After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

And one more thing. Anyone who publicly begs for, and publicly demands, the Nobel Peace Prize should never be given the Nobel Peace Prize.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

CNN searched for ANTIFA in Portland, here's what they found: Bananas, Frogs, a Unicorn, dance parties, and a guy who doesn't know what any of this is and just wants ICE to leave. (Also look how they treated reporter Shimon Prokupecz.)

Making people afraid to be affiliated with antifascism—making people afraid to be associated with groups and people that actively oppose fascism—is some bleak shit.

One great aspect of iconic inflatable costumes (aside from how they instantly undermine propaganda about war zones) is that it's useless to arrest the person wearing one. Cuffing a frog would make law enforcement look pathetic. And carting one off just guarantees that more will show up the next day.

How long will it be before we learn that ICE is murdering some of these people the minute they’re off camera? When we learn the kidnapping squads are death squads, will that be enough to grind everything to a halt? To stop showing up to work normally, to stop throwing parties, until this ends?
