No wonder Ezra Klein was pro ICE in his “this is authoritarianism” op-ed
Text from Ezra Klein’s op ed which reads: “government has to serve the people and be accountable to the people. ICE can conduct legitimate deportations, but there can't be masked agents roaming the streets refusing to identify themselves or their authority. The Trump family cannot be hoovering in money and investments from the countries that depend on us and that fear our power and our sanctions. There have to be inspectors general and JAGs and career prosecutors watching to make sure the government is being run on behalf of the people rather than on behalf of the Trump family.”

Even when they’re dreaming up resistance to Trump the libs like Ezra Klein can’t even imagine a world without ICE
Text from a recent NYT Op-ed “like this: Trump won the election. He is the legitimate president. But the government has to serve the people and be accountable to the people. ICE can conduct legitimate deportations, but there can't be masked agents roaming the streets refusing to identify themselves or their authority. The Trump family cannot be hoovering in money and investments from the countries that depend on us and that fear our power and our sanctions. There have to be inspectors general and JAGs and career prosecutors watching to make sure the government is being run on behalf of the people rather than on behalf of the Trump family.”

It was never about self defense, it was always about israel maintaining military supremacy www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~fczagare/PS...
Israel's regional nuclear monopoly, which has proved remarkably durable for the past four decades, has long fueled instability in the Middle East. In no other region of the world does a lone, unchecked nuclear state exist. It is Israel's nuclear arsenal, not Iran's desire for one, that has contributed most to the current crisis. Power, after all, begs to be balanced. What is surprising about the Israeli case is that it has taken so long for a potential balancer to emerge. Of course, it is easy to understand why Israel wants to remain the sole nuclear power in the region and why it is willing to use force to secure that status. In 1981, Israel bombed Iraq to prevent a challenge to its nuclear monopoly. It did the same to Syria in 2007 and is now considering similar action against Iran. But the very acts that have allowed Israel to maintain its nuclear edge in the short term have prolonged an imbalance that is unsustainable in the long term. Israel's proven ability to strike potential nuclear rivals with impunity has inevitably made its enemies anxious to develop the means to prevent Israel from doing so again. In this way, the current tensions are best viewed not as the early stages of a relatively recent Iranian nuclear crisis but rather as the final stages of a decades-long Middle East nuclear crisis that will end only when a balance of military power is restored.

You can only send them via publisher or book retailer, you can’t send them directly yourself. Lots of jails and prisons will accept books directly from amazon just make sure it’s soft cover. Wish I did have a wishlist for him

I think you should genuinely read more about that movement and the fact that many in it, including MLK were armed for their self defense. Check out “This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed: How Guns Made the Civil Rights Movement Possible” by Charles E. Cobb www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/charl...
The book cover for “This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed: How Guns Made the Civil Rights Movement Possible” by Charles E. Cobb jr. Visiting Martin Luther King Jr. at the peak of the Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott, journalist William Worthy almost sat on a loaded pistol. "Just for self defense," King assured him. It was not the only weapon King kept for such a purpose; one of his advisors remembered the reverend's Montgomery, Alabama home as "an arsenal." Like King, many ostensibly "nonviolent" civil rights activists embraced their constitutional right to selfprotection - yet this crucial dimension of the Afro-American freedom struggle has been long ignored by history. In This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed, civil rights scholar Charles E. Cobb Jr. describes the vital role that armed self-defense played in the survival and liberation of black communities in America during the Southern Freedom Movement of the 1960s. In the Deep South, blacks often safeguarded themselves and their loved ones from white supremacist violence by bearing - and, when necessary, using - firearms. In much the same way, Cobb shows, nonviolent civil rights workers received critical support from black gun owners in the regions where they worked. Whether patrolling their neighborhoods, garrisoning their homes, or firing back at attackers, these courageous men and women and the weapons they carried were crucial to the movement's success. Giving voice to the World War I| veterans, rural activists, volunteer security guards, and self-defense groups who took up arms to defend their lives and liberties, This Nonviolent Stuff'|| Get You Killed lays bare the paradoxical relationship between the nonviolent civil rights struggle and the Second Amendment. Drawing on his firsthand experiences in the civil rights movement and interviews with fellow participants, Cobb provides a controversial examination of the crucial place of firearms in the fight for American freedom.

Yes and yes you should be able to although some jails can be weird and might send things back
• Prisoners may receive new soft cover books and periodicals directly from a publisher, book club, or book retailer (including internet retailers). • All incoming mail must be delivered by the the United States Postal Service. All other deliveries will be refused. (ie UPS, DHL, Fed Ex, Airborne, ect) • If money is in the form of cash, the cash will be credited to the prisoner's account and a receipt issued. Money orders, cashier checks or a certified bank check not made out to the prisoner, or lacking a return address of the sender, is contraband and will be placed in the prisoner's property. If the money is certified check or money order, the prisoner's commissary account will be credited and a receipt issued. • If money is received after a prisoner is released, checks and money orders will be mailed back to the sender. Cash will be added to the prisoner's account balance. • Always remember to write the prisoner's name and SO# on the envelopes and money orders. This expedites delivery of prisoner mail and allows for quicker deposits on the prisoner's account.

He didn’t do those things, it’s literally on video showing him walking calmly, gun pointed at the ground when the peace police asshole draws and opens fire on him causing him to run away

Arturo has apparently been doing community defense since at least 2021. The post millennial 🤮 was pretty quick to dig up his posts which seem to suggest he was an antifacist who was there to protect people thepostmillennial.com/salt-lake-ci...
Facebook post which reads: Mercedes McKinley • •• Nov 28, 2021 • © And if you're unsure of what that looks like ask my man Arturo Gamboa Kid has his rifle on or near him almost every protests last summer and didn't shoot not one person...but I bet he detered alot of Rittenhouses 2 likes 5 comments

Some people are confused what peace police are so here’s a helpful zine

The cover of the zine. Has an image of a vest which reads peace police. The text reads “Peace Police are Police: How protest marshals sabotage liberation and protect the state” Dated December 2023

This account is directly contradicted by video of the incident which shows Arturo Gamboa walking with his gun pointed at the ground when armed peace police drew and fired on him. Gamboa was there for community defense and some idiot panicked and killed someone x.com/witchytwitch...
Arturo Gamboa walking calmly with his gun pointed at the ground while the volunteer can be seen pointing his gun at him. A facebook screenshot from 11/28/2021 which reads “And if you're unsure of what that looks like ask my man Arturo Gamboa Kid has his rifle on or near him almost every protests last summer and didn't shoot not one person...but I bet he detered alot of Rittenhouses”

Tweets from the president of china which read: “If the US government didn't spend trillions of dollars subsidizing big pharma, defense contractors, energy corps and financial institutions, the American people would have cities like this all over the country.” & “The American people too need a revolution”
