Know your ICE agent:
Being able to discern between a federally authorized ICE agent and a criminal kidnapper within seconds of first interaction is absolutely essential.
If your abductor is an ICE agent, you must obey, comply and submit. If your abductor is a criminal kidnapper, you are free to fight for your life.

"The “echo chamber” critique of #SocialMedia has been thoroughly debunked by researchers, who have consistently found the opposite to be true: people *not* on social media live in more sheltered #information environments than those who are...
social media essentially breaks down the echo chambers... exposing us to a lot of things that we’re not exposed in our everyday lives."

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for me, and there was no one left
To speak out for me.

It's not a very long poem, people.
No one is safe in an authoritarian regime. The regime will always need new "enemies" to throw to the masses.

“I want to stress how far off the rails this is in terms of not just our norms & our expectations but our laws,” Kruse said. “There’s a lot that’s deeply unconstitutional here. I get that they’re trying to flood the zone & overwhelm the opposition, but the opposition shouldn’t let itself be overwhelmed. It shouldn’t accept this as the new normal, which is what the administration wants us to do.”"

"Trump’s decision to fire senior military leaders without cause is foolish & a disgrace. It politicizes our professional #military in a dangerous & debilitating way. What frightens me even more is the removal of three judge advocates general, the most senior uniformed #legal authorities in the #Defense Department. Their removal is one more element of this administration’s attack on the rule of #law, & an especially disturbing part."
