Federal authorities and state police gave his first name as Jose, but family members said it was Josué. DHS and state police did not explain the discrepancy.
Who care, close enough, right Mrs. Noem?
I wonder do they still get their bonus? Probably get some extra knowing how corrupt they are.
And the blood on Trumps hands continues to grow.
GOP: "Mission Accomplished"
I feel paralyzed. I am sick and we have been protesting for months with no real results.
That is exactly where the orange tumors handlers want you to be.
Fascists have never historically given up power peacefully, unfortunately
Unfortunately, peaceful protest isn't the action necessary to deal with nazis.
falling right into the russian trap i see
That's because peaceful protests don't stop fascism. The fascists don't care.
You're not alone. I'm beyond despair at the daily disregard for all civility. The only thing which hurts more is the passivity of the people I once knew.
part of a “targeted, intelligence-based” operation
Someone ratted him out.
Not necessarily, ICE is now monitoring social media to identify and target illegal immigrants. If your account is already flagged as one, a simple public post with tagged location can be enough for an "intelligence based operation".
Be safe out there, try to not leave any public trace.
I’m not disagreeing with you, but if they were targeting him specifically it’s probably likely that another employee turned to him in. It happens all the time.
The problem with making that assumption is that it downplays the very scary degree of spying technology (evidenced by contracts with firms that supply such) they are using.
It's a new degree of surveillance escalation to this fascist organization, and it's bad news for everyone.
Everyone in the US should be dumping their social media, and if they must, creating burner accounts. I gave up on social media long ago, and burn everything every few weeks.
Cause we know everything out of this admin's mouth is the truth right?
As opposed to dumbness based like they usually do?
Right. No magical tracking of the brown people, just an asshole coworker.
I'm always amazed how bodies can keep piling up and nobody really cares in the US. What does it take before society as a whole says "enough!"? A lot, apparently.
nobody really cares in the US
We just had the largest protest in our country’s history, are you confused?
Yeah, I'd take issue with the idea that nobody really cares.
Nobody in power cares, but that's not the same.
For one whole day too! We all deserve a cookie!
Remember, the US, while likes to sell itself as the "sole winner of WW2", the "main force that beat the Nazis", actually profited off the war by selling equipment to both the Allies and Axis powers, and had regular Nazi marches that largely went by unprotested, up until Pearl Harbor.
So, what does it take for the US to stand up in unity?
A clear-cut attack against the US as a whole.
You mean like ICE?
ICE isn't an attack against the US. A third of the country is in support of these chucklefucks.
The only unifying force is an external threat - like 9/11 showed.
As an outside it’s is bizarre to see, esp against the rhetorical image of the American we have seen in the last 50 years.
I understand that any violence will be used against protestors and I feel that unfortunately as any peaceful protest is blatantly ignored (at this points it’s almost being mocked), violence is likely to occur.
Question is what is the line? It’s not abuse of minorities, it’s not protection of the greedy, it’s not personal privacy.
As an insider it’s bizarre. There’s a lot of fear here, and it’s exacerbated by the fact that there’s a large and very vocal, and very violent minority who is intermixed throughout the populace. That minority is being coaxed on to violence by the oligarchy, actively.
Then we have the “prodding outsiders” who believed the American exceptionalism propaganda exports, and are now shoving that in our faces goading us on “why won’t you be the first to stand up and get shot in the face? Why won’t your heroes DO anything?!”
Because most of us are kind, gentle, very tired people who are probably waiting for this to all “blow over” which likely won’t happen by itself.
Thanks for your concern I guess.
I think it’s just so unreal for many. I understand that most people are scared and tired too. I am Apprehensive of what is coming because it’s the innocent who get the brunt. I wish Peace and love could win through.
As an outside it’s is bizarre to see, esp against the rhetorical image of the American we have seen in the last 50 years.
It's definitely just a rhetorical image. Growing up here, it's maddening to grow up with the morals we ascribe to, then to endlessly see how they don't play exist in practice
That's why it's not just a counter messaging effort to reclaim those core patriotic symbols of America. The Statue of Liberty is an icon of immigrants. The Pledge of Allegiance, while weird in many ways, has the line "liberty and justice for all". The original revolutionary articles talk about unaccountable agents of the king. People have many of these ideas forged into their core during their childhood, even if in adulthood they're covered over with layers of cynicism because normal times America still didn't really live up to them. And because of that they're a valuable appeal to a more patriotic self that believed those things were good and were important and that violating them so egregiously is extreme and obscene and worthy of attention and action.
Trump supporters: Good!
Others: Let's keep peacefully protesting and posting our dissent online, that'll show them!
Narrator: But it didn't show them, and the US collapsed.
