Even if ICE gets away with their target, confronting them everywhere is important because it ties up more of their people and resources for more time.
If ICE could send lone goons out to snatch people, they would, and they’d snatch more people. Grind them down everywhere. It costs them real money.

They clearly believed that Minneapolis would riot after they killed one of us. We didn’t, we organized. We followed them, we monitored them. We alerted our neighbors. We fought them in the courts. And now they’re desperate, so they’re brutalizing us, without a hint of legitimate government purpose.

What’s the longest prison sentence that someone can get for assault? This guy needs that plus a few years.

This is not the government of Greenland and also this is wrong.
We *don’t* hold the citizens of authoritarian governments collectively responsible for what their governments do. That’d be monstrous. It’s often said (and always correct to say) that Hitler’s first victims were German.

I believe that the revealed strategy here is for Democrats to avoid saying or doing that could possibly offend anyone and then win the midterms by default.
Unfortunately, a leadership that campaigns on nothing will keep doing nothing until Republicans inevitably win again, and kill us all.

The only reason people in power have ever needed to not call Trump a fascist is that doing so reveals an obvious corollary moral obligation to stop him, which in turn requires bravery that they do not have.
You want to know why Chuck Schumer is talking about affordability & not Trump being a fascist? It's because we already tried talking about him being a fascist *& everyone ignored us*.
A big part of why we are at where we are is that much of the world, the press, foreign leaders, a big hunk of US voters, simply refused to believe it when Democrats said Trump would be as bad as he is.

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”
