This is the way, make “ok, abolish only ICE” the moderate position.
Amid growing calls for the abolition of ICE, Rep. Delia Ramirez is calling for the entire DHS to be dismantled. Highlighting how much experience the officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had, Ramirez said, “DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity.”

Decades after the Cold War there is something irritating about centrist liberals continuing to give exceptionally lazy and stunningly inaccurate takes on Marx and Marxism that dont even seem aware of the basics of his thought.

The gun visible in the video closely matches the gun shown in a photograph later published online by DHS bsky.app/profile/bell...
The gun taken by the agent appears to match the general appearance of the firearm shared online by DHS, and which they said was Pretti’s. This agent’s back is turned from the scene with the gun in his hand when the first shot occurs.

I absolutely believe 7th grade civics-class ideas about America as a nation of immigrants and free people
At the end of the day, this is why you can't take anything Stancil does seriously. He's not a serious person with serious political ideas. He's an idiot with a concept of america formed by 7th grade civics class. He is exactly the kind of idiot that got us into this mess.
Hard agree. It’s just wrong! There’s a reason my community is full of Latino and Hmong and Somali people, and it’s because another America does exist and has existed. A free and welcoming America we can return to

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
