Fascist paramilitary invaders team up with local fascists to brutalize protesters after dragging abductee out of hospital. (Brooklyn, NY • 05/03/2026)

Video source https://reddit.com/comments/1t32d8f

Article: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/03/nyregion/ice-arrest-protest-nyc-hospital.html

The chaos erupted just before 10:30 p.m., when agents brought the man to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in the Bushwick neighborhood. The Department of Homeland Security identified him as Chidozie Wilson Okeke, an immigrant from Nigeria who had overstayed a visa. Agents had used force during his arrest and he had requested medical attention, the department said in a statement.

A local group that tracks Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents’ vehicles had apparently followed them to the hospital, said Sandy Nurse, the local city councilwoman, who was present during the demonstration. As many as 200 protesters gathered outside the hospital while the detainee was inside, and some began throwing garbage cans into the street, the police said. Officers received numerous 911 calls and took several people into custody, the police said.

Hours later, agents brought the man out of the hospital. Around 2:15 a.m., officers responded to new reports of protesters blocking the ambulance bay, the police said. Videos show two federal agents dragging the detained man, who is handcuffed, out of a hospital exit, down a short staircase and into the ambulance bay, where he appears to fall to the ground.

The two agents then stand over him while police officers hold back protesters who are shouting at the agents. Moments later, the agents pull the man up by the arms and drag him into a waiting car.

Sixty-two percent of this country has looked at the man in the Oval Office and said no. That is not a whisper. That is a hull breach. But a cornered animal doesn't retreat — it reaches for the nearest sovereign nation and flings it at the wall. Cuba. An aircraft carrier. An executive order before lunch. The disapproval is real. https://twp.ai/9OV23d #News #Politics #Democracy #TrumpDisapproval #Cuba #CorneredAnimal #Authoritarianism #PollNumbers #Resistance #lgbtqia #trans

It's ironic to see those same global elites who love partying with the likes of known & convicted child sex-trafficker Jeffrey #Epstein now urging worldwide restrictions on E2E / #VPN & promoting age, biometric, and identity verification online - all in the name of protecting children It’s also highly suspicious that so many of the world’s biggest countries are trying to implement this wider #internet control at the same time. Feels like a major push toward #authoritarianism to me. #Privacy

Age verification laws forcing platforms to restrict content access have been multiplying exponentially. The problem is, implementing such measures necessarily requires identifying every user accessing the content, one way or another. This is bad news for everyone. If these regulations continue to proliferate, this could lead to the end of pseudonymity online, and much worse. I wrote this article last year, but unfortunately this problem has only become worse, and it is sadly still very relevant. https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/05/06/age-verification-wants-your-face/ #Privacy #AgeVerification #MassSurveillance #Authoritarianism

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) just inked a $12.2 million contract for an artificial intelligence tool that claims to map out immigrants’ daily routines, habits, and real-time location and categorize them as potential threats, per procurement records reviewed by the Lever. Dubbed “Project SAFE HAVEN,” the product is advertised by defense vendor Edge Ops LLC as a “question-based AI interface” that uses “persistent passive data collection” to map “patterns of life,” a surveillance tactic that ICE says will identify the “habitual locations, routes, and behavioral patterns” of its targets. Additional features of the technology described in procurement documents include real-time location tracking and analysis that will categorize individuals and groups as affiliated with ostensible criminal organizations, such as gangs or cartels. That includes building “target profiles” that track individuals’ activity by linking data obtained from Wi-Fi network connections and mobile smart devices, such as cell phones and smartwatches. A promotional blurb for the tool on Edge Ops LLC’s website claims that Project SAFE HAVEN “transforms the way we identify, locate, and map illegal migrants.”" https://jacobin.com/2026/04/ice-contract-ai-surveillance-immigrants/ #USA #Trump #Authoritarianism #ICE #AI #Surveillance #Privacy

"Personalist regimes always suffer from this, but then on top of that we have a personalist regime built on a man who is not just ignorant and malign, he is properly non compos mentis. Pretending he's capable of holding public office and giving orders at all is a kind of mass delusion." ~ Andy Craig #Trump #Iran #war #madness #dementia #insanity #authoritarianism #strongman /1 https://bsky.app/profile/andycraig.bsky.social/post/3mgwt7hgxnk25

"Donald Trump is lost in his fog of war. ... The belief that coherent sense can be made out of Trump’s shuffling words is a weakness of the rational mind that refuses to accept the impulses of the inveterate demagogue for what they are." ~ Sidney Blumenthal #Trump #Iran #war #madness #dementia #insanity #authoritarianism #strongman /2 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/mar/14/trump-iran-vietnam

"Searching for reason in the jungle of Trump’s tales may compel hopelessly sensible people to superimpose logic where there is none in order to satisfy the need for some semblance of soundness." #Trump #Iran #war #madness #dementia #insanity #authoritarianism #strongman /3

"'Mr President,' said a reporter. 'You’ve said the war is "very complete" but your defence secretary says, "This is just the beginning". So which is it?' Donald Trump’s eyes darted left and right then down. 'Well, I think you could say both,' he parried." ~ David Smith #Trump #Iran #war #madness #dementia #insanity #authoritarianism #strongman /4 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/14/trump-iran-war-chaos

"The confusing answer at a press conference in Doral, Florida this week did not befit a wartime leader armed with stirring rhetoric and a lucid plan. ... as the conflict with Iran enters its third week, impacting nearly every corner of the Middle East and causing economic tremors around the world, Trump has emerged as America’s commander-in-chaos." #Trump #Iran #war #madness #dementia #insanity #authoritarianism #strongman /5
