George Takei 
🏳️🌈🖖🏽The budget bill contains tens of billions to fund an army of 10,000 more ICE agents. This is a red alert moment for our democracy.
ABoulderBelowTheShoulders1@georgetakei So, what do we do, Uncle George? We go ninja!
Full on Ninja!
@georgetakei I do know Ninjas are assassins. I mean to do whatever is necessary, through any means, using any technique.
Urwumpe@georgetakei Pretty high costs considering that even moldy bread is better qualified.

Tom Homan standing behind a podium that says "Faith & Freedom" is rather ironic. Because I don't remember the Bible or Jesus saying that we should assault immigrants. These phonies use the Bible for cover for their evil acts.

derptron@georgetakei We're in Kobiashi territory. Red alert has been blasting non-stop for a while now. The captain is on the Klingons' side.
@crazyeddie @georgetakei Yeah, my thought too. We’re way past Red Alert time.
Maki 🔻@georgetakei Americans should just start deporting ICE agents. See how they like it!

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
(My addition: Then they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not an immigrant)
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

The red alert moment was Jan 6, 2021. Everything since is just residual nerve twitches of a brain dead country.

Will it pay for smart uniform shirts too? Brown or black are nice practical colours in their line of work.

WooShell@georgetakei The red alert has been blaring for months now. By now, people have become used to the sound.
VessOnSecurity@georgetakei You mean, like Biden's $45 bil to hire 24,600 additional armed IRS agents? At least the ICE agents will be coming (mostly) after illegal immigrants, while the IRS agents - definitely after American citizens...
Brian Clark@bontchev @georgetakei IRS staff aren’t armed. They don’t have armed “agents” like law enforcement agencies do.
"Is the IRS Hiring 'Armed Special Agents Prepared To Use Deadly Force'?":
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/irs-armed-agents/
Fact check: True
@bontchev @georgetakei show me a case where “armed IRS agents” did literally anything. Just because Snopes says this is true because we found a job posting” doesn’t mean anything
@deepthoughts10 @georgetakei It means that it is true and indeed IRS was hiring armed agents. What they were supposed to be used for is anyone's guess... Oh, wait, what are armed government agents normally used for?
humourmetom@georgetakei America will be a better place without all those Democrats
saucerlost@georgetakei
Way more people that won't take their shit than the 10k rent-a-bubba soldiers they might drum up.

staringatclouds@georgetakei Enough for multiple teams to stake out every polling station for the mid terms
Jay@georgetakei if you'd told me before the election that MAGA wouldn't need to establish a new armed force loyal to party rather than country, because they could fashion it from an existing government agency, I wouldn't have believed you.
tootbrute@georgetakei yet America has no money for health care or schools. Wtf
Robin Barton@georgetakei Fascism has such a sweet siren sound about it
Yeah, I don't think they're going to be ICE agents. They're going to be an army loyal to Trump who'll do the things the other agencies can't or won't do.
Immigration is just the pretext.
John E Bartley III (D) K7AAY📎@georgetakei With this budget, #ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the USMC. Police-state levels of spending. - @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY29:
- $45B for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4B
- $14.4B for transportation & removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8B for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

@georgetakei What a horrible man - Chief of the Gestapo
Phil Thane ✅@georgetakei
So the Faith & Freedom coalition that campaigns on low tax and small government supports 10,000 more ICE agents?

@georgetakei Yes well that probably be the moment that people need to organize militias to withstand that. Democrats should make use of their second amendment rights for a good cause - after all this administration has run out of hand.
AstroShineIt is phenomenal how unbelievably hateful these people are!
