Needs to be a key Dem platform position. Anybody advocating for the destruction of ICE gets my support and campaign $$$.

Abolish ICE. Start over. Screen for fascists & sadists. No Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters, or J6ers.

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

This from an aggressive, to the point of combativeness, nonstop, compulsive liar.

To build the case for invoking the Insurrection Act.

Out there cosplaying fake toughness & glamorizing brutality.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

Dear people of the U.K. (ostensibly England and Wales)

Until you realise this country is fucked because of 14 years of terrible mismanagement in every way by the Tories….

You will end up with Reform U.K. Ltd (Tories on crack) running this country.

And you think it’s bad now?!

we got jumped last night (me and wife) by a group of lads calling us “lefties“ - it didn’t come to punches but got quite close - so I guess we are approaching the “having to fight on your way home from the pub” level of fascism

Remember, decent people like us were traumatized seeing infants and children in cages forced to appear in court alone while separated from their parents.

America voted for a second, more violent and inhumane term.

America voted for this.

Stop pretending ICE just happened out of thin air.
