One of the things that the United States did in this century, which isn’t discussed enough, is that they started dismantling the arms control regime, which had been steadily established with difficulty over 60 years.

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

ICE is NOT "protecting our borders."
They arent at or near the border.
They are conducting ETHNIC CLEANSING in American cities, culling out hispanics and those who support them.
They are a terrorist organization, the US Gestapo.

Hay antecedentes de gente común combatiendo el fascismo en la calle. Combatiéndolo con protesta e incluso físicamente. Lo de Minneapolis me recordó “La batalla de Cable Street”:
El 4 de octubre de 1936, unos 100,000 londinenses salieron a impedir una marcha del fascista Oswald Mosley. Lo lograron.

El ministro del Interior había autorizado la marcha de la Unión Británica de Fascistas -seguidores de Hitler- y la policía tuvo que protegerla. Pero esos habitantes de Londres, antifascistas, se enfrentaron a los “camisas negras“ de Mosley y también a los policías. E hicieron fracasar la marcha.
