Everyone knows if the victim belonged to the wrong Facebook group, then the armed goons of the government have every right to execute them in the street.

“Which is why we are posthumously indicting Paul Revere.”
Rep. Pete Sessions: "This protesting that goes on -- honking of horns, obstructing federal law enforcement -- should not be tolerated ... I stand completely with the administration on this effort."

.@PabloReports: Would you vote for any funding increases for ICE?
Warren: Not without more restrictions. This is an agency that is out of control. If we don’t get some restrictions in place, they’re going to put more American citizens at risk.

ICE Trump regime agents kidnapped a 17 year old boy working at Target, the regime thugs beat and tortured him then dropped him off 9 minutes away from his job site when they realized he was a US citizen, he was bloodied and bruised when witnesses helped him.

ICE rammed into a car at 34th and Park And then began to question the immigration status of U.S. Citizen Latino’s they crashed into.
They also deployed chemical irritants into the eyes of the press. Abolish ICE now.

Looking at Minneapolis I am telling you that the argument Paine made in Common Sense 250 yrs ago this week was all about Boston being terrorized murdered and occupied by the British, and that everyone needed to put themselves in Boston’s place and decide they wouldn’t stand for it any longer.
Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

You cannot opsec yourself out of Gestapo thugs going door to door, harassing anyone they see. You can only show up and say "fuck you, we outnumber you no matter where you go, and we are going to win"

There's extreme paranoia about ICE tracking people using videos or whatever. People think anonymity is what keeps them safe, when in reality it's numbers.
Why are people reluctant to share them, especially since they can easily share them anonymously?

America is now at the heavily armed secret police doing warrantless door-to-door house raids in search of undesirable ethnicities and/or political dissenters stage. The difference from well known historical cases is down to scale.

When I was 16, a deputy told my friend and me that he was going to have us raped in jail for the crime of sitting in a park after sundown. The desk sergeant refused to even take a complaint the next day. Don't tell me cops being unaccountable sadists is an invention of the Trump administration.

A Yale graduate and abolitionist, Torrey went to Baltimore to help enslaved people escape. He was stalked by the police, captured, convicted, and died in prison in 1846.
