If you’re not from Idaho or the West, do yourself a favor and forego reading the Atlantic’s puff piece on Ammon Bundy. There’s nothing to be learned (not surprised he doesn’t like ICE), but it does show the MSM’s continuing failure to understand and take seriously extremist movements in these parts

"The crowds want ICE abolished, want the Gestapo agents prosecuted, want DHS torn down — the masses want a bold, decisive fight against fascism, not symbolic, milquetoast “resistance” that talks a big game but fails to meet this moment with necessary action."
YES.
YES.
There’s a temptation to settle for less than abolishing ICE. The establishment certainly wants to stop at far less than abolishing ICE. But our future depends on its abolition. In Congress and in the streets we need to push harder than ever, not accept appeasement.

Reject appeasement. Reject counter-insurgency.
We can stop at nothing less that the total dissolution of ICE

Interesting that Clarence Thomas is so focused of eliminating gay marriage, saying it is to protect children, when according to the Epstein files he r*ped a four year old. Child r*pe? No problem; Loving marriage between people of the same sex? Nope. Gonna hurt kids. 🙄
