ICE, Trump, detention camps, insurrections, the confederacy is all a symptom of white supremacy. And without that specific call out you only ever treat the symptom.

I cannot stress to you enough, that if you *truly* wish to live in a just world, it would also mean prosecuting feckless, collaborating pieces of shit like this too.

Walz is capitulating to fascists and encouraging night raids. Genuinely disgusting. Why would anyone settle for this?

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

Liberals acknowledge some problems with our system, but their refusal to entertain the idea that the system is beyond repair constantly forces them into ludicrous positions like this. They’ll only ever back superficial reforms because ultimately they don’t want things to change.

Democrats sending fundraising e-mails, leveraging anger from the terroristic events carried by ICE but refusing to do anything of substance in response to said terroristic events.
When the dust settles, they’re going to need prosecuting too.

I want these fuckers prosecuted. I will not vote for a candidate who shies away from this.
A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.
He was bundled into the van & taken away.
Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”
I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

the top democrats aren't refusing to take a strong stance against ICE out of cowardice; they like ICE and the things it does and they want it to be there when they win the next election so they can use it. if they ever budge on this it will be because they were forced

Utterly worthless individual…
State and local law enforcement know the communities they serve. They’ve built the trust and know how to keep us safe.
As Minnesotans express their first amendment rights, I encourage you to remain peaceful and know that local law enforcement has one goal in mind: your safety.

Nobody is saying, care about Palestine instead of care about how we live here. Caring about Palestine is actually deeply connected to caring about how we live here. And even if it weren't why should we be ok with being bound up in harming people there?
