For most of the last decade, our media and political class has panicked over the idea that progressives were intruding on free speech rights by loudly criticizing people with unpopular views.

Anyway, here's far-right federal paramilitaries advertising that they'll rip down pro-immigrant messages.

Just an occupying force going around vandalizing my neighborhood to remove speech they don't like.

This is thuggish and counterproductive to any law enforcement goal they may pretend to have. It just highlights that unprofessional goons are occupying DC.

As if this week were not bizarre enough: Mount Pleasant residents tell me a group of federal agents gathered for a photo-op near a pro-immigrant banner, pictured below, then tore it down.

In its place, they left a dildo. A neighbor's Ring camera captured the whole thing...

For every poster welcoming immigrants ICE takes down, put up 20 more. They don't have the numbers to take over this country. Not if we show up IN FORCE.

Also, as @danahoule.bsky.social points out, one clear theme of ICE's little reign of terror is that they are EXTREMELY sensitive to murals, signs, and other displays criticizing ICE. Which means that one of the most effective ways to attack the agency is to produce those things in great numbers
