If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.
Yes, Peter decided that the continued existence of our democracies isn't compatible with his desired level of personal freedom.

An absolute enemy of humanity.

“Dear ICE agents - I hope you’re respectful to everyone and show kindness… we should treat all people the same, even if we don’t know them.”

If this doesn’t shatter your heart you don’t have one. 💔

Minnesota is grieving. But we’re resolved. The support we’ve received from across the country has energized us, and given us hope.

It’s time for the federal government to draw down their forces and let us get back to allowing freedom, opportunity, and security – for everyone.

"Who is going to get out to vote for nebbishness when federal officers are shooting American citizens in the street? People are angry and they want someone who will fight for them. It seems impossible to fight the fires of Trumpism with the tepid water of centrism."

Probably the most successful piece of legislation in US history, measured by social benefit generated per dollar spent. Also wildly popular, across demographics.

Without any public discussion or consultation of Congress, the Trump administration has effectively killed it.
The Trump administration has “virtually stopped enforcing the Clean Air Act,” lodging just one consent decree in a relatively small case since Trump’s inauguration, compared with 26 in the first year of Trump's first term, & 22 in Biden’s first year. peer.org/under-epas-z... 1/

Laura Ingraham is telling Schumer what to do
if polling is so tilted against DHS/ICE that Laura fucking Ingraham is calling the post-9/11 creation of DHS unnecessary bureaucratic overreach on Fox News, the Democrats shouldn’t be aiming for moderate reforms as a negotiated compromise position - they should be pressing this advantage.
we are witnessing historic backpedaling here

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Pretty sure the only thing this will accomplish is a de-escalation in these companies' profits
More profiles in cowardice:
Target, Best Buy, General Mills, Cargill and roughly four dozen other large MN companies issued a public letter calling for an “immediate de-escalation of tensions” in the state. Stops short of condemning the killings or who is responsible for them.
