This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

But then I sigh, and, with a piece of scripture,
Tell them that God bids us do good for evil:
And thus I clothe my naked villainy
With odd old ends stol’n forth of holy writ,
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.

To everyone for the past 10 years who said “it isn’t really that bad” and “our institutions will protect us” and “our better natures will prevail”:
You were wrong then. You are wrong now. And here we are, perhaps past the point of no return for a long, long time.
Forgive me when I ignore you now
