police = cowards, if they do not stop a crime from occurring simply because the assailants are federal immigration agents

Any Dem senator voting for this shit could get locked up too

You’re a total fucking ghoul. Get out of the Democratic Party and back to the dumpster where your parents should have left you.

DO SOMETHING NOW

Nobody gives a shit about anything you say, you’re useless and powerless

Instruct your officers to *arrest them*

why don’t you fucking try something even a little unorthodox, Walz? Instead of telling us you’re outraged on social media.
There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

I mean, what’s the point in even asserting he was “walking it back” when he made numerous other statements that he’s going forward and there’s “no going back”?

okay cool thanks, good to know you’re disturbed

He's pro-Israel, and has a history of attacking and systematically preventing anti-Israel boycotts, speech and movements.

He also misses quite a few House votes relative to other members, and wanted to collectively remove all Russian students from the U.S., so I think his judgement sucks at least.

@icegov.bsky.social
You’re all pussies

the problem is the Dems who do this shit are still going to be re-elected and most without primary challengers. look at Hakeem Jeffries’ approval rating in his own district.

Dem voters are ridiculously stupid. They’re just dwarfed by the Republican voters that are pretty much zombies.

The next Dem president (however we get one) should be handing out medals to those in Minnesota fighting a fascist occupying force.

no, I never said there should be zero attempts to change public opinion

I just think we need to be real here and understand there’s a fundamental problem amongst Democratic voters that “status quo” and “middle ground” is so toxically pervasive it’s being applied to a literal Gestapo

The latter is willful ignorance, not “learning.” They’ve had about a decade of Trump’s bastardization of ICE and Trump rhetoric to learn thus far.

What you suggested does nothing. Scaling back an agency infested with Trump goons still leaves Trump goons. Period. Stop thinking your prissy half measures do anything anymore.

see you could always go to my profile and see that I’m a Poli Sci PhD but that aside, the idea that you think “Abolish ICE” is going to “lose elections” when “ICE is allowed to murder with impunity” was apparently a winning message, is simply hilarious to me.

you don’t scale back an agency that has been pretty much bastardized to be a Gestapo. You replace it with something else that performs the function it should, while imprisoning the offenders from the previous.

“Defund the police” was a slogan referencing “the police” which is a fundamental institution/occupation.

ICE is an agency that has existed only since 2003, it’s not really the same.

It doesn’t make them a fascist, but it makes them so horrifically inept at responding to actual fascism that we should still admonish them for it. Why wouldn’t someone want to abolish an agency made in 2003 by Bush, that has been converted to Trump’s personal army?

You will find nothing that explicitly references that quote. The closest is a Spanish fascist General, during a radio broadcast, saying (rough translation):

“I will execute ten of yours for every one of ours,
even if I have to dig them out of their graves to execute them!”

Mainstream media silence on ICE raiding homes without warrants is evidence the execs should be arrested

Old bitch needs a bruise, more news at 11

Breitbart please, no need to say anymore I’m already sold

They’re still pretending he was “hit by the car” and not, like, brushed by it while he was on the side of the car drilling bullets into her skull.

They’re a dubious combination of evil, stupid, and weak. As someone who has been actually hit by a car, they’re pussies if they think this is the same.

pal, arguing via memes shows you’re out of your depth here. Dems trying to make deals with the “violate literally every deal we make” party is dumb and naive.

Huh? No, I’m not okay with that, I think the Dems shouldn’t be trying to bail Republicans out of their own problems when the appropriate strategy is to let them hang themselves.

an appropriations package at this point is performative given the admin doesn’t care about following the law or congressional decisions?

shutdowns hurt the admin. People blame them, and their approval decreases.

uh, they actively vote for republican measures

how’s that for a start?
