I do. And I think it’s very much by design. It’s right out of the authoritarian playbook. 1) First you create situations intended to stoke civil unrest. 2) Then, at the slightest provocation, you suspend civil rights and/or voting in the name of “restoring law and order.” The next step for Trump is to invoke the insurrection act. |
What about arresting them at the scene? Constitutionally how does that work? Someone calls 911 and reports the shooting. Can local police arrive and arrest fed agents? |
This is the whole point of these deployments- wear masking, beat up people, murder, terrorize the population, etc. Make the people hate maga, republicans and take their revenge. No deployments in Florida or Texas with over 4 million illegal and 10’s of million legal immigrants. |
In theory, yes. But not with a lawless White House. |
| ICE is turning into the modern day version of the SS. It's a paramilitary force designed to terrorize the general population into submission. |
Local police should unmask these ICE thugs and summary execute them. ICE and republicans would get behind that! You can’t interfere with the police. Just like Iran. |

This is murder! Saw the video and this is murder. Guy has both hands on the ground. He was on his knees. He was protecting a woman from a man. Wow then they lied about it. This is murder.
Also, what about the second amendment? |
I think it's possible we have seen the spark. In 17 days, DHS has shot 3 people in one city, killing two. A city which is safe, economically strong, highly literate, and led by the opposition party. |
Just one blood clot needs to break free… |
| He was a nurse at a VA hospital. |
| Murderous Nazis. Period. How tf are Americans tolerating this shit? |
I think it is going to be never ending chaos until the midterms. |
| The victim was well dressed and well groomed. He did not look like anyone’s stereotype of a lefty.He was filming with his phone and did not appear to be throwing anything, yelling profanities, or doing anything that could be termed “domestic terrorism.” Watch as the right tries to destroy his reputation as they did with Renee Good. With her, it was easy because she was a lesbian. Within a few hours, Jesse Walters was on Fox News referring to her sexuality as if it was a bad thing. What are they going to say about this ordinary looking guy? |
Helping someone get up out of the road. And ICE executed him. |
This doesn't necessarily get better when Trump dies. Congress is a useless joke. Vance has no convictions. Miller has tasted immense power and won't give it up easy. We are a failed state. A failed state rarely becomes functional in quick fashion just because the figurehead changes. |
