It does not matter if you take the child you use as bait and then kidnap to McDonald’s!!!!!
Lyons says ICE agents actually "took care" of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos when they detained him, before shipping him off to a horrific Texas ICE facility.
He says ICE officers "comforted him" as they chased his dad, put him in their car to play "his favorite music, then took him to McDonalds."

i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Donald Trump has turned America into a violent fascist kleptocracy. But the NFL just forced some culturally unfamiliar music upon me. I have never felt more politically homeless.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I mean, they are correct in that the graphic does not glorify or valorize any specific incident. It glorifies all of them. Any of them. However you do it, it glorifies them. It's a general glorification of shooting people in the head without due process of law simply because you don't like them.

As I recently hollered to my beloved Liberal Boomers, hardly anyone was obsessed with trans people 10 years ago. The panic was manufactured whole cloth to create a hateable enemy. If we stop feeding it, in 10 more years, it will be a cruel blip.
it’s weird but finding out that the modern trans panic was fabricated by the machinations of a pedophile cabal has actually improved my mental health substantially. if I keep sitting around being depressed all day I’m letting Jeffrey Epstein win, and I will die before I do that

I say this as someone who grew up in the south and with through a major defense of the Confederacy phase in adolescence. I will always be grateful to the friends who knocked sense into me (in so many ways) in my 20s
I would argue the insurrection never stopped after the Civil War. We didn’t properly reckon with the Confederacy in Reconstruction and so it just went dormant but has always been there.
If only the Insurrectionists (including Trump) had been held accountable right after January 6th.
The insurrection is ongoing because it was never stopped.
