John Prine That's How Every Empire Falls
YouTube video by 666Binky
www.youtube.com
Padlock the door and board the windows
Put the people in the street
"It's just my job, " he says "I'm sorry."
And draws a check, goes home to eat
But at night he tells his woman
"I know I hide behind the laws."
She says, "You're only taking orders."

*State terror has arrived for white America.

“It should no longer be possible to say that the Trump administration seeks merely to govern this nation. It seeks to reduce us all to a state of constant fear… That is our new national reality. State terror has arrived.”

Hundreds of people have marched to the South Portland ICE facility.
The protest was organized hours after a man was shot and killed by federal agents in Minnesota while observing and filming them.

I actually think abolishing ICE *is* worth shutting down the government over.
Grind all business to a halt in Congress. Nothing should get done so long as ICE is part of any funding bill.
THAT'S what you can do now, @democrats.org.

Remember these people were all picked because they’re TV personalities first. They read whatever the script is, not because they believe lot but because that’s the script they’re paid to read. Trump likes the way they look on camera saying what he and his junta declares is the truth.
Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

Remember why many Gwrmans looked the other way when the Nazi SS came and disappeared their neighbors? It was because the SS would beat, imprison, or kill dissenters just like ICE is doing to people who step in the way. It's a terror campaign.
AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

The Senate must reject the bill that funds ICE. Both chambers must take up impeachment, conviction and removal proceedings for POTUS and any other office engaged in the killing and oppression of our communities. Abolish ICE and prosecute from root to branch every last one of them.

ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.

Just a reminder that nobody should believe anything ICE or the DOJ says. They have lied and smeared again and again. Every statement they make should be treated as suspect at a minimum.
That is very dislocating for media, and for the general public.
