It should piss everyone in the U.S. off that a first-year public school teacher averages $45k a year, while a first-year ICE agent averages about $80k and gets a $50k sign-on bonus. We are bankrolling terrorists & bankrupting teachers. This is a systemic values problem, not a budget one.

This video shows ICE holding children hostage to bait parents out of their homes.
Just unspeakable levels of cruelty and inhumanity.

Just like their dear leader, these ice goons know how to lower the bar every single day.
Thanks. We have folks in our community giving vulnerable students rides to school, and a teacher shared that they were putting small stuffed animals on their dashboards to help kids identify safe cars. ICE picked up on it and started doing the same. Horrifying.

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

This thread is interesting. More importantly, it's not about the cosplayers terrorizing U.S. residents.
Acoustic guitars used to just be called ‘guitars.’
Then, we invented electric guitars. Oh no.
Which meant saying ‘guitar’ wasn’t clear enough.
So 'guitars' became 'acoustic guitars.'
‘Acoustic guitar’ is an example of a ‘retronym.’

Put another way, this is an admission that ICE officers are so unprofessional and inadequately trained that simply being criticized might cause them to lose control and resort to violence.
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

I feel exactly the same about MAGA voters as I do about those who wouldn't vote for Harris "because GAZA."
Trump: "I heard that number today -- half of Gaza would leave. I've always said it. I said if they were given the opportunity to live in a better climate, they would move. We're helping the people of Gaza a lot. So is Israel, by the way."
