Yep. It’s really the beginning of the end for ICE. The outrage is building. There will be more protests and protests where weapons are fired in self defense. It’s inevitable. State forces will challenge federal forces. They can’t and won’t incarcerate all of us. @allinwithchris.bsky.social

We allowed him to redefine what this is. This should always bring him the shame of being a thirty-four time convicted felon. There would have been more if he hadn’t played the courts to his advantage, and then tricked a slim majority of the US public into shamefully voting for him.

The moment Trump declares Martial Law is the moment he has declared War on the American People, inciting the Second American Civil War. I pray the Military, or at least a substantial breakaway Faction of it, stands up for The Constitution rather than kill its own Citizens.
