Call them by their correct name, Trump’s Thugs. He wants his name on everything, so accommodate him.
What I want to know is, how they managed to hire, vet, suit up and arm so many so fast?

God help us all.
If this is happening to 51% of people, plus others, it will certainly happen to the rest of our citizens, as well. The erasure of data is Orwellian. We are heading for dystopia at full speed. For those already injured by this trajectory, dystopia, is already here.

I think they should more accurately be called his Gestapo.

Featured as a series in our local paper, which at the time was owned by Lee Enterprises. I don’t expect to see anything like their in-depth series again as they have been sold a little bit further to the right.
And how the tribal police failed their own people. Violence against women ignored.

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

if other countries’ expriences can expect to be repeated here, impunity will tend over time to result in demands of sex in exchange for favorable treatment, outright rape, and sexualized torture. Ithappens almost everywhere when discipline is lax and citizen disrespect makes the goons more hateful themselves.
It’s ethnic cleansing. The facial and skin features for which ICE are profiling, are indigenous American features. Full stop. What makes Hispanic people different from other indigenous Americans is that their ancestral, indigenous mothers were raped by Spaniards.
I’m still waiting for Democrats to fully line up against ethnic cleansing. They ought to start by always calling it what it is, always leading with what it is, and always being against the ethnic cleansing that it is.
Everywhere. Always.
The President believes in ethnic cleansing. The whole cabinet believes in ethnic cleansing. The entirety of ICE believes in ethnic cleansing. The ethnic cleansing would halt quickly if the President ordered it so. He won’t because he believes whole-rotten-heartedly in ethnic cleansing.
Putin believes in ethnic cleansing. Netanyahu believes in ethnic cleansing. The President whole-rotten-heartedly supports them both.
Maybe some cabinet and ICE have allowed themselves to become bribed, coerced or blackmailed into acting like they believe in ethnic cleansing, when their rotten hearts might not be fully in it. It doesn’t matter. What we can observe is their behavior and their behavior is ethnic cleansing.
We need to call ethnic cleansing what is is and be completely against it.
Easy. Skip the vetting.
