I will vote for whichever party promises to treat ICE agents the way partisans treated Mussolini and anything less is worthy of a heart “get fucked lmao” in response
Hakeem Jeffries: "Body cameras should be mandatory. Masks should come off. Judicial warrants should absolutely be required consistent with the Constitution in our view before DHS agents or ICE agents are breaking into the homes of the American people or ripping people out of their cars"

White liberals and progressives are going to need to hold two truths simultaneously, and better than they did in 2020; you can be marginalized and genuinely experience the boot of white supremacy or capitalism on your neck and still be a participant in being the boot on others’ necks.

The head of Palantir’s AI efforts lives in Seattle.
ICE is already turning its surveillance state on U.S. citizens.

Are any of the “free speech absolutists” going to defend the 1st Amendment? Hello?

Real ones remember when Will Stancil was assuring everyone who would listen that those evil leftists were just as bad as the fascists - that they were stupid kids for resisting.

Maybe the changes are sincere. But I wouldn’t risk being in a chat with the man given the background.
that is absolutely true. I know many people far to the left of me who are fearless beyond measure. I see them every single day here
I think it’s important to not paint the entire left with the behavior of a few dipshits. A lot on the left have you props for your efforts and are also putting their safety on the line. Don’t fall to the temptation of division. Some of this online crap is an attempt to foment it.

ICE cannot be reformed.

Trump empowered ICE for the express purpose of creating shock troops to impose autocracy.

Today, ICE is comprised of the most sadistic and evil people in our entire society.

ICE agents joined up in order to kidnap and murder people, as they were promised.

Abolish ICE.

Liberals are falling over themselves trying to remind us that they’re fine with protestors getting mowed down - we should REALLY be outraged that the NORMAL people are being hurt!
ICE isn't killing 'protesters', they're killing innocent bystanders.

There are Palantir employees living here in Seattle. They know full well what they’re doing.
Palantir employees are pressing company leadership over its work for ICE in internal company Slacks obtained by @wired.com

"In my opinion ICE are the bad guys. I am not proud that the company I enjoy so much working for is part of this."

It is funny when ICE agents turn their service pieces on themselves.

Expect an uptick in coming months, and in the coming years, weepy memoirs from people jumping ship to save their own soul.

It will be too late. Their funerals are now cause to raise a glass, same as every dead WWII war criminal
weird enforcment going on with this "violation." i didn't write the post. I reposted it from someone else's account. it doesn't actually violate any specific rules. bigots on this site say way worse shit about marginalized groups and it's not considered a problem. Blusky mods are fuckin evil, man.

things to ponder about seattle, geography, and protests:

there are few federal properties in Seattle; the Jackson bldg is downtown, with ICE facilities in Tukwila and a concentration camp in Tacoma. Downtown is not the ideal place for actions, but it does allow for making LEOs play endurance.

expect more anti-ebike shit to pop up all over the country; it's an area where conservatives (who want to hinder pedestrian/bike/public transit) can find alignment with wealthy urban liberals who view ebikes as a 'menace' but mostly just view the idea of accessible biking < 'real,' unassisted bike
That NJ anti-eBike bill is bad. I hope it doesn't see copycats in other states, especially other blue ones.

"We believe science is real" ... which is why we are pushing more people to use expensive, polluting cars that are one of the largest killers of children in the US, rather than ride bikes

less "hillary/kamala warned us about all of this!!" more "every single 'lunatic leftie protestor' for the past three decades warned us about all of this in unsettlingly clear-eyed fashion and were derided for it"

Liberals fundamentally do not understand how fascism works or how we got here; as a result, they can only offer failed solutions that have already been attempted.

There is no such thing as reforming the Gestapo. The cruelty is the point. Abolish ICE, and may their agents swing from light poles.
A vote to increase ICE funds is a vote to increase ICE violence.

If the DHS wanted fully vetted, fully trained ICE, they would have done that already. It wants chaos in the streets to provoke martial law.

AS a CA voter, I shout HELL NO!

“don’t give them an excuse, they’re waiting for a reason to invoke martial law” too often sounds like “dont make too much trouble or they’ll do to the rest of us what they’re currently doing to brown folks”

All you need to know about the Democratic party:

Neither Obama, Harris, nor Biden made public comment on Renee Good's murder.

All three quickly offered thoughts and prayers on Charlie Kirk's murder.

None of the Americans who say this give two flying fucks about Palestine or the Palestinian diaspora
I feel for the people of Palestine who have been even more harmed because of the last election and I feel for us because most are not taking it seriously enough how deviant this President and his supporters are.

Donate to DivestSPD to help defund your local fascist cartel
So...SPOG argued that it's spending so much "hard-earned dues" money on public records lawsuits that it can't afford to lobby.

We're effectively draining the police guild's ability to enact public policy at the state level. How bout that?

The reason so many white liberals don’t want to accept the reality that force against fascism is inevitable is because they don’t want to get their hands dirty.
