ABE LINCOLN & KARL MARX CORRESPONDED
Which one is Mr House and which one is Modus
Tech oligarchs are proving to be a dangerous kind of cowards.

They have no ideology beyond the balance sheet.

For the promise of deregulation and a lower tax bracket, they are perfectly willing to fund and install a fascist reality in the US.

!! Seriously
Trump incited an insurrection.
Now he’s ordered a POGROM.
That’s what this is.
ICE are the Russian Cossacks.
ICE are Bull Connor’s deputies.
ICE are the Brown Shirts on Kristalnacht.
This is Trump’s POGROM.

That's not in the least bit absurd. Or dangerous.

Yup. It's like harping on the Epstein Files. Performative bullshit
What's cool about seeing people argue with each other about the best way to punish ICE agents for their crimes, do this versus that, is that the conversation is now one taking for granted that they will be held accountable and brutally punished. Not *whether* they will be held accountable.

They wheeled this Nazi asshole into court in a wheelchair and he was still trying to hide his face in shame 76 years after World War II ended. That's the kind of commitment I'm looking for.

Oh was this sort of thing not covered in the initial training
In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.
Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization
It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

I'm very thankful that Rutgers-Newark named the student center after Paul Robeson so we knew who he was.
Paul Robeson died 50 years ago today.

Can you imagine being the most famous Black person in the world at one point, only to die in near obscurity?

The American government made sure no one would remember one of the greatest Americans to ever live.

He was 77

Dozens of protesters are in the street outside of the Target Center (the anti-ICE event inside recently ended). Smashing blocks of ICE, chanting “fuck Donald Trump.”

THEY WILL NOT BREAK US

THEY CAN NOT BREAK US

THEY DIDN'T BRING ENOUGH GUYS

FOR EVERY ONE OF US THEY TAKE, ONE HUNDRED MORE TAKE TO THE STREETS

THERE WILL FOREVER BE MORE OF US THAN OF THEM

THEY STAND FOR NOTHING, WE STAND FOR EACH OTHER

THEY WILL REGRET COMING HERE

MINNEAPOLIS WILL WIN
fear.

they need to demonstrate that resistance is worse than useless, that it will be broken, and that their agents have impunity regardless of their actions.
So… what’s the strategic goal for the administration in Minnesota, exactly?

I’m not being cute, I don’t understand the theory of victory here and want someone to explain it to me.

This bill wouldn’t have passed without support from Democratic politicians. The 7 who voted in favor are listed below in a reply.
A small band of moderate House Democrats teamed with Republicans to pass a bill to fund DHS, overcoming a revolt by most Democrats furious about ICE’s operations in Minneapolis and other U.S. cities.
House passes sprawling spending package as Democrats split over ICE funding
The House voted separately on DHS funding and another package of bills to avoid a partial shutdown and repeal a law that allows certain GOP senators to sue DOJ for $500,000.
