They aren't specialists in violence they're just dicks the government gave badges to, don't mythologize being a thug because you're scared of loud noises
It’s worth considering that an overnight dismantling of ICE in 2029 would release into the wild a whole herd of specialists in violence with scant other marketable skills.

Did you know:
ICE agents are cowards? They are untrained & weak? They are sniveling little Nazis who kill when they feel belittled & frustrated, & when made to feel ACTUAL fear they will abandon their Righteous Cause in moments?

You can beat them? You can do it now?

After ICE agents shot people in Minneapolis tonight, a crowd faced them down and eventually chased them away, despite federal mercenaries and police shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas.
ICE agents abandoned vehicles in the area, containing IDs, paperwork, license plates, and operational plans.

genuine progressives would dismantle the system that funnels wealth into a few ultra-rich pockets, so nothing. expect zero help on that front
I want to ask the flipside question: what will it take for wealthy progressives to fund the infrastructure and entities needed to identify, support, and sustain emerging voices on *our* side of the aisle?
Anti-trans demagogue and fifth place swimmer Riley Gaines earned $470,000+ last year from a conservative non-profit.
Notably, $420k was incentive-based.
A neat little window into the way the transphobic grift is being compensated.
I wonder what the per-post rate is?

I’m proud of Congresswoman McBride for voting in support of the Charlie Kirk resolution. She made a strong argument for seeking bipartisan consensus in condemning political violence, particularly with the ongoing threats against the trans community. She did the right thing.
What happened this week is chilling: Trump’s FCC Chair threatened ABC over comments a comedian made—and yesterday, his show was suspended.
No matter our politics, using government power to punish speech is an attack on the First Amendment.

This is 100% why you shouldn’t let more moderate leftists shame you for having catharsis/celebrating during these moments.
Charlie Kirk, Trump, whoever all only speak in lies designed to kill YOU. They are killers
Facts and lies are the same to these people. They are constantly riled already.

I don't think it really matters, if I'm totally honest. Reactionaries will invent whatever narrative they need to advance their goals. Facts need not apply.

Saying "Death to the IDF" is taken more seriously by the UK gov. than the IDF *actually* killing 10's of thousands of Palestinian people, which the government is directly facilitating & punishing resistance to.
I mean, this is just straight up censorship by the government and the BBC
![Police in Somerset say they are assessing comments made on stage by rap punk duo Bob Vylan and Irish-language rap group Kneecap at Glastonbury Festival on Saturday.
The government has "strongly condemned" chants from Bob Vylan who called for "death" to the Israeli military during their performance which was broadcast live on the BBC.
Rapper Bobby Vylan led chants of "free, free Palestine" and "death, death to the IDF [lsrael
Defense Forces]".
A BBC spokesperson said some of the comments were "deeply offensive", adding it had issued a warning on screen about "very strong and discriminatory language". The set will not be available to rewatch on BBC iPlayer.
The Israeli Embassy posted on the social media site X that it was "deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:iybvm2uwpxfrwg7emykdx72b/bafkreia4byo2ujfe5eerk4mv2q2v7whgoepcbihzwornucfcvyetzmvrqu@jpeg)
