Here's one Democrat who's not afraid of his own shadow -- calling out America's Gestapo (aka Ice) for its attacks, which are going to escalate massively, on our nation:

Most Democrats -- and basically ALL of Big Media -- are too cowardly to yell about what is happening.

Many of us will not link to BS so I will Alt-text this and repost the screenshot because Everyone should have access to this information.

@noondlyt Exactly! Especially right now, it is becoming more obvious Bluesky is not a “safe” space. But this graphic really says a lot. ICE stockpiling explosives, missile warheads (!!!), chemical weapons. Soooo, the People aren’t going to be able to stand up to a rogue and authoritarian federal government when so massively overpowered by weapons. That a President who is building his own personal army. This personal army is becoming more funded, armed and manned than the armed forces. So, this is A-OK with most Republicans and a majority of the citizens?

@cobalt123 @noondlyt they’re not. It’s a bullshit story forged in sloppiness and repeated through fear mongering and laziness

@jonathankoren @cobalt123

"who wants to take bets that some contracting officer working to get in under the FY submission deadline couldn't figure out that a bulk order of smoke grenades did a CTRL+F search for "Chemical" and used the first result (1336) instead of scrolling through to the correct result (1365)?"

This is supposition not proof or fact

@noondlyt @cobalt123 people that were born at least month ago wouldn’t believe ICE is suddenly fielding Javelin ATGMs

@noondlyt @jonathankoren @cobalt123

That quote is a small portion of the reddit post being referenced.

The categories used in the FPDS appears to be extremely broad, and you can't say just because purchase X was categorised under group Y that they bought lots of Y, especially in the context of errors that can occur in data input.

There is no specific detail that I can see in the original post from Popular Information (popular.info) which indicate actual purchase of "guide missile warheads". That's not to say their claim of obscene budget isn't valid (which I have not checked btw).

On the other hand, below link is part of what the reddit thread talked about:
https://www.fpds.gov/ezsearch/fpdsportal?indexName=awardfull&templateName=1.5.3&s=FPDS.GOV&q=%22guided+missile%22+AND+%22immigration%22&x=0&y=0

Scroll through to the 3rd entry for Sept 19, 2025.

Now consider the Product Service Code, Principal NAICS code, the description of requirements, a cursory review of the supplier in question, and the total sum of 61k USD. Yes, I'd be inclined to think smoke grenades or something of that nature. This is potentially the basis of a sloppy claim of "ICE purchasing guided missile warheads". [edit: not necessarily this particular purchase, just the unwarranted interpretation of a broad purchasing category of which this purchase is used as an example]

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

@crouton @noondlyt @jonathankoren @cobalt123 This claim isn't really that extraordinary is it?

"They" would very certainly do this if they thought they could. "They" are just ignoring all checks and laws that say they can't. "They" are becoming more and more violent the more we refuse to engage them at that level. Trump definitely wants to be king, take over, and he is obviously using ICE as his own army to attack Americans. He's making militarily aggressive postures.

They'd want good arms

@crazyeddie @crouton @noondlyt @cobalt123 yes, it is that extraordinary.

Who is trained to use it?
Where would they even put it?
Where would they use this?

You cant just pick up a missile and use it like you do in a video game. And you can’t store them in a closet. Then, assuming Temu Gestapo does get one and knows how to shoot it without killing themselves, what are they shooting? A truck with a Mexican immigrant in it? The frog that stands TWENTY FEET FROM THEIR FUCKING DOOR???

Why would they give this stuff to ICE, when they could just have the fucking military do it, since you know, they already have the stuff, know how to use it, and have shown theres enough of them to murder some dudes just cruising around in a boat?

Fucking THINK Bro

@jonathankoren @crouton @noondlyt @cobalt123 Qualifications and training are irrelevant to this administration and the whole of the current US government that is folding to it.

They'd use it in Chicago, who he's already suggested will learn why it's called department of "war".

Yes, they'd use it to blow up frogs. That's who they are.

Because some in the military might say no. ICE is full of Jan 6 insurrectionists and traitors who signed up for the task.

I ain't your bro if you like that.

@crouton @jonathankoren @cobalt123

Quibbling about the monstrous funding of jackboot nazis who have tear gassed citizens, zip tied children, and kidnapped people for deportation to become indentured slaves in other dictatorships is pretty fucking astounding. Focus on the right stuff please. Stop carrying water for a wholly corrupt agency. Unfucking believable how much you and everyone in that goddamn reddit thread have missed the point. GO FUCK YOURSELVES!

@noondlyt @crouton @cobalt123 Getting the very basic facts right isn't a "quibble". It's what reasonable adults do.

But yes, you can go fuck yourself, but I'd rather you do something spicier instead.

@jonathankoren @cobalt123 @noondlyt Everything is about increasing fear right now. Everyone, on all sides, wants us afraid because it makes us easy to manipulate and stops critical thinking. Some want us cowering in the corner afraid to act. Some want us taking up arms afraid not to. Some just want to sell subscriptions to the fear factory.

Yep. Gotta be careful out there.

If they can they will. He's got the real military but some of them might actually be loyal to country over him.

@noondlyt @dangillmor

count me among them.

fedi or bust  
and ALWAYS alt-text

@noondlyt @dangillmor If I were an American I would be deeply worried about this. Having a military that only obeys him is a requirement for a Dictator. On the other hand, he would only need to do this if he thinks he can't count on the legitimate military to obey him. The stone cold reception the military heads gave him at the recent meeting puts that in doubt. Will we one day see American soldiers defending Americans against Trumpist stormtroopers? Time will tell.
@anne_twain @noondlyt @dangillmor The cold reception may give him pause, but the fact that they're taking the retirement route probably lifts his spirits.
@noondlyt @dangillmor chemical weapons and missile warheads? If ICE had its own country, someone would invade it by now because of that.

@dangillmor

"Guided missile warheads and explosive components..."

Why do they need this?

@davidtheeviloverlord @dangillmor I’d like to see more about this, because this sounds like bullshit. We don’t need to make shit up, when there’s already so much fascist actions going on

@dangillmor

Trump’s Schutz Staffel in the making… a private army, to bully and suppress.

@xs4me2 @dangillmor Or simply kill off the opposition

@grumpydad @dangillmor

Well, all it takes to neutralize this is a well regulated militia that defends the Constitution. That unimaginable point is coming closer…

@dangillmor
ICE Stockpiling weapons.

Guess why the orange emperor will not give some missiles or other weapons to Ukraine.

maga and the disgusting felon in office is definitely preparing to attack its home country.

@dangillmor

ICE is the American Schutzstaffel.

This is far beyond the Gestapo.

@dangillmor But, but - we have our guns! the Rabid defense of the second amendment 🙄
@dangillmor Dan, My DRM Senators, plus many others have yelled to high heaven. It’s just not being reported.
@dangillmor This was clear from day one. He is making an extrajudicial army to overthrow the US government.
