"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7." @timmiller.bsky.social talked to a veteran who ICE wrongly detained and brutalized

I do not understand why charges are not filed against ICE personnel committing crimes, just like police officers or FBI agents. Why do Democrats not demand a tribunal of some sort to police ICE or specific to ICE complaints. There are videos. There are witnesses. Reports by news agency.

All of this is for what ,again? I just don’t get what this is supposed to prove. I know their game is fear and they are indeed creating fear but the actual story, the truth is nothing is going on. Manufacturing lies is a losing business these days. Phones capture the truth.📲 They are just so stupid

You do realize that's our taxpayer money that would be paying damages. Not that the guy shouldn't sue- he should EVERYONE involved. I wish he could sue them and get paid by them personally. If it's our tax dollars, where's the pain for them? I hope these sick fucks reap everything they've sown 🤬🤬🤬

On top of all the craziness of what happened to this man… why would it take 4-5 days at the federal detention center in Los Angeles before they figure out that he’s a U.S. citizen? I’m glad he’s got a lawsuit going.

The inhumane and illegal abuse of this citizen/veteran is a metaphor for Trump’s fascist criminal regime’s treatment of America in general. Trump is so far outside of laws, the Constitution and basic human decency that he no longer legitimately represents America. He’s seceded.

You're the defender of USA?"What the fuck? How is this real? I'm.. I'm like... I'm.. My blood is boiling right now. I knew that it was bad but I didn't realize how bad it was. That's fucking insane. That's like something from a TV show. Like you're in Guantanamo or something. How is that possible?"

In a different way, what was done to me and many other Americans, is as bad or worse than what was done to this veteran He got out He got back to his family He endured only days What shocks me is how The Bulwark of Democracy is so detached, entitled and UNAWARE! bsky.app/profile/ludi...

The most critical event is 30 seconds in. Citizen says something ICE goes for citizen's throat ICE tackles to ground. A mask dehumanizes any person by making them unidentifiable. It gives the best of us license to be bad. It turned ICE into ICE's Chicago Strangler bsky.app/profile/ludi...

"My blood is boiling" Ha! You're pulse rate isn't even up. Look at what THE REAL bulwarks of Democracy are doing while you think this is TV. This guy faced ICE down, unarmed! He GRABBED HIS BELT so he COULD NOT hit back and let ICE agent STRANGLE him so people like Tim Miller know about it.

@timmiller.bsky.social, you can probably quote Martin Niemoeller word for word, but YOU HAVE NO IDEA what it means or what it's like. MAGA holds everything in red, we hold the blue. They control food, power, transportation, heat - everything we need to live. They can starve us out if they choose.

But he was already brutalized. He was already arrested, stripped, humiliated and tortured. No amount of money will ever take him back in time to be at his daughter’s third birthday party. I know you know this, my point is that the law is failing us. It’s not protecting us or making us whole.

When are you going to say ENOUGH, Americans?? I mean 30 million people on the streets - not 2% of you! 20 fucking percent! 60 million. Stand for something! Or you WILL lose your country! WAKE. THE. FUCK. UP!

#Trumpism is a dangerous cult enabled by "faithful followers" who willingly gave up all their morals, values, standards, common sense, self-respect, & critical thinking skills just to follow, serve, support, worship, & defend their #PedoPresident They thrive on violence! #NoMorals #NoConscience

The scariest part is not telling anyone where you are being detained. How fuck'n crazy is that? They have no idea if you are even still in the country in some cases. This is worse than Guantánamo. At least those guys have lawyers. WTF. 🤬

The president was given the power to disappear anybody by the NDAA of 2012. That's when democracy ended and fascism was given a green light in this country. Under President Obama.

Democracy actually ended in December 2000, when the five Republican SCOTUS justices halted the statewide Florida recount, usurped the role and will of voters, and appointed THEIR party's nominee George W. Bush president-elect. Rehnquist, Thomas, Scalia, O'Connor, and Kennedy killed democracy.

That was a really bad day. I decided to adopt a stray dog on the corner to try to take my mind off the crazy. Still, it didn’t really "kill democracy" as inflict a bad injury. Trump has really gone all-in on fascism and militarized rule.

I didn't say that, did I? Try reading my words instead of inserting yours. I said the NDAA of 2012 was under Obama, and I said it greenlit fascism. I did not say Obama exercised that power. But he didn't veto it to deny future presidents that power, either.

Afaik until Jan 20, 2025 ICE & CBP weren't sent to attack and arrest random US citizens to "Protect the American People against [an imaginary] Invasion". The National Guard and the Army weren't deployed in American cities either.

The GestaOPo are the Perverts. That is absolutely AntiAmerican and repulsive. It begs the question: Do you finally UNDERSTAND why the rest of us were so concerned about W's psycho policies? They are in fact being used as WEAPONS against the US Population Today! Even Obama was WAY too RW extremist!

The fact that the U.S. military, LE and members of the medical community are enthusiastically willing to support unlawful orders tells you everything you need to know about where the country is. Fascism is coming, it’s already here.

"Doing all this is a big responsibility as well, just sharing my story, keeping it alive, letting it be known." Thank you George for your service, they are getting more than what they bargained for.

I know, but I was asking about protests against the arrests of random US citizens during "his last term":

UpNorth Liberty Consortium@cathie4noh8.bsky.social

This isn’t news. People were brutalized his last term, too. There should have been Nuremberg style trials after his last admin, but we only focused on Jan 6. Merrick Garland should be tried for not doing his job as AG for Biden

Well, shit. I was gonna race in here and play the smug "I'm not surprised and you're an asshole if you are" card, but you got here first. And the rules say that the first person to respond in that manner wins. Well played.

This *is* terrible- and there is a need to recognize that anyone shocked by the conditions he was kept under is missing the fact that ANYONE kept in detention, whether "ordinary jail" or ICE facility, is kept in conditions like this.
