Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
I can’t understand how U.S. citizens can allow this to happen: all this injustice, this inhumanity, this primitive brutality, the war crimes, and corruption...
Where is that much-vaunted national pride?
The only thing the world regularly gets to see are the misdeeds of this masked gang of criminals and other masked Nazis marching through the streets on national holidays. Is this the U.S.? The land of the free?
Its a good thing America has all those 2A militias who can resist the tyrannica-
interrupted by a man leaning over and whispering in my ear
... Wait, that's them??
And black men joining in as if they won't be stabbed in the back by those same people.
Latinos and other minorities as well. Truly mind boggling.
"Nazi scum. We are going to put every single one of you in jail. Don't you fucking forget".
Largest funding for a government law enforcement organization and still can't afford a translator? Having a minor family member translate is never acceptable. That's why hospitals and other services hire translators. An org that by definition handles immigrants must expect such a requirement.
And don't come at me with "learn English when you come here". It's not their responsibility that the law gets enforced effectively and lawfully. It's ICE's and they fail horribly at it on a daily basis. They need to see consequences.
People are just talking to them. I feel so angry just looking at this, I think I'd start physically intimidating them. I understand of course that they're armed etc. but still... there's enough people around, clearly disagreeing with what the goons are doing there! Maybe just pull down their masks. But everybody has their phones out which somehow seems to prevent everybody from taking further action (hands should be occupied with a makeshift weapon instead). I appreciate people filming it, or calling it in, but it doesn't have to be everyone.
Looking at the girl's expressions is heartbreaking. At first she's just trying to help, clearly proud of her skills, but as it dawns on her what's really going on here she gets that fearful & pleading look, until she finally just breaks down crying. And all the time that overdressed failed excuse of a human being is looming over her.
The problem is they've proven the phones don't always matter. They definitely help, record every second of these assholes. But they have shown they have little issue gunning down someone in broad daylight, cameras or not.
But we need to get mad, protest, shut down the government and the city until they solve this problem. Citizens, Americans, are dying on our own soil with the slightest made up excuse. Fuck ICE.
This is evil.
