ICE detained Purple Heart veteran William Vermie for hours at the Whipple Federal Building.
He says he’s speaking out because he’s white, he has privilege and if he doesn’t use it to stand up for others, who will?
That is what solidarity looks like.

🧵Any Member of Congress can introduce the case that Donald Trump is levying war on the US in violation of the Treason Clause, and that treason is self-impeaching conduct. Every member should.

no honor, no dignity. a lifetime of trying to atone for the wrong they’re doing will not be enough. The appropriate posture for them all this morning is on their knees in the Minnesota cold begging the God of the universe, Who is against them, for forgiveness
How much more in your face can it be?
"Why are you asking me for my paperwork?"
"Because of your accent."
"You have an accent too."
"Where were you born sir?"
"Where were you born at?"
"Put your hands behind your back."

Every ICE agent is a traitor. That is what it is called when you take up arms against your own country.
if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed.
everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.

the shooter is literally on camera saying "fucking bitch" after shooting a woman who had just told him "I'm not mad at you" but sure, people who think this sucks need to tone down their rhetoric

Second, and probably most importantly, it's tactically wrong. "No point discussing political opposition to fascism, there won't be elections anyway" cedes victory to your enemies. It's defeatism and nihilism.

I've said before and I'll say again, a lot of "pro-cop" people don't as if like law enforcement are human beings with agency at all. It's your fault for going near them, like they're saltwater crocodiles or something. Not humans entrusted with deadly force, whom we might hold to any standard.

really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?
