So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

8/ This is a watershed moment, as Trump thumbs his nose at a Supreme Court ruling, gaslighting the public by pretending his won 9-0 when he lost 9-0. If we normalize this, there's no end. He can lock up or remove anyone. We will no longer exist in a democracy.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Highly recommend this excellent podcast as essential context for understanding the big picture of what is happening in the US. It uses examples from similar autocratic episodes around the world to highlight patterns and offers ways to fight back. open.spotify.com/episode/47iN...

I talked to @kimlanelaw.bsky.social about why experts on Orban and Hungary see all the same patterns playing out in the autocratic takeover. slate.com/news-and-pol...
