I’m waiting for some of those right-wingers who were just so terribly indignant about those awful libs’ callous indifference to the shooting of Charlie Kirk to remember that _oh right, they are totally opposed to unlawful killings being treated as a matter for flippancy or spiteful glee, no matter how much you may have politically disagreed with the victim_. Waiting… Still waiting… Huh, I’m starting to think that maybe those terribly indignant right-wingers weren’t actually being sincere about their principles. 😮 ---

Whoa, I used to work for a public utility, and they were continually running educational campaigns on watching out for fake workers trying to get access to your property and to insist on seeing proper id with the person in the appropriate clothing (with illustrations of the correct ones). Is he saying the utilities are cooperating with ICE by giving them uniforms/ids??? ---

A lot of this is behind a paywall, but he gives the impression that the Utility is listing warnings on its web site. Whether they are cobbling together costumes on their own or not is probably in the part of the article that is blurred out. ---

I really think Trump is just using ICE as fodder. His over the top bullshit can be taken in no other way but as purposely incendiary. He doesn’t give a shit about the woman that got killed (obviously) but he also doesn’t give a shit about the ICE officers. He was just waiting for one of them to do something stupid like this so he could fan the flames. And sooner or later, someone is going to get really pissed off and mow down a bunch of ICE agents and Trump will come in his pants. ---

Well according to the Vice President, they’re already going door-to-door, and in fact that’s what they were doing when they murdered this woman. > **[Aaron Rupar (@aaron.rupar) on Threads](https://www.threads.com/@aaron.rupar/post/DTQvxOACa_F?xmt=AQF0jJf7cbNYOmS9aoD5K0KW7Piv69kanxIgpHoRiQ5sOXPpHcwLryNSk978Ubwx_jDyPDXw&slof=1)** > > JD Vance: "It was a legitimate law enforcement operation.

Also, Fox local affiliates frequently have nothing to do with Fox News; in fact, where I live, the local Fox news channel is more reliable than the local ABC news channel, which is owned by the right-wing [Sinclair Broadcast Group](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinclair_Broadcast_Group) and shows its bias pretty often. ---

He needs to be cuffed, with a hood over his head, and moved. He needs to be tried by a judge who is not bribed and does have balls. He needs to serve his time in an off site w/o access to phone/radio/lawyer in a 3x5 concrete cell in solitary confinement. Food twice a day. Exercise once a week. And if the Greasy Fat Smelly Sunkist Orange asks where he is, we need to say, “Who…?” ---

The Daily Mail (yes, I know, it’s a trash publication, but this article appears to be well-sourced) reports that ICE’s hiring binge is producing a washout rate of nearly one-third, with officer candidates who are illiterate, morbidly obese and incapable of physical labor, have pending criminal charges, incapable of passing drug tests, among other things, and they’ve stopped requiring sit-ups in the physical exam because most of their recruits couldn’t pass it. > **[Bombshell Daily Mail investigation reveals chaos inside ICE hiring](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15345295/ICE-campaign-hire-deportation-officers-unfit-violent-illiterate.html)** > > ICE recruits with no experience are being fast-tracked into the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, where instructors are astounded at their incompetence. ---
