"I was just following orders"
Really warms my heart to see comic book artists (my actual heroes in most cases) putting pen to paper to illustrate just how much they are disgusted by, and detest ICE.
When you grow up reading and drawing comics, good vs. bad isn't hard to understand. The good guys don't murder and kidnap people.

Things I've learned from my reddit post:

1. Antifascists IS the fascists!
2. WV has ALWAYS been a red state.
3. Right wing leaning people have just recently learned what "larping" is, but aren't quite sure how it works.
4. 3 week old accounts hate this.

🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇
There you have it.
ICE has never been about immigration enforcement.
It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and Minneapolis resident, was murdered by ICE today. He was a lawful gun owner. Our government saw his Second Amendment right as a threat and executed him in the streets.

I'm trying to get as many eyes on this as possible, because I feel like there's a lot of under-represented people it would resonate with, and... Facebook just denied an ad for this shirt design. I wonder why? Facebootlickers.

You cannot overstate how startling it is to see a politician just say the thing with clarity and poise. No fearful hemming. No overwrought qualifying down til it’s meaningless. No lingering sense that there is a loyalty to a donor class or an ideology of stasis that they’d never admit to.
Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

The state’s medical marijuana program was supposed to fund research into cannabis, substance abuse treatment and law enforcement training. So far, not a dime has been spent.

Months after initial report, West Virginia still has not released $34 million in medical cannabis revenue
Marijuana money stash, supposed to be used for research, law enforcement and substance treatment, is still untapped at the state treasurer’s office.
