The people who are spending their days keeping an eye on these fucking thugs are goddamn heroes.

I reckon ICE's violence is a part of why republicans got trounced in the election. I hope that ICE can be effectively checked by the new congress.
It's important to remember that our Democratic leaders' response to all this was to fund DHS and issue sternly-worded letters that Donald likely just wiped his ass with. And those same two leaders are acting as if they'll be majority leaders in Congress next year.
So if you're excited right now, might be best to temper your expectations.
LA, Portland, Chicago, and Minneapolis showed we can still have a little faith in people, though, so there's that.
We need massive and sustained protest in DC, people need to occupy the area around the Capitol and make Dems afraid of the people who just elected them
As your LEADER I Promise to do NOTHING and THATS why I know you'll Support Me!
-LITERALLY Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer!
They act like marshall law
Martial. But yes.
The agents then drove the student around for a while before letting him out.
What procedure is this?!
Either you make an arrest, assume responsibility (including medical) for your prisoner and document the procedure properly, or you don't arrest them at all.
Breaking a wrist, noticing your fuck up, and throwing them back on the street is not how any of this works.
This happened to someone in my neighborhood a few months ago. ICE torqued his arm real bad getting him into the car, then after driving him around and "interrogating" him, they realized he was a citizen and just left him on the side of the road.
The local cops took a report and started a paper trail, but because it happened outside town, it's the sheriff's jurisdiction, so not much happened.
Breaking a wrist, noticing your fuck up, and throwing them back on the street is not how any of this works.
this is exactly how all of this works. have you not been paying attention to police, like....ever??
They have killed at least two people over the past year by doing exactly this and releasing them in some random location without adequate clothing, money, mental competency, etc, to survive the weather and get home.
Remember that lady who they claimed rammed her car so they shot her a bunch of times? They also just 'let her go' after shooting her and then she drove herself to the hospital. This is nothing new with the modern SS.
I love that people have the courage to follow ICE and record their bullshit
Reminder: Hakeem Jefferies and Chuck Schumer REFUSE to abolish ICE.
If you have Democratic representatives in the next congress, call them and demand that Jefferies and Schumer are not made Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader, respectively.
Sign the petitions to deny these two those roles as well:
Petition against Jefferies:
Petition against Schumer:
Please spread the word and links far and wide.
Signed. Dang, Schumer's doesn't have nearly as many signatures, let's go people
As far as I can tell none of the other congress people seem to want that job. I wish one of them would step up
I mean, would you?
The press has probably been kinder to Jeffries than to John boehner, Kevin McCarthy, or Nancy Pelosi, and it’s still not exactly flattering coverage. Paul Ryan got off pretty easy (for a guy dumb enough to tell reporters RATM was one of his favorite musicians while being a conservative legacy politician and business inheritor; to paraphrase Tom Morello, Ryan is the machine), and majority leader is a less impactful role, so they don’t tend to get as raked.
Either one kind of pigeonholes you in congress unless you can then leap to president or vp, but most of the people trying that in the last fifty years have lost and exited politics.
Plus, you’ve got to engage in politics all the time. I know they’re all politicians, but I really hope they didn’t all get into it because they like constantly negotiating with their caucus members and opponents, then pressuring them, then (allegedly) fucking them over if they don’t vote like they want.
Here here. Sign and call, and be ready to protest if they don't listen.
Don't let them ignore the voices of the people.
Was watching Zeteo with Medhi Hasan and Emma Vigeland talking about this. They say Jeffries is a lock already with AOC and Mamdami kinda giving way (they talk about it being strategic at this point) but Schumer can be ousted:
Stopping this AFTER Texas Kansas and Mississippi turned BLUE is NOT on The Agenda!
-LITERALLY Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer!
I thought they were going to kill me
Probably because they've publicly executed multiple American citizens.
I want to point out how NOT NORMAL it is for me to have typed the previous sentence.
Worse than Slave Patrols. Long ago, they'd get in trouble if they captured and returned a slave and they couldn't work the next day.
Don't worry I'm sure Schumer/Jeffries and the other DNC leaders will do something about that anytime now. Yup, anytime......
Though if they don't(and they won't) there's always still becoming armed and organized. Far more valuable than waiting for the same defunct party that helped usher in this age of fascism, especially when they say that justice isn't a priority for them.
Yes. Its addressed in the article. Hes disabled.
