AOC: If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress — it’s DHS. It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem. You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there… we’re going to have a problem.
When people say that "nothing is being done" and they expect elected officials to have the magic potion to solve fascism, this is foolish. The only people who can prevent elected officials from being arrested illegally are the masses of people. Does that make sense?
People who make fun of the "strongly worded letter" should also realize that a "strongly worded statement" delivered in person may also be an impotent thing without the masses of people standing behind that person. And there are no magic levers to pull that will stop fascism.
Democrats are actually working unlike any Republicans.
@electiontruth.bsky.social Looks like Kamala WON! Review ETA's breakdown of the info and then get the democrats to do Something about it! There MUST be a audit of ALL the swing states! Please, Don't Believe me & look into it yourself! Review ETA's data, watch some of the podcasts they have been on!
Forget the recount. It's time to throw Trump in jail with all his associates.
I remember when she was ridiculed in the beginning, as a former bartender who was dumb. I thought that republicans admired our working class! But who's showing up now! Thank you AOC!
She's still being ridiculed for working. youtu.be/syj9M9yAJgc?...
It's the same people who brag about working 80 hours a week with no vacation, no less.
Oh she's got that right we are definitely going to have a f****** problem. In the courts will decide that and they better choose wisely. We are at the ready and ice will be no competition for us we are prepared for them in conflict
If DHS is breaking the law, then it’s time to break out the big red “Liar Liar” pen and start circling names! Nobody lays a finger on Rep. Bonnie — unless they wanna meet The Mask... and he’s feelin’ spicy. 🔥🕴️#SomebodyStopThem #AccountabilityTime
👏👏👏👍
So many laws being broken... www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
If people are being charged with assault of an officer for that...they're going to become less afraid of...doing something that would get them charged with assault of an officer. Not that I condone violence. And when I say violence, I also mean kidnapping.
it almost seems like they are trying to provoke this. i don’t put it past them to stage something like this, if they can’t create it stochastically or organically.
SECOND AMENDMENT PEOPLE
A great big YUGE problem. Ain't no Congressperson slamming a 220 pound ICEsurrectionist...
Specially a 80 year old lady. Give me a damn break.
FUCK AMERICAN NATSIS PARTY
I love this woman!
Love what @aoc.bsky.social is saying but we aren't pressing charges. We aren't taking them to courts. Even if they are pardoned at a federal level, states need to start there paper trail so that they all end up in the Hague we we finally get back power.
THIS IS A PICTURE. IS it supposed to be a video ?
Obviously nobody likes you
So @aoc.bsky.social they did lay hands on Congressional representatives, and the Mayor - what is your next step? 🚬😎
Breach of contract = Null and Void. Be ungovernable...They broke their oaths...
We already have a problem!!!!
Thank goodness we have people like AOC speaking the truth.
Donald cares little about the law. He is building a police state. youtu.be/lcbyZATsmGk
Could be the unveiling will be June 14th, day of infamy.
Absolutely! He has already built ICE with his Insurrections, I assume! His own Gestapo!
Why are these times not bringing more like AOC to the front lines?
Because most members of Congress, both Dems and Repubs, are chickenshit cowards.
Your country already has a problem. Overthrow the damn Nazi already
AOC is freakin fire! I love her 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
TELL EM GIRL!
YES - with the caveat that, respectfully, we've already got a problem.
I love AOC and her passion. You tell 'em, girl!
Breaking the law. Arresting a Mayor. Getting away with it. Ignoring congress. Taking power from institutions, Ticking all the boxes of fascism. Nothing is being done to stop them.
Everything you identify is correct. But things are being done. And every day. The hardest fact we have to remember that the right wing owns and operates something like 80% of all media in the US. But independent media will tell you all the action being placed
Pulling triggers stop Nazis. Not paperwork
Neighborhood Defense brigades, need to be created to confront abductions and arrests by the fascist regime.
Stephen Miller is the MAGA movement personified. Ignorance, cruelty, and illusions of grandeur. Deforming Christianity for his racist agendas and visibly transformed while spewing hate and revenge sweating through his topped buttoned SS uniform
Whatever she said I love it
Exactly. So we need to make ICE accountable for their law breaking actions. Sue them. Make them come before Congress and answer questions under oath.
Beware of the paramilitary. On Tyranny @timothysnyder.bsky.social
It's already here. It's disguised as ICE. If they are convicted, ZitRump will pardon them. The SCOTUS needs to step up.
No pardon for state crimes.
True 🤔. I see the strategy....
AOC is right. It’s time we meet them on the same field. Period
#ThatsOnHer
She's not wrong ya know
The media is misreporting the event as a "protest". It wasn't a protest. The Congress members were exercising their oversight duties of a Federal facility that was in violation of state and city requirements.
This is an important distinction that isn't getting enough attention. The elected officials that were arrested weren't engaging in any extracurricular activities here. They were doing their jobs. And Trump/Noem's weekend warrior fascist-scouts arrested them for it. This is unacceptable
Norm's head must roll! She is directly responsible for this shit! Why were the tyrants covering their faces? Because they know that what they did is wrong!
www.ice.gov/doclib/deten...
AGAIN with the oversight! As if this were some kind of rule-of-law-representative-democracy
Lead the rebellion
Why does she keep referring to the constitution? That was voided when Trump ignored court orders & everyone allowed it. There is no constitution now. If anyone hates that, they should rise up & do something about it? Seriously, stop talking about the constitution. It's laughable.
I sympathize with how you feel. It does seem pointless to point out a law that is guaranteed by the Constitution when Trump doesn't care about following it, but it is still the law of the land. IF they get anywhere, it will be because they followed the Constitution, unlike the executive branch.
No it’s not. The constitution is extremely important
It’s now useless.
It’s full scale facism people better wake up . This is not going to end peacefully . They are forcing extreme conflict .
This is exactly what the Heritage Foundation planned and are currently executing. They said it would be peaceful only if the allowed it to be…we were warned what they wanted to do and we elected Trump anyway who is integrated into Project 2025 www.politico.com/news/2024/07...
That soulds like something Putin would say. Could the two, by any chance be related?
Plus The Seven Mountains Mandate to consider too.
I have to look that up…I am unaware of that but it doesn’t sound good.
It isn't Christo fascist would be a reaso able take on it
Do you remember when the words, *Homeland Security* made you feel safe? I do. But not anymore. In order for the people of the United States to feel safe, Kkkristi Noem, Tom Homan, any Proud Boys, Boogaloo Boys, etc, PRETENDING TO BE ICE AGENTS need to be arrested! ENOUGH OF THIS LAWLESSNESS!! MARCH!
Have the Capitol Police escort them next time. Make sure there is a next time.
They look like Oath Keepers to me. Or am I imagining these uniforms??
You’re not imagining things. A proud boy was seen in their ranks.
One of them is wearing an oath keeper t-shirt, if this photo is unaltered. Ironic as all the right are the ultimate in oath breakers.
AOC laying down facts!💪♥️
@aoc.bsky.social showing us the corruption of #ICE & #TRUMP admin.If any1 laid a finger on her #PEOPLE would revolt.AOC is standing up for #ALL, not just Blue. She has a #STEELSPINE & her bravery needs to be mirrored.In 2 weeks Lawmakers & the P sector will stand on the steps of the Capitol together
I feel as angry as she acts. It’s just gone too far !! 😡
We have a problem now
Exactly should be the outcome!…a problem should exist because this 💩corrupt, out for revenge, ‘incompetent’ administration guided by a ‘lying senile old man’ has no clue of current laws, following the law or the Constitution, or how Congress works!🤬
AOC: If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress — it’s DHS. It’s people like Tom Homan & Secretary Kristi Noem. You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there… we’re going to have a problem. --- AOC is right again !
Tell em! Why is it no one in that administration knows the laws and rights under the Constitution?
Because the democrats and republicans have so excised themselves from our country that they don't even know there are laws that are supposed to apply to them. They swear an oath to the Constitution but none of them have ever read it. One of the main reasons we need an entirely new government.
that was yesterday. today: drump owns SCOTUS, controls Congress. Game Over suckers. dont you just love it how their libtardheads explode time + again? #SATIRE !! Acutally : I'm at a loss, world as we knew it is falling apart, what can I Do...
And please, please don't give them the benefit of the doubt Don't try to shame them because they have no shame. They are criminals and must be removed. Now!!!!!
They know!!! But they don't care!!! These people are sociopaths. The only thing they care about is power over the rest of us while they enable their oligarch donors to pillage and plunder our economy and democratic system for their own gain. When they speak in public they are Gaslighting!!
Because they are all deeply unqualified for their positions and are Trump sycophants, which is precisely why they were chosen by The Heritage Foundation as key players in this government coup. Every one of them has committed treason against the US.
They knew THF was planning this for years and did nothing to prevent it. Democrats and Republicans were very complicit. All the old heads must go as well. If we ever want to do away with the danger of this happening again, all members must go at the very least every 8 years. SCOTUS also.
This. Said this very thing over and over These people were specifically chosen for their levels of: 1. Idiocy 2. Ability to tell bald face lies even after their pants are on fire 3. Devotion to whatever fuckery Trump will shovel out 4. Will not stop him or other administration members 5. Weak
They should go in with state troopers if they are molested in anyway the troopers should arrest them
RELEVANT! bsky.app/profile/hemp...
Nothing personal but if Rob wants to talk to me he can post on this platform.
Not personal, but he did. I took the screenshot from another post but verified before I posted it.
That word "oversight" makes Stephen Miller wanna puke.
His name makes me ill.
👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Okay let’s see the problem then. They have already done the unthinkable, if there’s something you can do to stop them don’t talk about going to be having a problem. Have the problem now
Girl! This is insane.
Chuck Chuck and hire AOC!
ABSOFUCKINGLUTLY 🤩‼️
Congress and Scotus- Now, before it's too late, is your chance to do your jobs, fulfill your oaths, protect your places in history
Absofuckinglutely we going to have a problem with it.
AOC is a joke
That's all you got?
So is this post, Ivan.
"Accountability goes both ways. If DHS leadership is acting outside the law, Congress has not just the right but the duty to call it out. Protecting elected officials from threats and overreach isn’t optional it’s constitutional."
Thank you!😁
The Capitol will be stormed again by the same people as in 2021 but this time they will have Trump supplied uniforms, guns and their federal badges
Thank you...
What a queen! AOC/Crockett 2028 & Katie Porter Secretary of Treasury
Love this idea. Too bad it's looking like there won't be any more genuine elections.
ikr? I completely agree with you. When they speak about how things will change in 2026, I really don't think we'll make it to November 2026 elections. I'm guessing they'll call Insurrection Act & declare Martial Law. But then again, I'm a pessimist 🤔
I am too but at this point, I think we can refer to ourselves as realists.
They already did tho. So what is the problem that they’re going to have? I like AOC but start showing…
AOC cooking. Don't fuck with her.
I appreciate their concern for what is happening. When do they plan to move past informing us into leading us?
This is why I look to AOC to lead democrats. She displays the appropriate attitude for someone actively resisting a fascist coup.
.......... She is so Presidential. Maybe when the grifters and bums are gone, we can have a few politicians of youth who absolutely want a future and not just a few more zeros added to their personal bank balance.
You already have more than one problem... time to pull out all stops. And get all the nazis out of government and law enforcement
"And get all the nazis out of government and enforcement". Corrected - there is no law with Trump's lot.
Guess we have a problem bc they did.
She’s 💯 correct 👍🏼
That’s one hell of a Fiddle Fig Leaf plant!! AOC is keeping plants and America’s hopes alive. Love her.
We’ve already got a problem. A big one.
Once again, let’s just note how AOC is out there leading the charge and acting as a real opposition party leader — while @schumer.senate.gov is still sitting in a dark closet somewhere waiting for Trump’s poll numbers to come down, and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is doing who knows what.
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A PROBLEM!!!!!
More of this please
This is what our Representatives should be doing!!! Defend and protect the Constitution!!!
DEFINITELY Are they Defending our CONSTITUTION? SOME ARE NOT I V🔵TE! -> 🇺🇲🔵🦅 I defend U.S. Constitution I Honor U.S. Military Service Persons I try to Obey the Law I DO NOT AGREE WITH EVERY MEMBER IN CONGRESS Stand Up For what is RIGHT BOLDLY Stand AGAINST what is WRONG! I am🚫perfect.
Patty , I’m absolutely proud and honor to be one of your followers. Let’s hope that someone will be brave and courageous enough to stop him .
I do hope & pray. I am a woman of great faith.
Likewise my dear friend Patty , Happy Mother’s Day . Hope you enjoy your special day. Lights out for me. Goodnight and sleep well my dear friend.💕💤💕💤

Thank you. I am a mother of two adult sons. One texted me. One called to talk to me. I appreciated being acknowledged at least... I hope ALL MOMS were.
Unfortunately not all. There should be a law.Once they violate the oath , they should be prosecuted and impeached.
Want to send a loud & clear message to them? Then sign this petition to have this summer’s Gold Cup removed from the U.S. & have the U.S. and El Salvador national soccer teams banned from the tournament until every single person is freed and safe. bsky.app/profile/daam...
They are looking for excuses to arrest enough people in Congress that Republicans get 2/3rds majority.
Constitutional convention by any means. Christo fascism forever is the goal. It seems insane, but the speedrun is by design.
Also blue states have political power. Why aren’t blue governors using state authority and state power to resist Trump fascism?
A few are. Occasionally. Notably, they don't seem to mind ICE doing whatever they want.
Why are you asking bad faith questions you already know the answers to?
We did in Maine thanks to our governor!! And it worked she took him to court and won
Pritzker in Illinois is.
Just curious: Why isn’t Hakkem Jeffries saying this? Why isn’t he at facilities inspecting detention facilities?
Corporate Dem, one and the same with MAGA
He’s probably with Chuck Schumer, writing a strongly-worded letter in protest…
Or sending another several million to Israel
bsky.app/profile/hake...
Oh shid, a strongly worded letter. It’s all over now
Better than some vain all for show tiktok.
How is an all for show ‘letter’ in any way better than a TikTok?
I would probably argue that it was probably written with detail, some forethought and intention as opposed to an all emotional riff to just stir up the tiktok generation and will be gone forever after everyone forgets about it, but now that you mention it, you are right. They both are bad.
Not bad, but accomplishes nothing*
zionist
Too much evidence to ignore.
bsky.app/profile/hake...
He is a Vichy collaborator. He works for the Citizens United party

bsky.app/profile/hake...
I hear ya. Respectfully, but like, what action is he gonna take?
Same question can be asked for AOC.
Within in reason though, she’s had rally’s with Bernie that thousands have shown up for? Not a “hey Chicago, the democracy is on fire, not good… but wanna buy my book?”
handcuff these fucks already!!
They laid a finger on the mayor and nothing has been done. Those ICE agents should have been arrested then and there. Instead it's a bunch of posturing. Reminds me of a
Robin Williams' sketch about the leader of Libia at the time: "You cross this line, you die! You cross this line, you die! You cross this line, knock on my door, I'm not coming out!"
The mayor is local though and isn't given the jurisdiction by law to oversee the facilities like members of congress are.
So? He was breaking no laws by being there. He also had Congressional members with him. I like AOC, but until there are consequences for illegally detaining people regardless of whether they are members of Congress, it is all talk. ICE should not be allowed to detain ANY US citizen.
We know he wasn't breaking laws however the law pertains to congress not a local politician. If you understand the law, it's much easier to understand what she's talking about.
If I were AOC I wouldn't be showing my hand to those MOFOs - and the only people who are able to shut these creeps down are people who do not back down from bullies. AOC isn't just politically savvy - she is street smart.
Why didn't the mayor's police arrest the ICE monsters?
Exactly! American knows it and we’re watching!
We already have a problem and it’s not one I’m afraid to face the hard way. I’m out of give a fvks.
@aoc.bsky.social showing us the corruption of #ICE & #TRUMP admin.If any1 laid a finger on her #PEOPLE would revolt.AOC is standing up for #ALL, not just Blue. She has a #STEELSPINE & her bravery needs to be mirrored.In 2 weeks Lawmakers & the P sector will stand on the steps of the Capitol together
Your fig tree looks amazing! 😻
I noticed it too😍
@aoc.bsky.social ICE is King Trump’s personal militia to carry out his orders.
We already have a problem. EO 14148 allows for-profit prisons again. These are contract detention centers being used. It's always been about money and profit. We are filling the car with gas, thinking that will heal a broken arm. Identify, isolate, and inoculate. Stop touring, AOC
1 person in Congress can’t “fix” this…. They can be loud. They can draw attention. It’s up to us! We need to be loud. We need to do everything in our power to pressure GOP congress to do their job! We need to take back the house 2026! Now is the time to do all you can do to help fix this!
💯% correct. It just seems that they are fighting the wrong fight sometimes. Like how come more noise isn't being made when these detention centers go up. They are popping up all over, but the national news networks aren't reporting that, but report a mayor getting detained at one
Can the Congress bring their own security or police with them to conduct their duties without intimidation.
They are abusing the constitution how is that not illegal? How can you not remove them for not following the constitution what the fuck is going on with Democrats?
Democrats can't remove them because Democrats don't control Congress or the DOJ
I realize they don’t have Congress and DOJ but there must be something they can do to force him to step down? He’s trying to breaking the constitution
Unfortunately there's no mechanism for the minority party to remove members of the administration. They should be doing everything they can to dump salt in the gears and slow down what Trump is doing, protest or call for strikes, file lawsuits, and then try to retake at least the House next year.
Nobody tougher on someone being harassed or threatened than a bartender. I've seen them jump clean over a bar when the harasser got a little too close. It's a code. Go AOC.
Bartenders don't fuck around. You step out of line...out you go.
Thank you, AOC, for your courage, determination, and strength. We grow stronger through you. Keep it up.
Can Congress deploy the U. S. Marshall's to enforce the Law/Courts? Why YES they can.... "Congress can authorize the use of the military for law enforcement in specific circumstances, such as under the Insurrection Act"
Yes- But I looked this up and US Marshalls report to Pam blondie ⁉️ So it’s a round-robbin problem with Airhead
Also LEOs and military are not robots, but by and large right wing authoritarian assholes, and in the current climate, I'm pretty sure if they don't personally support arresting one of their Nazi heroes they just kind of... won't.
Anybody who thinks our Military if filled with right wing Traitors, doesnt really know our Military
The vast majority of veterans I've known are right wing assholes or centrists who will do anything they're told.
How will that happen if the obedient GQPs in Congress are still the majority vote? Nothing is going to get in between them & their wallet!
It’s past time to stop all this, but I doubt it’s now possible without doing more than peaceful protest. I see civil war erupting.
It's unfortunate. You may be right. They're ramping up - more cruelty each time. What will we do when they start exterminating us? He's already signed the EO militarizing LEOs and giving them immunity. Some prisons are doing death by firing squad. Will we just sit on our hands, watch, be ok with it?
Soon many will have to decide between leaving and claiming asylum in another country, or staying and either fight or lie down and accept fate. Horrible situation. I’m so sorry for all Americans who did not vote for this.
I agree. I'm weighing options myself. I don't want to leave, but there's a window where it'll soon be too late to leave. He's targeting brown/black people, so we may leave for our own safety. Beyond marches/protests, I don't know what else the people can/will do to remove this regime.
He’s already ordered the taking of photos of people at the border. If you have skills you’ll be welcomed in many countries. Good luck and stay safe. I never ever thought it would come to this, just terrifying for you.
Thank you. I never thought I'd see this either. Selling my home, all I've ever known, leaving friends, family & knowing I'll never return is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. To never visit my parent's graves again... I now know a bit of how refugees feel. So sad that we've reached this point.
If the Dems had any fight in them, they would start showing up at these facilities across the country and dare the Gestapo to touch them.
I looked it up and sadly, the Mayor has no right without prior approval and only if he's staff with Congress. As for the members of Congress, they have a right, but there are established procedures, and they didn't follow them. They can still get access. www.ice.gov/doclib/deten...
Can AOC or Jeffries facilitate an investigation into ICE and what happened in Newark? Can the Committee on Homeland Security open an investigation? If congress members and mayors are not safe from ICE, regular people are not safe.
I always thought the name Department of Homeland Security was stupid as fuck to begin with.
It has that je ne sais quoi of fascist-naming.
AOC from New York. You do not mess with a New York girl at all 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
#Heimatschutzministerium
Call and email the Reps. and Senators every day. Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121. Tell them loud: Defend the Constitution. Impeach the corrupt president! (Please repost)
I like her more and more.
Impeach them.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥
This. Fuck yeah this!
Please back it up with action.
I watched her in action, live. Where were you that day?
I didn't say she wasn't awesome.
It shouldn't be that we will have a problem (in future), that problem should be getting addressed already.
We need to identify these ice agents. We need to identify them individually, find out what their legal training is, what powers they've actually been granted legally, but most of all we need to show their faces to the world. Police have ID badge numbers & yet these thugs kidnap people off the street
Pulled their masks down, take a picture of their license plates, post pictures of them and put on the internet. Identify these people as much as you can when you see them attempt to kidnap somebody.
Members of Congress who are themselves working to break down the Constitution...who have broken their oaths of office, who actively work WITH DHS, ICE, etc. to attack civil rights...they are equally guilty because they approved of Homan and Noem in the confirmation hearings. They knew what they did.
But why can’t these ICE employees be arrested?? I keep asking this and crickets..
💯✊🏼
It's naive of Democrats to argue based on the law when other party is outright fascist and only follows the law if it can be used as a weapon against people they don't like and otherwise gives a shit about it ...
Should we all become lawless? We can protest and try to stop them but need more people. The whole town needs to show up.
If fascists make the laws, breaking laws will be inevitable. Complete lawlessness (ie civil war) needs to be avoided at all cost. Civil political action may help, but only in early stages. I am not sure, whether it is already too late in the US for that.
She is do right. I am so angry! 😡😡😡
We're at such an insane moment in history where it's not even vulnerable people who are being threatened - it's even the most powerful. Where and when does this end? This administration, and its department heads that continuously destroy the country from within, should already have been removed.
If they get rid of habeas corpus you know they are going after AOC with the quickness.
AOC, you do know that the Israeli government is as guilty of similar, or worse, human rights abuses as the Department of Homeland Security?
DISMANTLE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY NOW.
Way to go AOC!! More power to you.
"They know they cannot come for us all." - AOC In a deliciously silly episode of HAPPY DAYS the alien Mork from Ork threatened to take The Fonz from Earth as a Prisoner on an alien planet so Richie Cunningham and the whole community showed up in leather jackets! Mork couldn't take all of them!
Civil suits should be filed against all agents who are doing this.
If they are even agents at all ?
That's what I question. FFS half of them aren't even wearing uniforms.
And what's with the MASK & glasses... they look exactly like the SS creations marching & yelling UGLINESS! 🤷♀️🤨⚖💙
Do something!!
Thank you! This criminal regime must be removed ASAP! Trump and his followers have zero respect for our constitution, our laws or any person or nation that is not one of them.. the level of pure criminality involved in this administration is sickening! We're all living in constant fear and stress!🗽
Time to start releasing names and address of ICE agents!!!
YES!!!!
And if the ice agents believe in what they are doing, they should unmasked and not afraid to show their identities
J6 cosplaying
They’re proudboys in masks and hoodies too
Can we as citizens make arrests? Something needs to be done! The sooner the better!
People like AOC are the real problem the USA is having right now. Big words do not arrest Homan or Noem for actual breach of the laws. AOC can. But won't. Leaves a lot of room for speculations about why.
I am a British conservative and I didn’t like AOC’s politics. But damn I have changed my mind totally she is the one!!!
Because her position is essentially conservative. Follow the law. The law exists to protect our rights. Doesn’t Europe have the right to healthcare, university education, sick days, housing, childcare, etc? Isn’t that codified into law? We don’t have that normal conservative situation here.
For the most part that's true of Europe, however the UK has been pursuing a move towards a US style system ever since Tory Bliar (Tony Blair) got elected in 1997. I voted for that twat. Canvassed, leafleted and knocked on doors, for a charlatan. A Tory masquerading as a socialist.
Go ahead, somebody has to say it. Civil War 2.0 It's what they're gunning for.
I'm with you, AOC. I got your 6!!!!
The corruption in the Republican Party, under Trump, is beyond the pale. It is nearly impossible to hold their feet to the flame at present, but I believe things will change with the help, and hard work of AOC and Bernie Sanders
I’ll believe this administration will be held accountable when it’s actually held accountable, until then, they seem to be above the law.
Please start Impeaching Homan and Noem. Schedule hearings ask for ICE employee qualifications training requirements Academy rules how individuals are being chosen and screened.
I came here for this
Arrest ICE.
Not unless there's such a thing as real law enforcement left in the USA. I'm not hopeful.
We already have a problem
#onlyicebitcheswearmasks
Interesting- I was going to repost as this came from a post on a lady from Canada being detained and shared her story. Now I can't find it. ...but I screen shot...
Here USA's human rights abuses? A bridge to far USA? When did we turn into having people like Saddam Hussein running things "Saddam Hussein (and his type of ICE) famously known for his long-standing rule brutal repression and human rights abuses. The trump adm is behaving just like this in America.😧
We do have a problem with over steps of trump's madness. A bridge too far. Eliminating human rights and American laws by US's president and his tyrannical greed and hatred for people like them. Thank God for decent Americans and decent immigrants who are also due civil rights and good treatment.
REALLY?! That goalpost is on some high speed wheels. He's committed treason, defied SCOTUS, appointed corrupt criminals, violated 12+ laws, taken bribes, lied hundreds of thousands of times, Arrested Judges, kidnapped US Citizens, but now THIS is the new line? They're never going to *DO* ANYTHING.
A real big problem and God forbid if any of them lay a hand onAOC , or Jasmine Crockett, you can cancel Christmas!
The masked men posing as ICE are taken from groups like Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Boogaloo Boys, Patriot Front, etc. Many of them participated in the J6 insurrection and were pardoned by Trump. Regular deputised ICE police don’t need to hide behind masks. It’s time to unmask these scoundrels
Might read this post from today. It's about unmasking them. open.substack.com/pub/psychope...
Cannot thank you enough for doing what you are doing. These guys are scum and I pray karma pays them a visit.
Thank you. Yes. Scum is almost putting it mildly.
Getting Germany 1930s vibes
Definitely the Gestapo.
Yup
So the conclusion, police will only assist ICE FBI DHS if they show a warrant signed by a judge (and can call in to verify) otherwise police have to assume they are not real agents and actively protect the civilians. That seems logical. Or does local police keep going along as they do now?
The mayors and state governors have to order their local police with a threat of removal if they do not act to protect the citizens
and Blackwater, Triple Canopy, Northeast Security, Constellis, Titan and MVM.
I mean let’s face it; ICE enforcement officers act in such a despicably lawless way, bullying, intimidating, assaulting and illegally enforcing their neo Nazi agenda, kind of hard to tell the difference between them & the impersonators.
There's not much difference between them and the impersonators.
Maybe the ones abducted by the false ICE agents vanish... forever? They don't keep police records.
That’s the scariest part. No one can be sure who they are abducting.
Just join ICE and get paid to do it.
I wouldn't be surprised if all the people DOGE fired were registered Democrats.
We already have a problem, question is what do “we the people” who didn’t vote for this do about it?
The representatives of the USA are here to aid their peoples...I mean seriously?...going for actual representatives of the USA?...going after actual members of Congress is absolutely shameful for security personnel to do...
these ICE agents seriously needs to find other lines of work so they can actually be about democracy and work for the greater good.

Ugly and a liar
FFS
This is who she is. Always has been. Miss misrepresenting.
Which lie?(sarcasm) because she like him and all of them literally lie as they breathe
Kudos to Rep. Stansbury who obviously came prepped with receipts. The media should take a tip from this. Trumpworld is all about LIES. Want to interview them? Bring the receipts ahead of time. We all know the repetitive lies they tell. BRING THE RECEIPTS! Then mute them and show the evidence.
Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies. That’s all Trump and Trumpworld has to offer. Lies, lies, lies … all PROVABLE LIES on the spot. Empty Green was even shamed there. Shameless …
wasn’t … 😁
“Empty Green”😂🤣😂👏👏👏
The photo showing up behind her at the end is perfect lmao
The photo photo bomb at the end was the best....though I did enjoy the gavel banging as she was talking..kinda reminded of Mom when she was so mad at my sister and I arguing and she would slam her flip flop like that...made me laugh
😂😂🩴🩴
You see the flip flop slapping don't you...🤣👍
I do 😂
And when Mom broke her flip flop out came another one
😂🤣😂👏👏👏

@aoc.bsky.social showing us the corruption of #ICE & #TRUMP admin.If any1 laid a finger on her #PEOPLE would revolt.AOC is standing up for #ALL, not just Blue. She has a #STEELSPINE & her bravery needs to be mirrored.In 2 weeks Lawmakers & the P sector will stand on the steps of the Capitol together
I like this 💙❤️ although I'm not quite sure which of the many embarrassments in mtg's basket she's referring to. It probably doesn't matter, this can be applied to all of them.
You are THE BEST!!!!
She should contact her Rep in Congress and ask them to do something.
we love her.
Stand!
Dare them to arrest any standing member of Congress. Then let the law suits flow. No one in the US will be ok with it. Even the most foolish MAGA cult member will know this isn’t the way America does it. Stay as brave as you are intelligent, tenacious and passionate.
The flying monkeys are simple-minded thugs doing the bidding of a vile old orange clown
@schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, untuck your pair (or grow a pair if you lack them), and fight like this. Your "sternly worded" letters and posts a joke. Get out in public, and fight for our democracy!
But what actions is she actually taking? This feels very much like Gates talking about giving away his money but he never actually does. It's a lot of people taking up space talking about what they could be doing but nobody's actually doing anything about it
Is there a lawyer anywhere or someone who can give a plan as to how cities and states can band together and sue GEO? Or how to do an effective boycott? I love AOC but she has no actions. We know what happening we don’t need a rehash. We need a strategy.
Exactly!
Exactly!!!!
We have a problem now
I worry about AOC. How the hell does she burn hot like that, and always be right, and in full command of the facts, and still come down enough to be able to actually sleep?
Don't leave RFKjr and the rest of the chuckleheads at HHS off the list. A clear and present danger if ever there was one.
Aaah AOC ❤️😍❤️
Beginning Monday May 12, teams of Representatives should go to every detention facility to conduct oversight visits. Do not let ICE, Noem, Habba, Homan get away with this intimidation
And what would she do? Why havent they done something to prevent "laying fingers". Meaningless threats.
Remand Homan now!
I’m enjoying the indignant attitude, but which law enforcement body are you expecting to stand up for the rights of members of congress? The regime has seized all of them.
They need to do what they ought to have done in the first wave of Executive Orders on January 20; they ought to have gone to the governors and used the national guard to treat MAGA/Project 2025 collaborators as enemy combatants, which they have since proved beyond all doubt to be as they are taking
their orders from Kevin Roberts and Stephen Miller of Heritage Foundation, and Kevin Roberts has literally declared war against America. This makes Trump an enemy combatant and fair game for the US Military to deal with in the way they normally deal with enemies of state in a war.
I’m enjoying your logic but let’s hope your civil war solution doesn’t prove necessary. (Though I absolutely recognise that it could…)
I appreciate Rep. Ocasio's stance here but what's the plan because saying something is not American, and griping about kidnappers wearing masks-- is NOT an action plan and it's not stopping these illegal abductions. What's the plan?? And why are local police aiding and abetting??
💯
We need Dems who, when they take the majority, will push to arrest criminal Republicans. One reason Republicans think they can get away with committing crimes is because Democrats never hold them responsible.
Nicely nicely Fuck that shit. If Dems had used the law to punish and stop the onset of fascism even as recently as last term when they "handwaved" the new appointees to SCOTUS because despite their long term decision record to eat fascist assholes their whole careers, they just waved them through
because they gave utterly unconvincing "nice" answers during the approval hearings. And the first thing Biden (sorry, old man) should have done when those evil SCOTUS drones declared him Imperator was have Trump, his team, the whole GOP apparatus in Congress and 2/3 of SCOTUS sent on a long walk
off a short pier while wearing lead overcoats. Then he should have declared the entirety of their movement as fascism - directing the FBI to investigate how deep and wide it went...and burn it all to the ground. Then publish everything they found publicly. Then resign so Harris could carry on...
The courts have already been seized.
THEY WON’T RETAKE MAJORITIES. Our elections are FOREVER FUKKKED
Exactly. People think there's going to be a legitimate midterm. They know red Florida dropped 15 points in re-elections. There is no way this much lawless attitude by him and cohorts will take a chance on him being lame duck in a year. They've dismantled guardrails they aren't going to recede.
Very well said. Thank you
Agreed. I want an angry Democratic Party. No taking the high road. No turning the other cheek. I want a Democratic Party that will rain down the fullest extent of the law on these punks.
And seize all of the people found guilty's personal assets under proceeds of crime act Hit them where republicans fear most. In their wallet. Impoverish them. Every last cent.
Include media executives who have subtly and not so subtly pushed Trump and his agenda and not covered multiple crimes, etc.
Used for reparations to…practically everyone. Veterans, scientists, immigrants, air traffic controllers, capital police, women (in general), the LGBTQ+ community, anyone who was forced to spend time in proximity to Stephen Miller when he was talking…the list goes on. Good thing Elon is rich.
All Republicans are criminals.
100% !!
No doubt. The entire Donvict administration is nothing but a bunch of racist, lawless, thugs. State, county and city agencies and governments must align to oppose them. They really cannot fight everywhere all at once.
AOC for President
Given the role of President she's already more President than anyone else.
I thank God she's with us!
So you not have your own security to protect you. If not you should with all the crazies happening.
They do not identify who they are and it should be noted on their uniform. That’s for the ones that arrest you with a uniformed, We the people have no clue who they represent.
Hire private security to help you enforce the laws and due process. I don't know what else to do at this point.
When do we take the gloves off and really defend democracy?
She’s a treasure
Lol. Libs eat this shit up.
And republicans can't stop lusting over her .. AOC has potential, more then most.
Potential to keep people attached to a party that fails the working people miserably. Also..... she's way to old for Republicans to lust after. Republicans like them young.
Well if you think the Republicans are not lusting over her, your not paying attn. And if you can name someone more progressive then her with a bigger following, please let us know.
Meaningless. You'll achieve nothing with the democratic party.
Shout it from the rooftops! AOC you give me hope in these dark times.
Thank you for speaking out. I needed to hear this.
They need to be prepared for the worst if they start arresting democratic lawmakers and elected officials of any level!
I'll never understand why after 1/6/21, ALL Dem leaders sat silent as Biden said NOTHING about leaders who attempted coup being brought to justice; sat silent when Biden said he wanted Trump to run in 2024; sat silent & threw Trump respect as a fit candidate. & now AOC is shocked at all the fascism
@aoc.bsky.social I love you. But what's the plan? they ARE breaking the law. they are committing treason. what's the fucking plan?
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Came here to say exactly this
The plan is to be prepared for anything including Revolution.
Another revolution
Lawsuits, OK? You know this. Stop acting like there’s some magic procedural strategy that Dems just haven’t used yet.
It starts with educating us all (it was within the representatives legal right to be there) for us to then push back against the propaganda (fox news and DHS and DOJ staying they "stormed" the center)
What do you think should happen?
Reminder to please post alt text when you have an image of text (or any image). @bsky.app team, an automated system (AI / bot) to do so would be amazing. Too many of these images lately make using the site and app challenging (unless something is broken for me and I’m not seeing them)..
I agree completely. As time goes on it’s so clear & obvious that TFG can not sustain this situation.
alliance: Congress, state legislatures, governors, AGs, mayors, town councils, w/retired military & law enforcement ... states can chg treason & from there create legal framework to dismantle these fuckers. we & they (obligated by oath of office) to stop them.
That’s not a plan.
it absolutely is a plan. states can charge treason. they can indict & try Trump & co-conspirators in absentia. the fed agencies one would need have been compromised. the Constitution gives us the right: it is to be defended & upheld.
LOL. No.
I think only Chris Murphy and AOC know the urgency about the situation.
It's a hard thing to believe, so I understand. My husband knows it but thinks: it will work out, they will stop him, saner people will prevail. I'm like: what, by magic? As some headline writer wrote recently "the Constitution can not protect itself"
I agree with you. Magic will not work. The situation is dire.
Yeah, I keep asking people - who is "they?" They is us.
They all know! They just may not know what to do.
That's a great idea, let's start writing!
If we strike back then we go full bore! The regime wants any reason to declare martial law so they can set the military on us NOW! It will happen regardless! They grow impatient. That’s why they are planning to suspend habeas corpus.
They are afraid of even the limited fight we are putting up now. They intend to apply the jackboot to our necks, regardless. It will be up to the military whether they fire on their own citizens and are not breaking the law.
which is why I hope congress critters, governors et al are working w/retired military who still command respect from troops
We will come to the tipping point inevitably. The question is how far do we let them go beforehand. If we are slow walking this, I hope it’s b/c we are consolidating our forces to respond effectively.
Arrest them. Not the Congresspeople. Hooman, Noem et al. Send them the Libya
1000 million times agree Cathy V
Bingo! The American people are being ripped-off, lied to and intimidated. Not to mention his army of ICE henchmen and corrupt administration, dismantling every department and selling our personal data and Federal lands right from under us.
bingo back at you!!!!!
they are not "committing treason" what they are doing is violating the 1st Amendment which flat out states: Congress shall make no law … or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
it isn't just this instance, right? it's sabotage of our cyber / societal / intelligence / military infrastructures via DOGE. dismantling law and constitution... it's treason imo
No wonder they hate her. She's hot as hell and smart as a whip...... Damn
This is playing right into Homan and Noem’s hand….junk publicity How about an actual threat of “they have guns and know how to use them”?
The rule of law is what gives us power and that is what we need to support.
In a civil society waiting for the final outcome from the courts in the meanwhile who was there when people were being lynched? Or forced off their land to walk 100’s of miles to another state? Or protecting the freedom riders from murder?? Who?
Were you there?
They did put a finger on her. Arrest the ICE agents!
Hooman, noem or miller have to have the names of the ice agents assigned to that attack. Name names, tom kristi and stephen. We want assignment lists
Yes! We now have a former Vivek press aide who got a cush job in Homeland Security named Tricia McLaughlin threatening to arrest members of Congress. The day they try that shit is the day all hell breaks loose,!
No one is above the law!
Highly unlikely.
Honest question. I am curious why not before then? Why wait for all hell to break loose. I don’t think there’s time to wait.
I agree. Part of the problem is that the USA is so spread out. We need a date for a DC protest and the people will come!
*I mean why wait until then, for all hell to break loose*
I hope you’re right.
I love her, such a powerful and needed voice in these dark times!
We need enforcers. The judges can’t physically force anythig. We need physical power. Much of the military and Marshals are against this administration
The vast majority of our military have been long compromised and brainwashed to support fascist Republicans.
All US military bases show nothing but Fox News.
True
We need people to exercise their 2a right when these thugs enter their homes. Castle doctrine. I'm pretty sure when the last 7 raids resulted with 100 dead ice agents, there might be less volunteers
Even if a homeowner was able to shoot one, the rest would shoot the home owner
No THEY ARE NOT
Sorry. I meant they should be. The military should be protecting us not him
AOC is always on point. 💙💙💙
Urine filled ballons thrown at their faces show do the trick.
AOC we need more young people passionate in the political arena! It’s time for another generation to get things sorted! Keep up the good fight 🤗
