We are living in a country where the president threatens to remove someone's citizenship and he is not arrested for treason.
We are living in a country where the president threatens to remove someone's citizenship and he is not arrested for treason.
Breaking up families and causing horrific grief is what Trump did before, it's what he promised to do again, and what he's doing now. He and his Qult relish in it. It was never about going after the worst.
So it took lying about the Epstein files, but not about setting up concentration camps? Fuck off MAGA
We live in a nation that finally came out of the fascist closet.
Yep - this nails it. This *IS* the country in which we live.
That’s great for them. I would have done the same thing under those circumstances too! But most don’t get a protective detail. 😕
ELIMINATE TRUMP, THE NAZI
😡
A shithole country.
A country with a fascination with autocrats.
Do uniforms even matter if you are brown? I’m more angry with the marines and police and national guard for “following orders”. That’s what that Nazis said. Clearly men have no balls
America still manages to cast a long shadow on the world stage. Unfortunately, as incidents like this demonstrate, that long shadow is becoming more the result of the sun setting on American values like equality, freedom and justice. Americans can roll this back in 477 days with their votes.
not many have the luxury of a military escort
I am very very concerned that half of our government believes it can deny the power posessed by the other half to institute Congressional oversight and Constitutional review of #UnitedStates facilities.
Hate to tell you this, but a lot of you voted for it, more couldn't be arsed to vote, well you now know how that works. PS The Silent Majority is a fallacy.
White Nazi Racist Fascist Criminal... I could go on...
FUCKING TERRIBLE WHAT OUR COUNTRY HAS BECOME UNDER FELON RAPIST TRUMP!!!
Amerikkka. Hasn't changed one bit from its genocidal beginnings.
I don't know this family. But couldn't be prouder of these 2 young men if they were my own. #ThisIsMyAmerica
4 Epstein’s victims let’s keep searching Google 4 Epstein so it is #1 search. Tear page out of orange taints playbook, flood the zone
@papst-ny.bsky.social
Good sons to be proud of. Mine would do the same for me & I have 4 of them: 2 Marines.
Bastards!
SEMPER FI - NO MORE! substack.com/@democraticw...
What everyone should be doing is wearing their fake ICE gear to escort people to these….Since no one has identification or warrants. Who says who’s real.WTH. Let’s all don ICE gear and cosplay. Don’t usually promote Amazon but you can get your whole fake uniform there - with big selection of masks
Jess, the country is horrifying and cruel. God bless those national guards attending hearing with their mother. I also think about all the other detained people who don’t have that protection. My heart breaks for all of them.
One that's currently undergoing the equivalent of a nervous breakdown
This is what it is going to take to stop the ICE KKK. If Trump gestapo were met by groups of unidentified camo outfitted, gator mask wearing protestors... the optics would be interesting
We live in a country that is built on racism, misogyny, and gives more entitlements to billionaires than to the hardworking people who help them build and maintain their wealth. Fascist USA.
It’s all coming out now. The good news? Can’t fix it if it’s in the shadows.
Such a horrible one - so had to keep the faith that anything will be done to end this nightmare……
We live in an Authoritarian Country with an evil dictator. Thank you, GOP. Thank you, billionaires. My death from insufficient medical care will be on your heads. Congratulations
😭
Lord help us!
If we aren’t at a constitutional crisis, what would you call this?
A fascist one
And fact-seeking members of Congress should ALWAYS be allowed to inspect what's going on that affects their constituents. No member of Congress should ever be arrested, let alone, indicted, for doing so.
Sending fake messages of a legitimate immigration hearing designed to gather in more people to detain SHOULD be illegal. LYING TO THE PUBLIC IS WRONG.
Republicans hate the military unless they need someone to die for their oil interests or need a photo backdrop.
A marine tried it and it didn’t work. I can’t imagine the restraint it required to watch her be taken away. 😢 Our county is broken.
What??? A MARINE let goons take his mom? What?? They'd have to shoot me before I'd let anyone put hands on my mom, may she rest in peace.
But I’m sure it’s more complicated than that. Maybe his mom was the caregiver of elderly relatives & now they are his responsibility or he contributes to his extended family’s budget. If he’s kicked out of the military it could harm more people than himself and his mother.
You all have to do something.
Assuming that's a rhetorical Q.
Did it work? Asking for a friend
Wow. OMG. What does this say about us, that we are here?
📌
My brain is so fried at first I thought this meant they took her into custody and brought her to a concentration camp That's the kind of world we live in now
I love this!! We live in a country full of real Americans. We will get this back and they will pay. It's going to take some patience.
That headline & summary paragraph - sounds like/implies the guardsmen were following orders to bring in their mother. No where in the headline or summary does it state they were protecting their mom. At the very least, the media organization could have substituted “accompanied” for “escorted.”
A broken one.
Trump Kidnapping Czar is revoking people's legal permits to be here to boost their numbers a scheme cooked up by Stephen "Alien Egg" Miller, and to make Trump look like he is "tough" on illegal immigrants. This is ILLEGAL. The DOJ will be fighting these cases for years and the payouts will be big.
lol sorry this is absurd
Shoot me punk, I’m going in.
We live in a country where two National Guardsmen have to put on their uniforms and protect their Mother from other National Guardsmen, ICE terrorists and the USMC.
She's a lucky one. Maybe they could start escorting everyone.
Maybe we should.
I really think so. Maybe armed mobs need to start protecting people from armed mobs. Armed mobs protecting stores, farms, schools .... You can't just have armed mobs on one side. That's the problem.
2nd amendment init
Armed mobs protect nothing.
Looks like they're protecting human trafficking.
I've heard about groups escorting people to and from the courthouse. Resistance is organizing.
That's lovely and inspiring and sad and maddening all at once.
Can't believe it has come to this. I do feel better knowing that people are preparing for the struggle.
💙
Seems like this would be a good use of any Guardsman’s time!!!!
They should even get bonuses and awards for it
RE: Immigration Court hearings. Pls share far and wide. HOTLINE: 888.462.5211 You can be helped in either English or Spanish. Students will help ppl complete/submit a "Motion to Change Hearing Format." It allows them to have a remote/online hearing instead of an in person hearing. THANK YOU!
Is this only in CA or nation-wide?
I believe they can help anyone, even outside of CA. I just called the number and they no longer have this 888 number. They said "due to overwhelming number of calls" they couldn't afford it. But you can still call the the local number if you need help! The updated number is 213-787-6211.
THIS HAS BEEN CHANGED. THE RESPONSE WAS SO OVERWHELMING THEY COULDN'T DO IT. THE L.A. NUMBER IS 213-787-6211.
She raised good sons. I hate what this country has become.
bsky.app/profile/maxw...
I definitely read this headline before your context and thought the article was saying the siblings voluntarily submitted their mother to ICE…talk about poor headline choice. Thanks for the added clarity.
I keep asking myself the same question.
Not a country anymore. Trump's personal fiefdom, that he can rape, pillage, and do whatever he wants because nobody apparently can stop him.
That is fucking sad
This was a really smart idea! It's very sad that they had to do this, but this is the crap-ass country that we're living in now. You have to be protective.
Well raised smart kids. Sucks what misinformation and Orange Julius have done to our country.
wtf?!
This is the USA. Not the ICE folks being pushed by a Nazi Miller (oxymoron?) to rip the country apart for white nationalists and project 2025
Old news but important to remember!
A racist one, where powerful white families seek nefarious strategies through 'think tanks' to keep generational wealth away from PoC. #ClassWar
The kind that elects a well known sex trafficking child rapist as president.
And convicted felon, pathological liar, racist, misogynist, con man
A shitty country. A country that re-elected a fascist monster.
Did it work? Can they hire themselves out?
THIS PART. Hell yea let’s make an app and get our soon to be vets rich, like uber, but for uniformed escorts
🧐 Maybe the Guard could organize this into a protective service for all who are going to hearings who would be entrapped?
Good for them! Kudos!
Great sons!!!! Imagine trying to detain a parent whose children are defending this country!!! The lawless men in black are doing so EVERYDAY!!!
Finally, good use of military resources! #StopICE SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!
If this keeps up, maybe the hispanics in the U.S. military should stage a sit-in (sit out), protest, or strike. 17% or 160,000 soldiers are of hispanic descent. THEY ARE AMERICANS.
How many are black? Add them on.
Thank you for your service gentlemen! Sorry it comes to this!
tRUmpian gop christofascist nazi party! Everybody is saying it.
An America that sucks. Good for these two sons protecting their Mom best way they can! It’s ridiculous they have to do this!! Is America Great Again? Only if you’re white.
White maga maybe. White hate his guts and have posted so many times…next on the list.
Have to wait and see.
I pray their presence was an adequate deterrent. 🙏 Are they available for others?
What's the mental block that keeps people from realizing that all of the people being rounded up are someone's parents/sibling/child.
A racist dictatorship under Trump and the writers of 2025 everyone so pointedly ignored before the election
Did they kidnap her?
It sucks that they have to do this but I love that they did
Sad. Just sad …, and infuriating.
They (and people like them) should set up a crowd funded business that escort people to and from immigration hearings
YES. If the bad guys can have a militia so can we, for them.
Good
The question I have is will they actually do that for others or for only those that directly impact them.
A Democracy being turned into an autocracy/theocracy/dictatorship @ warp speed.
How revolting.
Bless these two men for protecting their mother. And for still serving this country. 💔
A piss poor one at the moment, Jess.
It's definitely a SHIT HOLE COUNTRY.
It's a "Sh*thole Country"!
Good for the sons. 👏
They will just take them also. This is not going to make a difference, sadly.
If ice detention is such a good idea ice agents should be detained in those facilities and not allowed to return home for months while deployed
You live in what is now a totalitarian state.
I'm glad they had the presence of mind to do that because she may have been kidnapped and sent God knows where. bsky.app/profile/jefi...
As Trump is eased into visible senility and total delusions He is a very handy target for our anger Meanwhile, unseen.. The White Christian Nationalist administration works ICE, tariffs, lies... its all THEM These people are guilty Their method? Just ignore 'We the People' Project 2025 at work
Miller and Vought should be the two at the top
Vought's office controls all of Trumps policy and the economy. He is the man who has the experience and knows how to get things done politically. Miller is not of the same caliber.
He is not, but he is still a ghoul and needs deported to hell.
I wonder how many of these good Xtians are on Epstein's list?
They needed him in the White House. Not sure how they continue their reign of terror without him to distract Americans and frighten lawmakers. Project 2025 started a half-century ago. A Trump win could solidify it forever | David Sirota | The Guardian share.google/RcNdlk6LY52S...
You are correct We need to expose and remove the key players of P2025 Russell Vought Karoline Leavitt Pam Bondi Tom Homan
The key Project 2025 authors now staffing the Trump administration share.google/axL4Y47LtADj...
Vought is on the top Bring him out first
Definitely.
Corrupt, every last one of them. Padding their pockets at our expense.
Trump is so easily controlled with his massive ego..
True, but trump goes first. His malignant narcissistic spewing has fueled all his maga cult members.
A very sad and depraved one, Jess.
The military is supposed to protect us.
What kind of country? A Fascist country!
What kind of country do we live in? Two national guardsmen put on their Army uniforms to escort their mother to her immigration hearing to protect her from being kidnapped… RT with Alttext ✍️📷
It's not the country our founders and most of our ancestors planned. It's not the country defined by the Constitution. But, those two sons are heroes. They know the difference.
Sickening.
A KKKountry run by racists, fascists, and plutocrats
This truly tells us how terrible things have gotten in America!
One in which it’s going to take a military other than our official one to enforce the law
Two men I would gladly serve alongside, anytime, anywhere.
A very fuq'd up one under Trump. He doesn't care about military or anyone else for that matter. He only cares for himself.
The way ICE is snatching people it wouldn’t surprise me if they grabbed them as well. I’m so mad about this cruel administration.
A racist one
bsky.app/profile/blue...
Yet we don't have money to make sure poor kids don't go hungry in schools, provide health care for our veterans, but America has $150 billion to fund an expansion of ICE for ethnic cleansing.
Dictatorship. Pundits are afraid to say so! All hundreds of thousands of families being kidnapped are taking on the dictatorship! We can’t be bystanders! @msnbc.com @maddow.msnbc.com
They should offer that service to others, not just their mother. Unless they think only their mother deserves justice, which is why so many Latinos voted for Trump, thinking only “the others” would be deported.
We live in a very bad country right now. Dangerous for so many people. The revolution WILL be televised.
This is the WAY. We’ve got to get it together before he gets his Jan 6 supporting, stand back stand by thugs ~10K more troops sent out. We are on a razor’s edge…
We live in a backwards, terribly run country now that Felon Don, Miller, Bannon, Bondi are in charge. Tragic
Trump country, it's a nightmare.
Wait, did they turn their mother in to an obvious plot?
No they protected her from being kidnapped during her immigration meeting
Oh I really read that wrong the first time and I thought that they signed up for ice so they could deport their mother and I was about to throw up.
And they didn't cover their faces w masks because they know they're doing the just, honorable thing
A fascist, racist Republican country. Disgraceful.
Did it work, is she out?
@hispaniccaucus.bsky.social @aclu.org @starsandstripes.bsky.social
Im they did and wish everyone could have someone do the same for them.
It’s crappy they have to do it but I applaud them taking care of their mom !!
A dictatorship
Unfuckingbelievable
I’m just speechless, breathless.
It has become a country that is breaking our backs and our hearts daily.
They need help. Those of us still WITH uniforms can do this.
We should all be in this together. If we accept a privileged "warrior class," why would they have a reason to empathize with the citizens that they serve, theoretically. If uniformed national guardsmen escorted all people entering their immigration court appearances, I might think differently.
Millions of morons elected a man who said HE WANTED TO BE A DICTATOR. You got what you want, magats!! So STFU.
This kind.
I feel for the families who don't know any national guardsmen.
One where 76 million ppl want this ?
good for the sons. and yes, what kind of country do you live in where that's necessary?
Yup
The country’s Cactus mate! The Fall of the American Empire has less than 12 months before its collapse! 👎🇺🇸🤡
I’m not understanding the “ejected” part. R they saying the guys were punished?
You serve in military or your kids serve. You should be made citizen.automatically
It looks like the Ununited States of America is the new normal. I do hope it all works out OK for you all.
More of this please
National guard should volunteer to do this for every immigrant. Democratic Governors like Newson could order them to.
Calling @governorferguson.bsky.social of Washington for this idea.
One governed by NAZIs.
Trump is governing like a Nazi right now
Yes he is.
Great idea. Now start a free service for all..
Hope these gentlemen are having good convos with their fellow guardsmen.
A very bad country. That is what we are becoming. Only we the people can stop it. Vote all republicans out!
One with particularly crap leadership at the moment and a large portion of the electorate with terrible judgement.
The worst one unfortunately
Last night I saw a video of ICE moving prisoners and there were children in chains. We are over the cliff.
I am curious about the action legislators are planning, to enforce oversight in the HOUSE and SENATE of these inhuman conditions being reported at detention facilities for which an unprecedented sum of money was allocated by their budgetary process.
A fascist one, sorry to say.
The mother has been here on a work permit for 24 years. Not undocumented, not illegal. Just a brown skinned non-citizen. To revoke her status on a whim and put her under the terror threat of being seized and deported at any moment is cruel and utterly disgusting. Racism. Period.
Trump is a bridge-crossing asshole and I'm sick of him for it
Motherfucker should live under a bridge
Trump is a troll too
Trolls have a place in society, they test both do-gooders and evil-dooers on their ethics and values. Perhaps making him a pile of shit in a natural fire would suffice?
I vote for the shit pile. We don't need to punish the trolls with his presence
Hanging from one. Like Mussolini
You're right! 100%.
Aahh yes. The idiotic white nationalists who think whites were here first....
Is this from the Chicago SunTimes? If so, please post the date … thanks.
If you want to blame someone then blame the 77,284,118 people that voted for this.
What about the 89,983,111 that didn't care if this happened?
Add them to the list. Obviously they don’t care about this country.
It is even more sad, Jess: they said that if ICE came they couldn't stop them from taking her, but they didn't want to not know why she didn't come home from Court. It's just disgraceful and disappointing that our Country has fallen so far, so fast.
A shithole country run by MAGAts.
But it also tells you what cosplay this ICE bullshit is. Their attire would not stop a legitimate lawful apprehension. These ICE guys running around are not actual law enforcement with a real, legal remit. They are just losers who get off on punching down but would turn tail at a real fight.
I will not stop posting this:Fake police,ICE INCELS,Cowards,Eunuchs,Fascist Terrorists, murderers, thugs:tactics of Gestapo,Stasi,KGB,Stalinś NKVD, Putinś FSB. inhuman barbarians Inside the FascistHouse (WhiteHouse)calling the shots.find out who they are&destroy Owners of businesses & suppliers too.
Governors should mobilize their National Guard units to these courts to protect the people’s rights! It has come to this within the country
How does that work? Could the Governor mobilize the state national guard thereby making them unavailable for the Federal government to coopt them into to their immigration enforcement plan?
From what I understand, Governors if requested can mobilize their state units. What Trollump did in LA was overstep the boundaries calling it a national crisis since there was no request by the Governor. I’m unsure if POTUS is involved if it is a state issue.
Wow. Business idea here. If unidentified, unqualified thugs are allowed to break windows, beat people, throw pregnant women to the ground, and disappear people, people can dress this way and act as security. These are real guardsmen. ICE scum are not really “federal agents.”
I know guns aren’t allowed out there but remember there was a time when good people ran bad people out of town with pitchforks and shovels?
OmG 😱
I wish every immigrant support from the National Guards. This Mom raised 2 real hero’s!
You live in a fascist state now. Sorry🇨🇦
Yes, we are aware of that. You don’t have to say it and then put the flag of your own country which is not a fascist state. Unless you are trying to rub salt into our wounds?
And no, I don’t think you are sorry. You’re gloating.
Maybe a little… maybe it’s called for? You attack us economically and threaten to destroy our sovereignty and “ absorb” us and you expect… what exactly? Look, I’m really tired of the “ not all Americans “ bull💩. It is indeed ALL of you unless you take action and responsibility. Not Sorry🇨🇦
If you ever wondered what everyone would have done in 1930s Germany, you now know: NOTHING.
All of us will have to wear masks, sunglasses, and fatigues everywhere in order to protect the vulnerable going forward, won't we?
Come on, National Guard, do that for everyone else!
Wouldn't it have been awesome if her sons did that for others too? Now that would be impressive!
Good sons.
😢So sad that this has to be done in OUR COUNTRY!
The New Colossus. Dead as a snake in a wheat field.
It’s trump country for now and it sucks.
Just may be trump country for the next century. As long as the majority continues to either support this or are disinterested it gets much worse.
I sure hope not. I’m 67 so maybe I’ll outlive him and at least have that satisfaction.
Great idea to use their fake flag-shagging against them anyway but SO messed up that thinking this way is necessary
Until Americans reject Nazism it is going to become much worse.
You live in a fascist country
A really dumb dictatorship.
Come on Ken Burns! Come on Hollywood! 6 Months of photos and videos even more shocking, gut-wrenching, and anger inducing than this. String them together in the right way with some music and a great narrator, and you'll finally wake up The Sleeping Giant. The Sleeping Giant hates Fascists.
Yes, we hate fascists.
Oh don't worry. Ken burns said a while ago he had 10 projects he was working on. I don't think we will see it until 2028 so much more to document.
People (and production companies) are officially too afraid to do this.
Cowards
We need to see, hear the speeches claiming that ICE will be going after the cartels, MS13, gangs & the worst of the worst, then see the reality of detaining children & elderly people with no criminal record.
Yes we need this so badly.
Yes yes yes
Are the citizens willing to do what it takes to make the change to see the changes they want. The first very simple act is to vote for caring politicians. Second, accept the outcome of the elections if you don't. If the only criteria for your vote is 'the economy' this is the outcome.
👇👇💔
