You have the right to bear arms.
You have the right to film feds.
You have the right to protest.
These rights don't go away simply because they're inconvenient for the government.
@SwipeWright I generally agree with this argument but how high, exactly, is your bar? It didn’t get met by what we saw on Saturday, followed by the 1984 defamation campaign?
With Bovino and Miller, Nazi is now the moderate’s assessment.
Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.
This is one that stands out:

@AliAbunimah@dammitfisher@Tyler_A_Harper@jaycaspiankang Ultimately, yes. That’s what insurrection against tyranny looks like. Guerrilla warfare and dead civilians. It would not be pretty.
But it remains the only, final recourse for a population to maintain its rights, if pushed far enough. The possibility alone is a check.
Gun owners: here's what the feds — remember that's what we used to call them, The Feds — are telling you, plain as day: if legally exercising your 2nd Amendment rights scares a masked federal agent, they get to murder you belly down, dead in the street even if you're disarmed. 5/
This isn't something I like to talk about in public — the point of concealed carry is not to draw attention — but like many Americans, I carry everyday. The purpose of the second Amendment is the prevention of tyranny. What happened today was tyrannical, so I wrote about it. 🧵
Thanks @reidhoffman for speaking out.
No matter how large or small your following, if you’re in tech and you’re appalled by this barbarism, please post or retweet! Decent people have been Silicon Valley’s silent majority for too long.
@SJLoveridge@dccommonsense@RHPD8645 There’s a more plausible explanation to consider: Dan is right and you have your head so far up Trump’s ass you forgot which way is up.
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today. ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
The number of people gleefully defending shooting a man on the ground with 4 or 5 guys on top of him kicking him and punching him in MN today is disgusting. I covered police shootings. No police dept. in
America could do this and not have a comprehensive hearing/trial afterward.
To all the congressional Democrats who say they’re in the minority so you can’t do anything here’s an idea- start whipping together the votes to replace Hakeem Jeffries who let this happen. Maybe for once think about what the country needs not just what preserves your own power.
@kenklippenstein This is incorrect. Congress has not yet renewed ICE’s budget. House voted but Senate hasn’t yet. They need 10 Dem votes in the Senate. We can still stop it
