They’ve been murdering and raping people in concentration camps for months. THIRTY TWO PEOPLE (that we know of) have been executed in those camps.
The complicity line was crossed and LONG time ago.

I’m completely fed up with elected Representatives saying shit like, “Republicans will tell you behind closed doors that they don’t agree with what ICE is doing”.
Playtime is over. Professional courtesy no longer exists.
Name them, record them, and make it public.

Stephen Miller was neither elected by the governed, nor was he confirmed by Congress, nor is he a civil servant, yet he seems to be the unitary executive.

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity.
They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

Solidarity, particularly across race and class, is Kryptonite for authoritarian regimes. They can only thrive when their us v. them framing is adopted by society at large, and they join as active or passive collaborators with the regime. So the only response they have is to raise the cost of unity
They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence.

I don’t think we should be using words like “innocent” or “US citizen” or “bystander” or things like that because — what if someone was an undocumented immigrant with a criminal record? Would they deserve this? No one deserves to be executed on the street in cold blood.

Both Philando Castile and Alex Pretti were licensed gun owners. What Second Amendment? At this point, the Bill of Rights only seems to apply to the authoritarians.

Reporters should be asking congressional Republicans what *other* kinds of Americans they think deserve to be executed in the street by the president's goon squad.
"So you support the murder of a mom and a VA nurse, but what about an Eagle Scout or a kindergarten teacher? How about a priest?"

Very interesting to me that Kristi Noem just said in her press conference that Alex Pretti was presumptively trying to kill federal agents because he was (legally) carrying a gun. Now apply that standard to every Republican voter legally carrying a gun in public.
