I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

I served my country as a combat veteran for 21-years. I was wounded on the battlefield in Iraq. I served at the Pentagon under presidents from both parties, putting our nation’s safety before politics.
You can bet your ass I’m not backing down from the fight against chaos and corruption.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Blaming the victims is nothing new in America, especially in its right-wing media, when a hotheaded white vigilante loses his cool and uses deadly force without justification.

We knew in 2015 that the asshole was a Russian asset,
and that Putin’s wet dream was to destroy NATO and break the United States from within.
And a series of white men, Dems & Republicans, decided to do a whole lot of shit BESIDES stopping that from happening.
And that’s why it is.
