“Get a grip,” McLaughlin said.
This was also done in apartheid South Africa. The autopsy of Dr Neil Aggett, who was tortured to death before police lied he had committed suicide, showed the exact same wounds to his private parts. So that's where we are at.
They are grabbing and bursting testicles.
That’s sexual assault.
We already know women detainees have been raped, assaulted and in some cases sterilized.
This is sick stuff. They want to inflict maximum pain.
They’re abusers drunk on power.

ICE was also in Silver Spring on Friday, hanging around Blair H.S. Heavy immigrant population in MoCo, but a good Gov., and a good County Exec.
Ice is ramping up in Phoenix right now.

Three+ years ago I already said that MAGA was drifting away from fascism — drifting hard rightward.
So *none* of this is surprising.
And yet still…, it’s a gut punch to actually live it.

Meaningless. The crime scene has already been completely contaminated

Clearly, this is the event that will now liberate them, at least, in the ICE funding debate.
That Alex had to pay for this with his life is tragic, but it is also a commentary on our times.
Progress will now be measured in blood.

Peple need to understand the kabuki dance politicians have to perform. The GOP has passed into a post-politics phase (anti-politics), but the Dems have not. That is not primarily *their* fault, but due to the demands of those who might vote for them.

It has emerged quite recently as an anti-ICE self-defense movement, though there appears to be a lot of contestation going on here.
It is the first open, organized, far left-wing revolutionary self-defense org. that I’ve seen come into the space.
That they are not NBPP is a *very* good thing.
