Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

I think the press is not talking enough about how the real reason Alamo implemented the new phone ordering system is so they can lay off more workers. Like, yeah it's antithetical to the Drafthouse vibe but I don't think that's the biggest issue here.

ICE is a state funded terrorist organization and they are killing American citizens. There’s no other way to slice it. If you support this administration and these fuckin chuds you’re a fascist loser.

A Democratic Party that reflected the values of its base would put this into its national platform: "Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans."
Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

Here's something to think about re: how ICE/CPB/etc. is operating.
It's the same as they have for years now. People have been loudly opposing their operations this whole time. Only now it's concentrated, and very blatantly in the open, and white people have died. That's the only difference.

ICE is government sanctioned and led terror. They are not here to do good, they are incapable of it.
Do not be misled, do not be silent, do not let the bastards get away with this.

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power
To quote one source:
“They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement. They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”

I still can't get over how they hired a team of linguists to invent a fictional language meant to sound like a progenitor to proto-indo-european and then split it into two dialects. Absolutely unhinged level of effort for a caveman fps and I respect the hell out of it.

This is, in my opinion, not only the correct moral/ethical/legal position but also the correct political framing. Everyone can see the agency is out of control; everyone can see that it is constantly violating human rights. "Scrap it and start over" is the moderate position.
Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."
