Remember that episode of Dragon Ball Z where they are getting ready to fight but instead of fighting they just sceam at each other and power up for an hour?

I really think the reason Trump kept Mein Kampf on his bookshelf might be because he believes he's the reincarnation of Hitler. The time between the death of Hitler and the birth of Trump is consistent with how long it takes to be reborn in various Indian traditions. (1/2)

One thing that perplexes me is the Andromeda Paradox. For 2 people on Earth, one stationary and the other in motion, the current moment—the "now" they are experiencing—would correspond to a different "now" in the Andromeda galaxy. (1/4)

All jails and prisons are death-making institutions! Our whole criminal system cages people and shrugs when they die! This is like everything the government does! And yes, abolish it all.
This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

ICE actions are not a radical break but an intensification and extension of bipartisan consensus on the need for punitive immigration policy. Since its post-9/11 creation, people have warned that the tools given to ICE would eventually be turned on citizens.

Eric Swalwell answering a question on how the next governor of California will protect Californians from ICE.

“They're going to lose their immunity. They're not going to be able to drive. I will take your driver's license. Good luck walking to work, assholes.”

Call me a radical progressive, but I believe the American people deserve Medicare for All, a Universal Basic Income, true living wages, quality housing, food security, clean air, and safe communities where they won’t get shot in the face by masked government agents.

ICE has no legitimate function. They are in Minneapolis based upon lies cooked up by a 23 year old YouTuber. They are acting like a cross between an occupying army and a death squad. City and state government have told them to leave. They are definitionally incompatible with democracy.
It goes without saying that in the US you’re not supposed to have a masked secret police that snatches people off the streets without knowing if they’ve committed a crime. That’s about as basic a requirement for a democracy as exists.
Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

We won't have accountable law enforcement until officers, not taxpayers, face financial penalties for recklessness.

Mandate liability insurance for all officers to pay victims.

Reckless acts raise premiums.
If it becomes unaffordable, they shouldn't be cops, ICE agents, etc.

Highly-Paid Political Pundits: "I think we should hear out their arguments"

The Left: "Abolish ICE"

I really don't think people who have not been around these situations have any understanding of much cops simply make shit up. They think "if the cop said they resisted, than they were resisting and escalating the situation".

Like when they charge people with assault on an officer because their blood spattered on the cop while the cop was beating them.

Businesses really need to put up "No ICE" signs and have ICE agents trespassed for entering their property. The last three things that I saw that went down were at a Speedway, a Walmart, and a Target. These businesses do not have to allow ICE on their property.

States really need to make it a felony with a mandatory minimum sentence of life in prison for ICE or any sort of law enforcement to attempt to keep people from recording them.

Liberal states have means to fight back. Fucking use them.
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand
