Hey! You! Do you like... learning things? Do you like... laughing?? Do you like... being that annoying person in the conversation who gets to say "um ACTUALLY Einstein wasn't even that smart he couldn't even swim and he KEPT falling in the ocean and making people save him"?

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

Americans need to start planting trees so at some point there is enough wood to build the scaffolds to hang all these bastards from.

"Aides to Todd Blanche directed the U.S. Atty’s office and FBI agents based in MN to shut down a civil rights investigation into an officer’s fatal shooting of Renee Good and instead alter it to probe Good for possible criminal liability, according to three people briefed on the discussions."

You cannot detain or arrest a baby, you can only kidnap her. These people need to wear a scarlet letter, need to ring a bell to loudly declare their moral bankruptcy. Everyone must be allowed to avoid them until they have made amends.

So you think kids should be vaccinated at gunpoint against their parents’ wishes or removed from the home?

All of this.

Disrupt the “violence comes from emotions running too high” narrative whenever you can.

Patriarchal violence doesn’t come from someone losing control. It comes from someone using a very specific set of tactics to seek more control than they already have.
This is it right here. Law enforcement personnel who move 0 to 60 with their aggression when "executing detention orders" are doing so from learned behavior - it is not instinctual to smash a car window, cut someone's seat belt, drag them out of their car and throw them to the ground. It's taught.
Watching these videos of ICE attacking children, I can’t help but think about how many of these men first practiced their violence in their own homes.

Domestic violence teaches our oppressors to dehumanize the most vulnerable among us.

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

The clergy just keep coming to this anti-ICE protest.

Genuinely unclear where they all will go — it’s packed outside on the sidewalk already.

The observers weren’t doing anything but blowing whistles, presumably to let the neighborhood know there were shitty drivers armed with tear gas around.

Gas was deployed on the lawn of an apartment building where I know small children live, for no reason other than cowardice.

ICE just crashed a car at my intersection (due to their own shitty driving) and immediately got out and tear gassed observers.

there's no more rule stating that we have to tolerate this sort of person in our midst. likely there never was such a rule

There is already a choice! You just generally can’t attend public schools if you don’t. Let’s not pretend people are FORCED to vaccinate. If you want taxpayer funded schooling you have to give a shit about other people’s kids.

I tell you what I love. Super successful TV people doing podcasts. It means the rest of us can go back to doing it for the love of the art, rather than money. Thanks for keeping us real guys.
