Question: What's their alternative? From here it looks like it's a lot of dead bodies piled up in the streets.

Why is it always described as blue-vs-red? (I'm happy to help people that need it, even if we disagree on how)
That's a plutocrat-media construction to keep us distracted.
Remember the actual fight is everybody-vs-fascists.

DHS regularly asserts that assaults against agents have risen tenfold in the past year. Taking that claim at face value, Bier notes one implication: "The Biden administration policies were 90% better at protecting ICE officers than the Trump administration policies are." Maybe focus helped. /2, end

ISP *presence* is good, the problem is that they're facing the wrong way.
A change of their attitude would transform this whole thing into an advertisement for what makes Chicago worth having.

Apparently we get to find out if the courts have any power left at all.

My answer to your question, is your answer to "do you have a warrant signed by a judge."

Could we Pavlov him into being a positive force, like ignore him totally unless he does something good?

Honestly if I "hate America" I'd be cheering this shit on, not leaving my comfortable suburban neighborhood to go hold a sign by the side of the road.

Right-wingers literally straight-up admitting "it's harder to discredit the left because the left is almost always telling the truth"
Scott Jennings @Lum 21h um, yes, that's really a problem

The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality rightwing content.
That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well.
In essence people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly arent usually on our side.

Poll numbers cratered (further), so this became "an unfortunate misunderstanding".

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

For Keaton it's too young. For Trump it's plenty old.

They did say Chicago would be a training ground.
Apparently meant legal and media tactics as well.
Next target they may not make the same mistakes.
We need to learn and anticipate too.

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.
