Democrats aren’t on our side. They’re Israel first. Nothing is going to improve until we take our government back. They literally have IDF agents working for ICE they’ve just imported their genocide here https://www.newsweek.com/75-democrats-house-antisemitism-resolution-ice-gratitude-2083177
If shit gets real then half the the Democrats will denounce us as terrorists while the other half will trip over themselves to join Trump's reprisal firing squads.

It's the Imperial Boomerang coming back around
Holy shit, what an amazing article. Part political history part philosophy. Chef's kiss. 👨🍳 😘
Well, that certainly explains Schumer and Jeffries.
These monsters must pay. I have faith that we will come out the other side of this somehow. And there will be HELL to pay. The GOP fascists who applauded their cult leader's promises of "retribution" have yet to learn the meaning of that word. And they will be educated in spectacular fashion.
Sadly history shows that no matter the evil, the average footsoldier does not get what's coming for them.
Look at what happened to the SS agenta. Hell just look at the Nuremberg trials. We've had the chance to eradicate fascism and went easy on them, putting bullshit "international relations" above making sure the scum of humanity with the worst of ideologies is truly gone.
Like, imagine having a beautiful garden. You look away for a moment and bam, it's full of weeds, weeds trying to kill off all the flowers and produce. Do you just pull a few weeds, trim the rest back, and call it a day?
No, you take care of ALL the weeds, and take steps to ensure they don't come back.

Who is going to make them pay? Only like 50 democrats even bothered to want to investigate ICE.
What will happen is the same old, now isn’t the time for vengeance but healing and moving forward crap.
I feel that the only way to proceed in this world is with the faith that it will be made right. Otherwise what is the point in trying? We should all lay down and give up?

So when are americans using this amendment they sacrificed all these children for?
They actually sacrificed the children to maintain capitalism. Guns were always an excuse.

How many americans need to be killed or wounded before congress shuts down this terror organization?
Its absolutely insane that the US president is more compassionate toward iranian protestors than US ones. But I guess the US oil is already secured by US oil companies so who cares about americans when only corporations are people?
They’ll do as Israel commands because they are all owned by Israel and the Zionist oligarchs. Democrats and republicans are pro genocide and now it’s our turn. https://www.trackaipac.com/
If Trump goes full blown dictator, never.
If he dies and a regular election takes place, I guess the end of his term.
But truly, I see the US as sitting on the brink of a rerun of the American Civil war. Instead of England, it's your own people. Rise up or be crushed.
Do you see the US Democrats do something as bold as end DHS?
Also, if Trump dies, Vance takes control, which to some degree means Thiel takes control (hello Palantir!) which is arguably a lot worse.

this terror organization?
I don't think the police will disappear anytime soon from any police state.
Its absolutely insane that the US president is more compassionate toward iranian protestors than US ones.
It's a leverage they are using to attack iran, they don't give a shit about people.

I can't see the video because I don't have an x account anymore and it's been marked as sensitive. Is there a mirror? I can't find it on her BlueSky account.

Not quite what you were asking for, but it's the video without giving that nazi site traffic.

Is this the same person that when shot BT the ice Gestapo said you're gonna be blind because he knew and did it on purpose..
Yes.
This is what resistance looks like, unfortunately.
Lack of resistance looks much worse, it just takes a little longer.
In an email response to The Times, Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary with the Department of Homeland Security, said . . . “This was a highly coordinated campaign of violence where rioters wielded shields.”
Oh the fucking horror. How very dare those protesters cover their bodies against ICE violence.
The kid who got blinded was running to help someone else. Funny how words and acts of humanity and kindness seem to piss them off more than anything else. But that's now a "riot" and that protester is now a "rioter."
This newspeak is right up there with the couchfucker claiming Renee Good belonged to a "broad left-wing network" without so much as a clue of the word rest of us use to describe the same group: a neighborhood. Renee Good belonged to a neighborhood.
Oh the fucking humanity.
It's a classic cop tactic: raise the level of violence, then use the inevitable and justified matching rise in violence and defensive behaviour from protesters to justify more police violence.
French newspaper le Monde Diplomatique had an article some years back about this with a smoking gun type quote, from an unnamed former high ranking French police officer, along the lines of "it is us, the police institutions, that set the level of violence, and we perfectly know it" (the conclusion from this officer was that therefore police should refrain from any unnecessary violence and only use absolutely necessary violence).
Truth. Say it as often as you can, because there are people commenting here constantly urging others to protest violently. It's the worst thing we could do.
It's the same here in the US, and this is why the regime has picked Minneapolis and Portland, Oregon to begin with: because those two cities had the most violence in 2020-2023 following the killing of George Floyd. But Portland has learned, and kept their protests non-violent, which is what the judge cited as her reason for declaring the presence of the National Guard there illegal in November. It's the very first paragraph, and thereafter she calls the order illegal:

Shields are a WMD. I heard Saddam had a shield.
Department of Homeland Terrorism
Someone doxx the agent please, asking for a friend.
At what point do they get sued for attempted murder? Considering how those "less lethal" rounds are designed to be fired at the ground to indirectly bounce at a person, and even then, only at long distances.
In close quarters they are entirely lethal.
Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin described the scene as “a highly coordinated campaign of violence where rioters wielded shields,” but had no comment on the use of excessive force from her agents. A spokesperson from the Santa Ana Police Department said the only coordinated violence they saw were demonstrators throwing orange cones.
I’m sure his family will be bankrupted and left homeless from these medical bills
Then we have losers like Walz begging for people to stay non-violent while he grovels to Trump. Motherfucker the violence has already begun and it wasn't the protestors who started it.
"One of ours, all of yours" ought to work both ways.
It should not work either way.
It has to, when it comes to fascists. Otherwise if you give them an inch, they'll shoot you three times point blank in the face.
