it’s difficult to overstate how much the next generation of Republicans is worse
we’re seeing a little of it bleed into the current admin with their social media interns but basically every young person actively engaged in Republican politics is a psychotic freak who should be exiled from society

University of Illinois college republicans advocate for executing protesters as “traitors” with art that takes a disturbing killing and makes it even more extreme.

i know there are a lot of ppl who view civic engagement (protest/calling your senator) as non-revolutionary and that's true. but they are very useful for making the status quo frustrated & miserable. protests can turn into resistance, calls can give feckless politicians cold feet. do these things.

They murder a man in cold blood and wait around to watch him die. There is no hell hot enough. Abolish DHS. Impeach, convict, remove. Trials as soon as possible.
UPDATE: @dropsitenews.com has obtained the very graphic video from the lady in the pink coat, which shows ICE executing yet another person in broad daylight:

fwiw this is the kind of stuff that is going to get us through, not playing rambo
Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.
This is so smart. I’m so impressed with all the different ways you’re helping your neighbors.

ICE agents in Minneapolis detained a female protester and while she was in custody, removed her bra and some of her clothes and cut off her wedding ring. Some of her clothes were not returned. This sounds like they were preparing to do something to her, and it wasn't reading her the Miranda warning.
“…ICE behavior described in the ruling sets a new level of misconduct.”

This is the thing about the "Don't give them the pretext to send in more feds" arguments. The administration is using its own murder of an unarmed civilian as the pretext to send in more agents. They do not need a pretext and will invent them if they want.

I mean, honestly, I'm surprised ICE didn't indiscriminately merc someone sooner. which, you know, isn't meant to be some glib little comment. it's going to get worse.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

every seat in a movie theater should have an "I have to pee" button and if enough people press it they should be able to pause the movie

This whole AI thing has been a stellar resource for categorizing people into who has a functional theory of mind and who doesn’t. Equating “painstakingly earning the trust of a different species” with “it always tells me I’m a nice special boy :)” is toddler shit, actually
