I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Protests and demonstrations are not a new phenomenon and were a common part of Victorian and earlier life. Bonfire night, because of its origins was often a focal point for protest with Guy Fawkes seen as a rebel with right on his side. Such was the case in Wakefield 1/2

Don't worry guys, I have a genius plan to stop political violence.
Step 1: Make elite consensus be that the mild peaceful disapproval be treated as equivalent to violence.
Step 2: Have the government openly violate the law in a manner which proves it nonbinding.
Step 3: Crash the economy.

...because they said they were acting like Nazis.

It committed genocide against the Jewish people - far from its only genocide.
It forced Palestinians to pay the price, viciously silencing anyone who objects
