Susan Collins' opponent for Senate seat. I wondered if she's concerned.
Little old lady in a walker rolls right up to law enforcement vehicle to make sure someone isn't getting kidnapped by ICE while LEO holds pepper spray. Excellent de-escalation by LEO (likely not ICE!). I can't imagine how bad LEO morale must be. #UnmaskICE
The judiciary holds. An individual, courageous, law- and Constitution-supporting judge stops the Administration from hundreds of cases of child trafficking. #UnmaskICE
Every public protest comes with risk. Stay safe out there, patriots. A small win in this case: intimidation of a peaceful protest leads to criminal charges.
9 federal agents, apparently to detain 1 dude sitting on a park bench. Sitting on a park bench is not probable cause. Metropolitan PD, US Park Service, a couple of ICE/CBP/DHS. At least they aren't masked. Small win in the erosion of Constitutional rights. #UnmaskICE
Hope is not a plan. And we can't pin all of our hopes on a roll of the dice in 2026.
"Your papers, please."
The National Guard are being used by pawns to pursue a political objective that includes the erosion of Constitutional rights. You can support them as people and still make them uncomfortable. I'd much prefer a simple dialogue of "I'm really sorry you're here," but discomfort is a part of protest.
If the meter maid was being used in service of the erosion of Constitutional rights, then yeah, I'd do the same to that person.
DHS cuts funding for domestic counterterrorism (including mass shooting prevention) so they can deport gardeners who have been peacefully in the country for 30 years. #UnmaskICE www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...

And to collect one of the largest unmined data troves for AI model training: medical, tax and demographic, contract and competition data on every single person and business entity in the US. Grok now has access to every American's and business' personal data. ash.harvard.edu/resources/un...
Firefighter nabbed by #ICE (the CBP branch in this case) had a valid legal case pending. #UnmaskICE
ICE agent and star recruit out for 4-6 weeks with injury. #UnmaskICE
The courts hold. Miranda is still the law of the land. Related to #ICE? No. But still relevant to Constitutional protections. #UnmaskICE www.pressherald.com/2025/08/29/t...
All protestors must be aware that their employers may terminate them for simply being at protests. This is a risk that must be borne. The 1st Amendment does not guarantee any freedom from private repercussions. DoJ fires employee who flipped off Nat'l Guard. Completely legal.
July gun sales lowest since 2019. www.americanrifleman.org/content/july... July 2025 new home sales down 8% compared to July 2024 www.census.gov/construction... 17.5% drop in inbound container volume predicted for remainder of 2025 due to tariffs. Gov't is already cooking the numbers.
Reasonable argument that pardoning 1500 insurrectionists is an impeachable offense.
habeasdockets.org is doing good work. They get the court filings for detention proceedings by volunteers being physically at federal courthouses so they can file habeas corpus petitions before people are deported. DHS ignored an automatic stay and deported man in US 35 years and with active case.
We as Americans can choose to stop celebrating all things Confederate.
'U.S. Army officials planning an operation in MacArthur Park during the June deployment in Los Angeles determined that using troops to protect agents carrying out Trump's immigration crackdown posed an "extremely high" risk to civilians, troops and the military's reputation.'
CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT OF ALL #ICE FACILITIES RIGHT NOW. #UnmaskICE www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
A seditious government will pardon and celebrate sedition.
#FAFO
The absurdity, the farce and the slide to authoritarianism will end when Americans finally stand up and say with conviction: I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more.
When you turn a city into a police state, the police have to justify their existence and fill their quotas. That means harassment of the citizenry. We have FBI agents pursuing jaywalkers and marijuana smokers. #UnmaskICE www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/u...
Get out from behind your screens. Resolve increases when you're physically among like-minded people. You have friends everywhere; you just haven't met them yet.
Congressional oversight now. ICE and DHS cannot legally refuse unannounced Congressional visits per federal statute. #UnmaskICE
It was sarcasm.
Another No True Bill in felony assault of a federal agent in DC, this time a US Park Services employee. Besides the bizarre details of the case, the grand jury felt that DoJ did not earn an indictment of assaulting, impeding or resisting a federal LEO. Something's happening in the courts...
DHS gearing up to go to war in another US city. Appears that Chicago will be invaded on Sept 2. Also, everything DHS says has the stench of propaganda. #UnmaskICE www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
America doesn't celebrate Benedict Arnold as a national hero. Nor should it celebrate an insurrectionist whose goal was to overturn a free and fair election.
The party of Family values. They put their self-assigned label past the breaking point with every family they destroyed. Or maybe those families just did not have the right skin color. #UnmaskICE
Eyes open, Chicago. #UnmaskICE
Good luck, brother. Will miss ya.
I dipped my toe into Twitter briefly recently. Truly, truly horrid. Racist, sexist, propaganda, misinformation. I know it hits here, but a couple blacklists + a curated field + a liberal use of mute/block keep my feed mostly clean. Far different experience - for me - from Twitter.
Man in the High Castle for inspiration. paologiandoso.artstation.com/projects/La5Ev
Just like the courts have removed the presumption of normal order, the voters, watchdogs and independent commissions/oversight groups are going to have to remove the presumption of normal order in the 2026 elections. Trust no politician or process. CONSTANT VIGILANCE AND OVERSIGHT.
Bluesky is nowhere near as bad as Twitter.
Masked #ICE agents make local police less safe. Immigration enforcement includes ICE, HSI, CBP, ATF, FBI, the IRS (really!), US Park Service (really!) and the US Postal Service (really!). To keep it simple, I'll refer to anyone doing immigration enforcement as ICE. Hence, #UnmaskICE.
Washington, D.C. Striking iconic image of our times.

"Excuse me, trying to take my children to school," Mom says to a mob of masked armed men.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! No intelligent, reasonable person should have impostor syndrome ever again.
Seems like a fan of the 1st Amendment AND the 2nd Amendment.
Anyone tracking on upcoming mass extinction events? I want off this timeline.

'Monday's order calls for the creation of "an online portal for Americans with law enforcement or other relevant backgrounds and experience." Agency heads then "shall each deputize the members of this unit to enforce federal law."' The police state grows. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-v...
Utah joins with North Carolina in the very small club of states who have gerrymandered so egregiously that the courts conclude the maps are illegal. 2027 would be a great time to have a national conversation about eliminating gerrymandering.
Another No True Bill x3 by a grand jury proceeding in DC by DoJ. Charge was felony assault of a federal agent. This is a very interesting example of an American societal check on the executive. Will be charged as a misdemeanor. www.cnn.com/2025/08/26/p...
Grand juries are pushing back against DoJ. "The remarkable failure by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington was the second time in recent days that it was unable to persuade grand jurors to bring an indictment in a felony assault case against a federal agent." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...
Dad from UK, who has started a small business and coaches soccer, detained at routine green card renewal hearing. The reason? 2 marijuana possession charges from 25 years ago. Gotta fill the quotas... #UnmaskICE www.newsweek.com/ice-illegal-...

Observing, not advocating. 1989 Texas v. Johnson: “If there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that the government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable.” - Justice Brennan #Constitution
DC kids being taught how to deal with poorly-trained ICE agents and National Guard, in case the kids are accosted by any on their way to school. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. #UnmaskICE www.axios.com/local/washin...
The regime cannot be wrong. The regime cannot make a mistake. The regime is infallible. Clear due process violation: "Plead guilty to a crime and we deport you to Costa Rica - or we will deport you to Uganda." #UnmaskICE
#ICE uses so much chemical munitions that it causes a school to be evacuated. #UnmaskICE
Pediatricians helping parents prepare for legal guardianship in case of detention or deportations. "Family Values." Yeah, right. #UnmaskICE www.cnn.com/2025/08/16/u...
Defying court orders sure seems like it should be an impeachable offense. #ICE being told to violate the 4th Amendment #UnmaskICE #RememberYourOath
ICE released her after a 10-day detention into the street with no phone and no notice to family. She was sent to a men-only facility and also hospitalized twice from no medication. Legal permanent residents have same due process as citizens per 14th Amendment and Mathews v Diaz 1976. #UnmaskICE
It's all a reality TV show. Except American democracy is at stake. #UnmaskICE
Green card holder who is also a disabled US veteran detained at citizenship hearing by #ICE. There is no justification and no excuse for this despicable behavior. Was it because he was Muslim or because his wife was a former Democrat Congressional candidate? www.thestranger.com/news/2025/08...
The judiciary holds. The federal govt can't withhold grants due to a state's policies towards immigration enforcement. 10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Indeed. A masked and unidentified police force encourages impersonators and copycats. It makes the job of real law enforcement much more difficult, as the anonymity reduces community trust in and cooperation with local LEOs. #UnmaskICE
Houston. Masked men in unmarked vehicles knock on door claiming to have a warrant. A shootout occurs. Homeowner kills both men, who were impersonating law enforcement. #UnmaskICE www.khou.com/article/news...
“[t]he act of making an audio or audiovisual recording is necessarily included within the First Amendment’s guarantee of speech and press rights as a corollary of the right to disseminate the resulting recording.” - Am. C.L. Union of Illinois v. Alvarez

'“A lot of that stuff you are hearing about U.S. citizens being arrested, right? That is a training issue that we are working on. But people don’t have to worry about walking down the street and being asked for their papers or being asked for their passport," Lyons said.' #ICE cut training time.
Seems to me that if you had an employee or volunteer in another state posting content, then you're perfectly within the bounds of the law and still within BlueSky's terms of service.
The purge of government competence and institutional integrity continues.
The Boston Massacre set into motion the Constitution that America lives under today. Who will be the first civilian gunned down by this regime? #UnmaskICE
Fascism and Epstein.
You have friends everywhere. Also, NordVPN. nordvpn.com/vpn-site/
I am an American.
The purge of our military continues. Head of Defense Intelligence fired. Coincidence that his agency's damage assessment of Iran attack angered Trump? www.cnn.com/2025/08/22/p...
I count at least 14 law enforcement officers in this. US Park Police, HSI, Transit Police, "Police Special Agent," "Police Federal Agent." All to roust one dude. Waste, fraud, abuse. This also looks a lot like a police state. #unmaskICE PS. Slow pans and zooms, please, videographers!
Additional raw footage of arrest. "Excuse my mouth. They really got me out my character," wrote badassxdiamondd. Agents attempt to block her from filming and documenting the man's injuries. Blood stains are visible on the pavement—his belongings are left behind scattered around. Washington, D.C.
Look for the quiet, truly patriotic Americans start saying, "Enough."
Add Chicagoans to the list of people who are going to get good and mad.
"It is this breach of trust—this shattering of a person’s faith in the benevolence and intrinsic fairness of America—that is the hardest thing to watch." Mother Jones nails the feeling many of us. Fairness, integrity, the American dream. Courts are now a honey pot to collect bounties. #UnmaskICE
A small win. The courts hold. #ICE internment camp receives order to be dismantled within 60 days, found violating environmental laws. Will be appealed. No new detainees in the meantime. #UnmaskICE amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/08/...
A small win. “ICE has agreed to not interfere with the administration of justice in Lehigh County, to provide identification and their warrant, and has refrained from wearing face masks in the courthouses thus far." Glad #ICE has agreed not to interfere in court. #UnmaskICE
Does that mean more than half of the arrests were in non-crime-ridden areas?
Found on Reddit. No credit given, just "Spread it wide." Glad someone is doing this stuff. #UnmaskICE
That's a Trump 2028 hat in the upper left corner.
What are the rules of engagement?!?!? Pull a gun on a driver and then let both the driver and another person already in custody go, while you drive the other direction? Is this an illegal detainment? The pistols are coming out more frequently. #UnmaskICE
Oh, no, here come the Sharpies...
It's all Ministry of Propaganda these days.
Huh. Correlation between sending feds and National Guard to DC and a 22% reduction in local restaurant reservations. The causality is pretty obvious but I'm not jumping to conclusions. Military actions do have economic consequences... www.wusa9.com/article/news...
Observing and reporting, not advocating.
#ICE or some other masked men (who can say for sure?) just hanging out in a hospital lobby harassing and intimidating people, waiting for the next brown person to come in. #UnmaskICE
I just searched "Mt. pleasant ICE dildo" and watched video to determine whether I could definitively state that ICE placed a dildo to replace a torn down protest sign. Result: Evidence inconclusive. But the fact that it was possible is an indictment of America. newrepublic.com/post/199187/...
7 year old in NYC detained by ICE after court hearing. Stays with mother, while 19 year old brother is shipped to a different facility. First known detention of a child in NYC. #UnmaskICE www.amny.com/news/ice-cou...
Unidentified masked men pull over a car with two children in it. One of the masked men has firearm drawn while exiting his vehicle. Three shots fired into car by masked men. ICE tracks car to the home where family has barricaded themselves, then leaves. America is not safer. #UnmaskICE
