The fact all these ice agents look like they are in a militia really shows their agenda. Why can't they look like normal police officers?

Let's see, Healthcare United just got caught killing elders by forging DNRs and not treating stroke victims. Then the conservatives snuck in an amendment to ban all abortion nationwide from being covered by healthcare. Radio silence....
Yeah it is clear media is complicit at this point. They don't want you to know the truth.
What was the abortion thing?
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/05/trump-bill-planned-parenthood-gender-affirming-care/
They are trying to ban all ACA health plans from covering abortion. This hits home for me because we lost a child at nine months and we have a certificate of abortion.
These dumb fucks don't even know that technically all miscarriages and pregnancy complications that result in the death of the fetus are considered abortions.
Fucking pig men making decisions about shit they don't even understand.
"The ACA marketplaces provide affordable health insurance plans to a large number of Americans, with over 96% of HealthCare.gov enrollees"
Needless to say this is completely illegal in a reconciliation bill that is supposed to contain no new policies. They don't care they are breaking the law because no one will call them on it. Hell, people don't even know it happened.
Wait until they start arresting media figures.
The media's real response..."Cha-ching! Feed me!"
I hate how the media doesn't call out anything this regime does as what it is. They softball everything.
And I somewhat get that news articles should be facts with no editorializing. But this stuff is the political weaponization of the DOJ. It's not an opinion, it's a fact at this point.
This is what's been happening throughout both Trump presidencies and elections and probably long before. Sanewashing, attacks on the left, and nothing but compliance. Journalism has been dead in America for decades.
No ody wants to be on the bad side and have the government for after them. It's so funny everything the Republicans blamed them Democrats for they are doing.
Hmm wonder if they have a secret pizzeria where they eat children.
Do you mean the oligarch owned media?
Other citizen-oriented media is better for a broader “allowable discourse” around what big money is up to.
TL;DR:
The DOJ charged Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver with "assaulting" an ICE agent after she tried to visit a detention center in her district.
Footage shows ICE agents were the aggressors during McIver’s visit.
The charges are politically motivated and part of a broader pattern of Trump targeting opposition figures (especially Black Democrats) who challenge his policies.
The media’s coverage has been extremely soft on criticism for these alarming abuses of executive power, but this is nothing new to those of us who have seen the news in the last 12 years.
Somehow the article (and your summary) leave out the actual complain.
ABC news: "She is accused of making "forcible contact" with authorities, including allegedly slamming her forearm into a Homeland Security Investigations agent and pushing and using "each of her forearms to forcibly strike" an ICE officer, according to the complaint".
Exactly, trumped up charges so they pretend they have an actual reason to do what Cheeto Mussolini wants.
Sorry, I'm just summarizing the article to practice my writing. if it isn't in the article I usually won't catch it. Thanks for the additional context though!
I love this VR simulation of Turkey, where are going next? Russia?
Wait how do I get out of the VR, I think my system is bugged.
Ah, this must be the "meritocracy" I keep hearing about. For some reason I thought you had to be a member of the Trump family or a Fox News host to take part.
