Many scholars of authoritarianism saw ICE & CBP as a likely source of secret police if Trump returned to power.
Biden responded by increasing their funding and ranks.

What's being "protected" is not "free speech" but rather the RIGHT for white men to be white supremacists in public without any criticism or any consequences. I hope that's clear.

The right have launched an all-out attack on liberals and the left, in the wake of the Kirk killing, pushing narratives about left-wing violence and the need to investigate liberal nonprofits and Schumer and Jeffries are totally AWOL. The Dems are leaderless.
Shocking.

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

I am a historian and the consensus as to the start date for Italian fascism is when Mussolini, accused of having his party disappear a leftist member of Parliament, made a speech daring anyone to do anything about it - no one did.
I'm not a historian but my analysis is it's "Not good" when a government constantly commits crimes and tells the legislature, courts, and general public "What are you gonna do about it"

It cannot be said enough that putting the onus on the actions of protesters, instead of those sent to harm them, and in a way that sets the righteous up to fail in the face of escalating violence against them, has to stop!

Western liberals LOVED Greta Thunberg when she was just a white teenage symbol of their shallow liberal climate activism. The moment she grew up and rightfully identified the owners of capital as the perpetrators of human catastrophe, she became the insufferable little bi*ch that must be bombed.
It's really interesting watching Greta Thunberg keep going Left, the more she and her climate activism understands the world. Greta started out with empty and shallow western liberal climate change activism, and western liberals, with their liberal identity reductionism and media, loved her for it.

When Obama and Biden won, Republicans said “fuck them, we’ll break them” and went on to rally their base. When Republicans win, Democrats blame their left and say “we’ll work with Republicans.” And it fucking sucks.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.
Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it.
Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.
