I have nightmares about ICE every night too. We're going to fight off the nightmares together
Put my nine year old son to bed tonight. We’ve tried to protect him but he knows what ICE is.
He had a nightmare last night that ICE was going to shoot him. As I put him to bed he told me he doesn’t want another nightmare but has also had panic attics thinking of his dark skinned friends. #Empathy

The idea that we're drawing our resolve from each other, that we are willing to put ourselves in harm's way to protect our neighbors, even ones we do not know, it's unthinkable to them.
They don't understand that real strength doesn't come from HURTING PEOPLE but from PROTECTING THEM.

Hurting people is easy. It's lazy. Anyone can do it with the right tools and the wrong morals.
Protecting people is hard. It takes restraint and courage and empathy. They will never have that. So they can never win, in the end. Minneapolis will win.

one of the things about the right after Trump is that it sincerely has radicalized itself against every virtue
I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage

Remember the Bundy insanity during the Obama years? Armed guys occupied a federal office and one of their buddies took position with a sniper rifle aimed at federal agents?
Exactly how many of those guys were shot and killed?

strange to me that a lot of people on this website simultaneously agree that the administration is run by incompetents who struggle to carry out their agenda without major political blowback AND that they’ll pull off a complex and sophisticated effort to rig elections and prevent defeat in November

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

We all just saw about six different angles of ICE murdering a guy who himself was filming them, but sure, you think body cameras will make all the difference.

Republicans have blocked every proposal to rein in ICE, but they're happy to let Democrats spend your tax money to equip ICE mercenaries with body cameras. Why? Because they know body cams won't restrain ICE any more than they do cops:

Don't try to reform ICE. Abolish them.

i will scrub floors for america if necessary
I will immediately resign from my corporate gig and take the attendant pay cut if a future D POTUS offers me a DOJ spot persecuting members of this Administration
Honestly a federal commission with prosecutorial authority paired with stripping immunity from ICE officers would be a huge wombo combo

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:
“ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.
This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

Our country was founded on independence — aspirational and clumsily attempted as it was — and has been sullied by this sort of servile, vapid Dick Wolfish law enforcement worship.
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

literally every single story on my insta feed is about ICE and Alex Pretti.
the fact that ICE isn’t backing down at all and conducting an investigation but is instead trying to smear a VA nurse as a “domestic terrorist” is fucking insane. it will backfire immensely

Even as the National Guard is deployed in a perimeter around half my neighborhood to try to prevent ICE’s campaign of violence from boiling over, ICE continues to send lurking cars of armed feds on patrol around the city and stage shows of force around the region. Insane. Unthinkable
