Colorado 🇺🇸: Several men were detained by ICE during “fake traffic stops” this week in Eagle County, ominous ace of spades cards were left behind in their empty vehicles.

The Ace of Spades card is a symbol used by white supremacist groups & also during the Vietnam War, called “death cards”

ICE is leaving Vietnam-style death cards in the wake of their kidnappings because they are the saddest, most embarrassing military wannabes to ever live

As Bill Foege (RIP) said:

RFK Jr “would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he’d kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. Why is…killing a single person..seen as murder but killing masses is excused if you are a politician?”

Direct accounts from Minneapolis @wired.com ❤️ Postal worker, teacher, protestor, etc. www.wired.com/story/how-ic...
The agents were kind of on their way back to their car, an agent grabbed pepper spray out of this car, came to us, and methodically sprayed the intake vent. The two SUVs pulled forward for another 30 seconds. They stopped again. “The car is in park. You can go forward,” my friend yelled. She told me later she was thinking about Renee Good, and didn't want there to be any doubt in their minds that the car could drive into them. We put our hands in the air. The agent replied, “Shut the fuck up.” An agent came to my side and said, "You are under arrest." I just held my hands in the air and I waited for instruction. I didn't know if he wanted me to come out of the car or stay in the car. At one point, one said to my friend: “You need to stop. You need to stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead.” Then he smashed the passenger window. Another agent smashed the driver window at the same time. The doors were unlocked, but he never attempted to open the doors. He just smashed the window. I was just thinking about Renee Good and what happened to her, and all I thought was I need to stay calm and make this agent feel safe. So I put my hands in the air and I slowed my breathing as much as I could, and it was very surreal and kind of out-of-body, but the smashing itself was loud and chaotic. (Later, when I was frisked in the detention facility, they found glass in my coat pocket.)
