ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Again - the Democratic Party armed liberal Presidents with the equipment to perform inhuman atrocities on the category of selected outgroups (migrants, 'terrorists', Muslims etc) - and liberals are now apparently horrified that that category has slightly widened to an extent they find distasteful.

One of the lasting impacts of William Buckley getting dog walked by James Baldwin in the Cambridge debate in 1965 was that racial conservatism decided it was easier to dismiss Black ideas because they couldn't win the argument.

We should ask why it’s so easy for terms and concepts like “Heritage American” and “Western Chauvinism” are met with earnest analysis and exploration while academic theory produced by Black scholars are summarily dismissed by people reading introductory texts if that.

A leaked DoJ memo calls for prosecutors to charge people who film ICE with “domestic terrorism”

They don’t want their atrocities documented.

They don’t want a historical record.

They don’t want the world to know.

That’s why we have to keep filming. Keep speaking out.

This is from the court filing. We know for a fact that CSG told an Australian soldier to disobey direct orders and lie to his superiors - to put them and Israel above his oath to this country.

And Minns wants to give them permission to be their own official armed police force here. This is fucked.

Giving Jillian Segal even more influence over Australian policy when she still hasn't denounced far-right group "Advance" (which she bankrolls) is extremely poor governing.

Australia deserves far better.
It's over five months since Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal made headlines for being one of the biggest funders of highly divisive, far-right political lobby group "Advance".

She has at all times refused to denounce Advance, its bigotry and racist hate.
