Just hours after Renee Good was shot, one member of Customs and Border Patrol’s elite tactical team on an adjacent street fired a less-lethal weapon five times in less than five minutes, with four shots aimed at the faces of protestors. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/01...

It's weird how people think nonviolent resistance was historically some ultimate move that worked immediately
Really? They seem overjoyed so far at the failed non-violence resistance to Trump so far (you can practically see ICE spring wood as they're jamming on being able to do whatever they want to people with no risk).

I guess the Selma to Montgomery march and the violent confrontation at the Edmund Pettis bridge signaled the failure of the civil rights movement and that’s why nobody talks about it today.
Really, because Minneapolis is a pretty blatant prelude to ICE "managjng" elections (even MSNow is talking sbout Trumps talks of not having elections so it isn't just me), and that prelude has been pretty successful (why they haven't backed off). Non-vi resistance only works when state sec backsdown

One of my other jobs was as a "handburner" (welding, cutting torch) at the Caterpillar Tractor Co. I moved up to a better, daytime job on the assembly line. I have on the black Rolling Stones T-shirt on in this group photo. Was a proud UAW member. @uaw.org

You can't "reform" ice because by hiding their identities they've made it impossible to root out bad apples. Realistically disbandment is the only reasonable option.

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it.
We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

The thing that people often forget is how the Nazis were exceptionally committed to drawing up lists, painstakingly categorizing individuals, and meticulously documenting their whereabouts (among other things). Bureaucracy and record keeping were instruments of power, crucial for their atrocities.

These people got their way. It has resulted in a devastating trade war, America on the verge of war with NATO over fucking Greenland, and rabid, roving packs of murderous slave-catchers on the streets of our cities
They should never be listened to, or permitted to exercise power, ever again

As usual, the story here isn't about "divides" or cosmopolitan elites looking down on rural populations. It is about radicalization. This woman wants violent vengeance for things that did not happen.

“Psychologically Western.” In the Gilded Age, America’s elite embraced the pseudoscience of eugenics to justify their own sense of superiority and provide backing for racist and anti-immigrant policies. Pretty rich for Musk and his internet-broken brain to be judging the psyches of others.

I feel like these two paragraphs reveal the fundamental defect in your argument - which is that you're meant to be refuting the premise of "if the exercise of western hegemony is equivalent to European colonialism, then so is the exercise of Chinese hegemony"

A border wall doesn't feed us, teach us, care for our sick, give us jobs, lower prices, or protect us.
It's a flex of white supremacism.

“American taxpayers will get zero return on their investment if DHS pursues this plan to build a $1.6 billion dollar border wall in one of the most rugged, remote stretches of the U.S.-Mexico border,” U.S. Rep. Gabe Vasquez (D-NM) said in a statement.
