union trash. he/they. shoot him again. his soul is still dancing. 50/50 chance I'm warning you about some argument you're having with a bot account

maybe I'm just old and cranky now but as soon as I realize I'm talking to a right winger I don't go "look at this cool bug I found" and I have firmly come to believe dunking on a right winger is Influencer behavior that usually comes with a flimsy ideological pretense but is really just aura farming

When outraged Germans protested over Aktion T4 in 1941, the Nazi government officially shut down the program. It continued unofficially until the fall of the Nazi government.

Don't take your eyes off of ICE if they back off their current tactics or fire more leaders in the face of mass protest.

bovino getting the door is good but these systems are bigger than one man and if we fail to keep pressure up now we'll simply end up with a more competent and effective gestapo that enjoys just as much funding as it does right now

mmhmm setting up to sacrifice noem and blaming her. i noted homan has been quiet
CNN calling Tom Homan "well respected" and "not as hardline as Bovino" is an interesting choice. The dude took a $50,000 bribe in a fucking Cava bag and says all the same fascist shit as Bovino and Noem.

the centrist democrat coalition does not want to abolish ICE or do anything about the fact that "policing" has become a backdoor for having a military that is garrisoned and occupying American soil because they are paid off. The LEO/consultant blob is their biggest sponsors now. That's it.

bill kristol with more clarity than the entire pundit class jfc
Homan to MN, Trump speaks with Walz, Leavitt marginally distances Trump from Noem—all show Trump’s feeling a little heat. But these gestures mean as much as Putin suggesting he’s changed and wants peace with Ukraine.

Don’t fall for it.

Insist: ICE and CBP off the streets of Minnesota.

while all this happens remember that ice agents at best finish their armed occupation of minnesota where they're feeling stressed and scared and suffering grueling hours and hated by everyone they see, they then go back to the station and miller screams at them for not hitting quotas

Minneapolis, MN -

Very developing situation here. FPS agents ran into the hotel. Tear gas deployed. Hotel patrons forced to put their hands up. One agent’s nose bloodied.

you think leftism is bad because you've been told your whole life to believe it by people who own factories and hate unions, by people who make money when your government spends money on the military and cops, by people who stand to make money as long as they can trick you into sabotaging yourself.

Never forget that the reason they are so convinced you’re all getting paid is that they are all getting paid.
The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.
James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

There you have it.

ICE has never been about immigration enforcement.

It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

It can be a hard pill to swallow but you have to accept that while you will prevail in this struggle, you may not be there to witness it.
Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.
Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win
