This is like Howard Zinn's book but for America's ambitious history in our appropriation of others' resources.

Every American should read it.

GOP Senator: So we've been, blowing up these people in boats, off the coast of Venezuela. They're accused of running drugs, but nobody knows their names and nobody's put up any evidence. And we just blow them up and against all laws of war. It's against the military code of justice to do that.

I told him we don't train like that in the military, and we're dealing with non-Americans. He was like, 'sucks to be you!'.😶

I got into a discussion about this very issue with a guy I went to HS with. He's a detective in AZ. I couldn't comprehend what he said, that between pulling the trigger first vs going home in one piece, he said he's shooting without a second thought.

They’ll put their hands on anyone they want to. Not another penny for this government until they shut this down.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

53% of Americans (surveyed).

America, we have a problem. 47% of those surveyed don't know what murder is and have zero respect for the Constitution.
53% of Americans think the ICE agent should face criminal charges for shooting and killing Renee Nicole Good.

Rep. Lieu: “Greg Bovino last night made a post that essentially called protesters, ‘cannon fodder.’ He needs to delete that post, or he needs to resign…If Greg Bovino and the administration doesn't turn down the rhetoric, it's going to cause more people to get killed.”

I am glad I am not the only one who sees it this way.

Trump to Americans: "Stop protesting or we'll kill you!"
Trump to Iranians: "HERE I COME TO SAVE THE DAYYYYY!"

Well, this isn’t at all disturbing /s

I wish we had maybe we should start having folks join ICE and gather intel…
A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"
