Never forget this. And remind everyone who’ll listen that THIS is the truth.

I’ve seen multiple idiots claim that the left has done a 180 on 2A, when, in fact, that is *exactly* what the right has done.

Just like they did with political violence. And cronyism. And naked corruption. And accountability. And free speech. And censorship. And big government. And pedophilia.

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.

The Trump administration opposed efforts to expand the use of body cameras by ICE officers, urging Congress in June to cut funding for the program by 75%.

“White Evangelical Christians are the source of everything afflicting our nation: all of this violence, chaos, dehumanization, and suffering.”

They are The Christian Taliban and they want their own version of Sharia Law imposed on all of us.

The bible eclipses the Constitution in their world.

Funding these people is funding fascism‼️Listen to this ICE agent tell this legal observer that if he raises his voice that he will erase his voice. This is not the way folks, this has to be stopped in its tracks. #FundHealthcareStopICE

FUCK DHS! All of them.

If this goes on much longer there will be no coming back from it. How can we live in harmony with people who think this is ok? 💔

Ellison: "We have the right as a state, as a co-sovereign, to do our own business with our own tax money. What the federal govt has said is, 'if you don't do it our way, we're gonna saturate your state with 4,000 ICE agents until you cry uncle and obey us.' That's unconstitutional and illegal."

IMMORAL…

This drawing was made by one of the 5 year old El Gamal twins. It shows children behind bars with the caption, “I’m 5 years old.”

An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.

Jon Stewart calls phones, “Weapons of Mass Illumination” & I love him for that. My heart is 💔 for every person injured & murdered by this regime, & I know that many of these people are anonymous. We don’t know about them or what happened to them because it wasn’t caught on video. @thedailyshow.com

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

To all the people acting shocked that civil war is breaking out among influencers & notable people in the MAGAsphere, I’ll just remind you that this movement was birthed from the yolk of REALITY TV, a genre that thrives on DRAMA & LIES. Of course the in-fighting is on fire, it’s all they know.

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.”

The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.
