ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

ICE is not broken. It's agents murdering people, taking trophies of victims, using illegal tactics, breaking laws, spreading terror, exploiting children, and leaving death cards are not isolated events, outliers, or accidents. ICE is operating exactly as intended.

They think of that and still don't care. We laid out in explicit detail what would happen in 2016 re: SCOTUS and the tankies blew raspberries and did the jerk of motion and then told us how they don't regret their vote.
Primary elections are when you're right to be picky and have a candidate "earn" your vote by their policies, history, stances.
General elections are for voting to keep the barbarians out.
Don't believe that, think of 2016 and 2024.
Kick the barbarians out!
