Right like what if he just surrounds the capital building with feds and won't let them in? Does anyone think dems will be ready to respond as necessary??

A peaceful anti-ICE march turned ugly when the Tennessee Highway Patrol drove into the crowd, hitting at least three people
Patrollers also arrested a woman who appeared to be trying to prevent them from driving further into the gathered pedestrians.

Yesterday, these incompetent fucks were just going door-to-door in a neighborhood near my house at 8:30 in the morning. School buses were driving through trying to pick up kids, people were out walking their dogs, and people were taking out their trash cans.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

elected democrats who want their constituents to remain non-violent in their protests of these abuses must actually offer a path for ending the abuses non-violently. they currently are not as a party and it’s a major problem.
🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.

He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

They have fucking assault rifles and we have whistles and they’re scared shitless, because they know we’d rather be righteous and dead than ever be them.

The fundamental thread linking all of this godawful stuff, I’m convinced, is that these chuds all over America - in golf clubhouses, DHS facilities, and at kids’ soccer games - have convinced themselves that they never have to hear the word no, and if they do, they’re allowed to respond violently.

Mike Johnson compellingly making the case for abolishing ICE ...
Mike Johnson: "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do"
Mike Johnson comes out against additional guardrails on ICE as Democrats call for it.

“I think there's a lot of Democrats playing games right now with national security and with law enforcement. And I think it's dangerous. Ice is doing what ice is designed to do by its very name.”

Yeah it's called being an American, bitch. Smugness towards authority is our founding trait.

this is both funny and an extremely harrowing illustration of the lie of fascism and its consequences. they tell you that they can save you and free you, but then you die anyway and everyone's happy you're gone.

I dunno man, my local DSA chapter meetings offer free childcare, which you have to admit is at least marginally better than the right's vision of legal rape and forced birth

Molalla River School Board Vice Chair Linda Eskridge loves ICE and hopes they stick around and arrest every undocumented immigrant (she said "illegal alien"). Linda is calling for OR Senator Kayse Jama to be deported, calls him a POS and claims he was fraudulently elected. #Molalla
