A review that articulates what was wrong with One battle after another way better then I could. It’s perfect movie for libs as it’s almost completely devoid of left wing politics other then resistance and it plays to their white savior fantasy

Block Club Chicago quotes a representative from the the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, and if AltNPS wanted to help support the Chicagoans who were hurt by this raid, that would be a great place to start:

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

In the last two weeks these feds have choked & beaten protesters, broken bones, given people concussions from munitions, pointed their sidearms at people, tear gassed a neighborhood, shot reporters in the face, destroyed neighbors' property, threatened elected officials

No National Guard necessary

I don't want 100 troops sent to Chicago. It's a major escalation that must be opposed. I also want folks to understand that the agents that have been attacking us at Broadview are more heavily armed and elaborately, tactically outfitted than National Guard troops would be. We're already in some shit

Civility Politics are just white supremacy that is digestible for white moderates and centrists.

Wild seeing these white centrists fully back white supremacist beliefs like this but not surprising.

This is why I have been so clear that the white moderates are just as racist as any fascist.

No wonder Ezra Klein was pro ICE in his “this is authoritarianism” op-ed

Text from Ezra Klein’s op ed which reads:
“government has to serve the people and be accountable to the people. ICE can conduct legitimate deportations, but there can't be masked agents roaming the streets refusing to identify themselves or their authority. The Trump family cannot be hoovering in money and investments from the countries that depend on us and that fear our power and our sanctions. There have to be inspectors general and JAGs and career prosecutors watching to make sure the government is being run on behalf of the people rather than on behalf of the Trump family.”
