Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.
Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win
How's your non-violent working Mr Gandhi stancil? They will kill each and everyone of you right if they had the chance and you will still be writing Kumbaya.

No doubt putting a smile on the face of her boss, Kristi Noem again lies about a Minneapolis ICE murder, contradicting video just like last time. Foxaganda follows up with a panel basically saying: Attagirl! Even if it’s the easygoing prison camp Ghislaine Maxwell is in, Noem needs to do time.

You dumb motherfuckers listen to a smart person just once
Most of this year's ICE budget comes from last year's reconciliation bill. House Democratic leaders discouraged its members from offering amendments eliminating that funding. Didn't want the party to come across as anti-ICE.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

I just want to point out that Alex Pretti became a registered nurse in early 2021 -- the height of death from Covid. And he chose the ICU, the sickest patients, in Veterans Affairs.

One of the worst things about living under fascism. I remember watching the 2020 Delhi pogrom unfold live on social media. We all saw how it happened, how Muslims were attacked, by cops and civilians, & then we saw those same Muslims blamed, & activists & students arrested for the 'riot'.
Ultimately you're not supposed to believe it. It not mattering is the point. The bolder the lie, the greater the impunity. The ultimate victory for evil is not convincing you, it's the truth being irrelevant.
We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun
