelty is endless.
I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.
But did you look at the judge's order?
It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

They want us working earlier and til we die to pay for their tax cuts for the rich. Supervillains.
In Minneapolis, Minnesota, on February 1, 26, protesters employed leaf blowers as federal goons deployed gas to blanket the neighborhood.
Pro-ICE rallies are magnets for neo-Nazis. If these gatherings go unchallenged early in the year, they will spread. Antifascists nationwide: eyes on Boise, Idaho. Don't let hate find a foothold.
Pirro: "You bring a gun into the District, you mark my words, you're going to jail. I don't care if you have a license in another district and I don't care if you're a law abiding law owner somewhere else. You bring a gun into this District, count on going to jail. And that makes all the difference"
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"
And to think it's just so fucking easy for him to do so...
It just blows my mind...
It's like if I had realized when I was 13 years old and I didn't take out the garbage, and my parents called me on the carpet about it...
If I had just realized that "fuck you" was an option...
