Here’s @schumer.senate.gov saying his job is to fight for aid to Israel — which most Dems disagree with… and gives a nod to a “delicate ceasefire” even as people in Gaza are still killed by Israeli bombs daily.

So after 2.5 years of Israel unrelenting genocide in Gaza some stats.
Israelis and others killed Oct 7th - 1195
Hamas killed since - 12,000 approximately of the 30,000
Palestinian civilians killed - 71,000
Don't tell me this was a military operation, it was a genocide that continues today.

I think it's rather sad that people are describing the ICE murders as "people are being killed by their own government", as though that were somehow unusual.
The majority of murders are committed by people known to the victims (relatives, neighbors, etc), but of the people killed by strangers...

"An individual approached US border patrol officers... The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently."
Video footage from multiple angles proves that this is outright bullshit.
Alex Pretti did not approach ICE officers nor did he react violently.

there really is no amount of training that would ever make how ICE operates less fascistic and violent for communities and immigrants and their families. immigration enforcement will always be violent and fascistic when the ones enforcing it come in tac vests and holsters. it is policing at its core

Now Noem says:
“This individual went and impeded their law enforcement operations...had a weapon on him, and multiple dozens of rounds of ammunition, wishing to inflict harm on these officers.”
So “had a weapon on him”, not brandishing.
Last time i checked they worked hard to make that a right.

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:
“ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.
This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.
