If ICE were a gang randomly terrorizing businesses, kidnapping people, driving recklessly and damaging cars and property, most citizens would rise up in righteous anger and demand action. Sadly, because they are wearing cop costumes, it looks like it will take a major atrocity to wake people up.

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense.

Used to live next door to it on Albion and I am glad it survives!

Just got back from seeing it, it’s so powerful and on point. Had almost forgotten Benicio was in it and he steals his scenes. Epic!

Mind-blowing film. And so real in all its surreality.

This is the kind of film that is to 2025 what Strangelove and Catch 22 were to an earlier generation.

Art and popular culture must step up. It is necessary to fuel us for the long fight.

The fact that these ICE “agents” are not so bright is….not good

Softening us up for the Insurrection Act. If 30 million citizens march peacefully next weekend and one knucklehead “assaults” a cop with a subway sandwich, it’s martial law. They are itching to do it…

Would love to see someone with editing skills make a compilation of these ICE atrocity clips accompanied by a Lee Greenwood soundtrack

So tired of the MSM adopting his framing. The president does not make “deals”! “Critics” are not the only ones that question the legality of his actions. And on and on

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Sometimes I imagine Jared doing that trick where he hangs upside down from the roof of a service station and it always brings a smile.

Yes, no need to make assumptions about seeing masked thugs spinning and tackling a 15-year girl. Please contact the police to hear the world-class bullshit narrative. Don’t believe what you see and hear.

I'm rooting for the Cubs to win today so that Chicago and Los Angeles, the two big cities at the heart of Trump's crackdown, will meet for the NLCS next week. Remind people that the most American of sports is full of the hated immigrants and the cities they live in are proud of their communities.

Sent a clip of his comment on “Portland burning down” to a family cult member who lives in the area, to see if the penny would drop. Reaction: crickets.

They are all lost in the wilderness.

Drove by some of my local anti-fascists this morning. They don't get around much, but they support us.

Image of my local military cemetary. Endless identical headstones.
