If you think the US was in anyway "peaceful" prior to trump, it's likely because you were/are shielded by some level of privilege. For marginalized people at home and millions of people overseas, hatred and conflict are a defining characteristic of the USA.

The USA's trade embargo on Cuba which punishes any country that supplies Cuba will be repeated.

Just wait until it is Greenland, Canada, Mexico...

The other countries need to ignore it and all supply Cuba together.

Otherwise they will be next.

74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month.

Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:

End the roving patrols and racial profiling.

Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.

Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

BARI WEISS: I think it's so telling. Liberals only want to talk about the bad bunny. Whereas rational people like you and me, I think, people who can agree to disagree, we want to talk about the good bunny.

Looks like one of the CBP agents who murdered Alex Pretti was recruited under Obama, the other during Trump I. Violent abuses by the Border Patrol go back much farther than that. Now we're seeing the true cost of creating and expanding that monster.
The Guardian says Jonathan Ross has been an ICE agent for 10 years, so recruited late in Obama's second term. Which doesn't take any blame off those who have now completely unleashed ICE, but he's a product of ICE's longer term history: The monster created and expanded under both Bush II and Obama.

It’s frankly insulting that the worlds worst people weren’t meeting in a command center in a volcano wearing ceremonial robes but were all emailing on Hotmail accounts like “want 2 atrosity? With wemen?”

NOW: Thousands getting ready to march for Palestine 🇵🇸

Israel is still committing genocide and apartheid in Palestine and Britain continues to arm them. Join us to stand with the Palestinian people and demand our government end all complicity in Israel’s violence.

I don't have favorite politicians and this is why.

I’m staying off here today, but just to say:

a lot of people who are rightly calling out the bullshit of arresting people for protesting the ICE church…

could not COMPREHEND the idea of protesting a synagogue that hosted sales of stolen Palestinian land.

Setting 1000s of over-aggressive, over-armed, over-armored, secret police loose on our communities makes us less safe.

Makes us unable to live free.

They trample our constitutional rights with great vigor.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

The terror and violence that an imperial nation inflicts abroad will be inflicted on its own populate: for example, Jesse Walker, former member of a JSOC death squad has come home from his murder-tours and now doing violence at home.
Jesse Walker of San Diego, CA: DHS/CBP agent, a former Navy SEAL who travels with Greg Bovino as one of two personal bodyguards. Last seen in Minneapolis guarding a Target bathroom while his boss Bovino was pooping.

Patches include "GTAC", "SC2005", "CASC-2005". Tattoo on his left outer triceps.
