ProPublica: More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Detained by ICE Agents

A ProPublica report finds that more than 170 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE agents at raids and protests across the country. More than 20 citizens were held in detention without being able to contact their loved ones or a lawyer. ICE agents also arrested 130 citizens, including a dozen elected officials, for allegedly interfering with or assaulting officers; those cases were dropped.

Dann können wir ja jetzt endlich konsequent DSA und DMA gegen Big Tech durchsetzen.

Und das mit der digitalen Souveränität endlich machen.

@markus_netzpolitik Mal ab von dem innewohnenenden Irrsinn, warum stellt eigentlich niemand Bedingungen an den Trumpel aus DC? Beispielsweise für die gesamten USA eine Sozial- und Rentenversicherung 1:1 nach dänischem Vorbild, zudem die vollständige Verlagerung der US-Regierung, weißes Haus samt Audienzsaal nach Myggbukta auf Grönland? Zum Golf spielen gibt es genügend Spalten in die Trump samt Entourage spurlos verschwinden kann.

Why & how this fascist takeover?

US oligarchs had always existed, but, until the 1970s, they tolerated some democracy.

The four simultaneous uprisings of the 60s gave them nightmares involving guillotines, so they launched this now culminating fascist project.

The Powell memo of 1971 was the launch pad. Rockefeller founded TriCom to dismantle the "excess of democracy" of the 1960s.

#PowellMemo #Neoliberalism #USPol #Europol #TrilateralCommission #USFascism .

The oligarchs were terrified by the mobilization of the left
in the 1960s: Huntington's so-called “excess of democracy”.
They planned counter-institutions to delegitimize &
marginalize critics of capitalism & imperialism.

They bought the allegiances of the two ruling political
parties. They imposed obedience to neoliberalism within
academia, government agencies & the press.

They neutered the liberal class & crushed popular
movements. They set the FBI on anti-war protestors, civil
rights, Black Panthers, American Indian Movement, Young
Lords & other groups that empowered the disempowered.
They broke labor unions, leaving 90% of the workforce
without union protections. Critics of capitalism &
imperialism, eg, Chomsky & Ralph Nader, were blacklisted.
The campaign, laid out by Lewis Powell Jr in his

1971 memorandum titled “Attack on American Free
Enterprise System,” set into motion the creeping corporate
coup d'etat, which five decades later, is complete.

The differences between the two ruling parties on
substantive issues — such as war, tax cuts, trade deals &
austerity — has become indistinguishable.

An 'excess of democracy': How corporations killed the campus

In 1971, a small band of "forgotten" businessmen fought off the enemy – radical academics et al – and won the day… and the future.

Completely fake, and yet horrific, AI-generated videos of ICE raids are going viral on Facebook. This is what happens when the Facebook algorithm rewards AI slop. Here's an example, more in here: https://www.404media.co/ai-generated-videos-of-ice-raids-are-wildly-viral-on-facebook/
