We’re owed a few evil people deaths asap. Like 10-12 for Catherine O’Hara alone. Come on fascist scumbags, get to croaking.

See, the “immigration crisis,” “border emergency” etc - it’s 100% made up. There is NO crisis except panicked, violently racist white people. That’s it.

All this suffering and death is caused by that and only by that. The rest is bullshit: an excuse to grab power by a white supremacist regime.

Highly agree. The sequel “Which Lie Did I Tell?” is just as good.
I highly recommend Goldman’s “Adventures in the Screen Trade” which sums up the entertainment industry in its first line: “Nobody knows anything.”

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stop calling us Nazis & maybe we won’t execute you.
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

This is the way. Any 2028 Dem candidates need to start saying that on Day One: (1) all ICE agents fired; (2) pensions/benefits defunded; (3) forced to pay backpay as restitution to victims; and (4) only way to avoid prison is to become a cooperating informant
Maybe instead of identifying specific ICE agents who do particularly heinous things, we could just penalize everyone who was on payroll at the agency starting by a certain date.

Every one of those Dems should get every inbox they've got flooded with every picture of every ICE atrocity until they're driven from office.
The seven Democrats who sided with Republicans were Reps. Henry Cuellar (Texas), Jared Golden (Maine), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Laura Gillen (N.Y.), Don Davis (N.C.), Tom Suozzi (N.Y.) and Vicente Gonzalez (Texas).
NEW: Federal agents have detailed a Spokane 10-year-old and her father.

They remain in a Texas immigration detention center.

The judge that is set to oversee the case has a 90%+ denial rate for asylum claims. www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...

What’s it like to have an actual opposition party?
The Democrats who voted FOR I.C.E. funding:

Henry Cuellar (Texas)
Vicente Gonzalez (Texas)
Laura Gillen (N.Y.)
Jared Golden (Maine)
Marie Glusenkamp Perez (Wash.)
Don Davis (N.C.)
Tom Suozzi (N.Y.)

These are conservative Ds anyway, and represent pinkish districts.

Their challenge coin is a laughing skeleton wearing a crown, with vultures on it's shoulders.

Looks less like something you'd give "law enforcement" and more like something you'd give to the death squad of a king.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

If we’re just doing classic, but my PS5 is pretty much a Cyberpunk 2077 & Baldurs Gate 3 machine.

"It wasn't murder, and if you say it was murder we will kill you, which again will not be murder."
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

“No honor” show your face then, coward.
I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

I notice that none of the people who argue it was self-defense discuss the fact that they refused to let a doctor treat her.

Truly elite
Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.

This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.
