This is extra funny to me because they keep envisioning some network of high level well trained antifa operatives being behind all this instead of what’s really going on: everyone fucking hates them.
Again: sounds like some little MAGA turd convinced some people in Minneapolis to add him to a few gigantic and minimally vetted Signal group chats. Zero fancy technology is required to do this.
Do not flatter the Trump admin by assuming they’re better at this than they actually appear to be.

I agree that it’s high fucking time that we stopped acting like we need to grovel and constantly justify the existence of some of our most incredibly elemental and ancient human pursuits.
Are the humanities the only disciplines whose classes begin with modules speaking to the importance of studying the humanities? "Why study the humanities?" and "Why the humanities are important" must be cliches.

7 House Democrats voted to give ICE more funding:
Cuellar

Let's be real: they are not pro-"law enforcement." ICE is not enforcing laws.
They are pro-terrorism, pro-violence, and pro-corruption.

I just voted HELL NO to giving ICE a single penny.
Congress should not be funding an agency that has terrorized our communities, kidnapped our neighbors, and killed people on the street with impunity.
We must abolish ICE and end qualified immunity for ICE agents NOW.

Something that should be motivating squeamish congressional Democrats is that if people don't see help coming, this kind of resistance is going to escalate pretty drastically
Border Patrol agents are very sad that everyone in Minnesota hates them.
“At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving…”

The budget deal in Congress will give ICE another $10 BILLION.
Absolutely not.
ICE is out of control. We must stop this rogue agency’s dangerous abuses of power, not bankroll it.

If Democrats aren’t whipping votes against ICE funding, and letting conservative members vote to pass it, it means the Democratic Party supports ICE funding.

Respectfully, look at this fucking bullshit that we’re dealing with, not a single person here has “taken the bait.” We have born witness as little kids are used as bait and neighbors are kidnapped on our streets. A mad dipshit is going to invoke the Insurrection Act regardless and you are blaming us
Violence only helps Trump & may provide him an excuse to further trample our rights by invoking the Insurrection Act.
