A BBC fact check shows, ICE agents fired 10 shots into the back of nurse Alex Pretti while he was disarmed, face down, and pepper sprayed in the eyes.
The naive will now try to convince the Trump regime that surely, this cannot be the new normal.
The realists will figure out how to respond, because this IS the new normal.
There are 281 days to the midterms. Trump knows he will lose, unless he finds a way to suppress the will of the people. For that, he needs his paramilitary force.
@randahl act as if there will be no midterms. The regime already acts as if there will be no midterms. There will probably be no midterms.
And even if: when you cannot leave the house without the risk of being killed by the government, this is not a democratic election anymore.
Don't wait for whatever "midterms".
@randahl Psychopathen
I don't need no stinkin' AI
@randahl Is that a Hugo Boss coat?
Keep in mind ICE occupation is a great Epstein diversion which would definitely be his Waterloo. It is crucial for him to delay or hide the Epstein files at all costs. The ICE goons are simply unaware, paid pedophile protectors who are promised money and protection, the same tactics he used on little girls he lured into being his sex objects.
@randahl the interesting one will be ice ICE will be stationed outside polling stations in blue states to intimidate voters, or make voters there is a risk of being abducted by ICE IF THEY GO TO VOTE
that will be trumps way of rigging the vote in blue states
@M0PWX I think you are right, that is a likely scenario.
@randahl “Trump knows he will lose, unless he finds a way to suppress the will of the people.” He’s also calling on the Senate to pass the SAVE Act, which would require voters to present passports or birth certificates that match their legal names. This would disenfranchise millions of people who have difficulty accessing those documents or have had a name change for any reason. Important to call your senators and yell at them about it.
That's why people should stay calm, don't give him the opportunity, the excuse, to unleash his dogs.

@randahl I would like to boost what you wrote, but not with this picture. :/
@randahl And this is one o the reasons the DHS and DOJ are telling Gov. Walz in order to stop this give us Minnesota's voter rolls.
Ultimately, in all these "Blue States/Cities" they want voter rolls in order to suppress people's right to vote.
This is nothing new. And this may be a legal way to do it. Once you have the rolls you just state who you think is a terrorist at the time of voting.
I know here in NC the GOP just did away with Early Voting because it hurts them in midterms.
@randahl The coat looks like it belongs to the Waffen SS, how fitting
an addendum:
i see an unfortunate sentiment out there
"they intend to block the #midterm #elections... voting is pointless"
some of this is the usual #trollfarm #psyop
some are people genuinely that spineless
you have to fucking #vote
yes the #democrats suck
but they aren't #fascism
it's not a fucking romance, it's just tactics in a larger war
if people don't vote in the #midterms out of whiny weak #prematureCapitulation, we are fucked. and we deserve it
VOTE motherfuckers
@randahl
via The Guardian:
"US senator warned that Republicans would lose elections if prices continue to rise, prompting president to respond ‘fuck you, Ted’"

@sleeve98 yes. It will be interesting to see what happens once the panic sets in. As Steve Bannon said: “If we lose, some of us are going to jail — myself included”.
Why is he cosplaying a Nazi? Oh, he IS a Nazi.
@randahl @briankrebs I see he’s wearing his favourite “My L’il Brownshirt” outfit again
@randahl Looks a bit like the waffen SS coat. Just saying.
@randahl
Bovino is a descendant of a Mussolini supporter, or am I mistaken?
@randahl is it true, that this is the new uniform of the ICE?
He will try it…
But all of a sudden I have to think of the storming of the Bastille and the storming of the Capitol…
This regime will not last.
@randahl He’s not trying to win on approval anymore. It’s clear he’s aiming to steal an election. Look out, Americans.
@randahl
And he will. By instigating uprest and then f**k them over by force. Trump said in 2024: If you vote for me now, you wont need to vote again. Watch out. You have a second Putin.
@randahl Let us also look at our own situation in Europe. How are far-right groups reacting in Denmark and elsewhere? In France, they welcome the ICE's methods, with some even saying that raids should be carried out to capture anyone who is not ‘in order’.
@randahl we have an executive who seems to be able to shut down and send home entire executive departments with impunity, summarily shut down funded and lawful programs written into law, but the best congress can offer is to threaten FUTURE funding of DHS/ICE? The minority party needs to STOP insisting on playing only by the rules. The correlary to fighting fire with fire is fighting shit with shit. It hurts, but is it not warranted?
@randahl this is not a “new normal”; unless we do something to change course, it will never be this good again.
(What I’ve been saying about climate change for years, now also applies to the political climate)
@randahl is this being deliberately escalated so to intimidate people and suppress voting, clearly anyone who doesn't look purely European will be afraid to come out.
@oatmeal that is one angle. Another angle could be that fear and intimidation could make people move away from the country, and those most inclined to avoid the US are the left leaners.

@randahl Wow, all that's missing there is the SS lightning lapel bars and the deaths-head-logo cap. Fuck this tiny, evil man. 🤬
Front and centre, the thug responsible. He should be in front of a court of real law right now.
@randahl hey look, it's that guy the Germans say "dresses like a nazi", maybe they have a point?
The Ernst Rohm fuck that Bovino is!
@randahl they are LARPing their way through ppls lifes/deaths until they are feared enough to shut down anything by just appearing. Ppl peed their pants at the sight of GeStaPo. That is what they are aiming at. In contrary though, ICE/GOP are dilettantes so lets hope they fail at that too.
@randahl
I hope I live long enough to see them crying on the witness stand at The Hague.
@randahl Nazis can't be reformed
@randahl
This is the Orange lunatic's I could shoot someone on 5th ave and not lose voters moment
@randahl aha - I'd been predicting the emergence of Gestapo-style trenchcoats. Didn't expect them to appear so quickly. Fits.
@randahl
He will not have it.
Dems will not vote for these representatives if they fund this version of ICE.
They know it.
@randahl will ICE be monitoring the elections given Trump's insistence that they're stolen?
I did see someone make a connection that ICE are active somewhere that refused to give Trump the keys to the election machinery.

@randahl And to invoke the Insurrection Act.
