Unfortunately I’ve heard this after every murder committed by the Baltimore Police Department too. We’ve spent decades getting acclimated to this. Whatever comes next it can’t be a return to what was normal before it.

The implication here seems to be that if you just cut them loose, they will be a dangerous and violent element in society. But if they are then...just prosecute them? Like, that seems pretty straightforward? Is there any reason we wouldn't do so?

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Folks...

Honestly, the dems should be campaigning on entirely open borders.

The SS was not abolished because the entire government that operated the SS was obliterated in a literal war. Abolishing ICE, an organization that has never done any good and has no valid reason to exist and is only 23 years old, is something that you do with a still-existing governmemnt.

Turn off video auto-play in your settings, fam. You do not have a duty to view violent content, please don’t traumatise yourself.

Abolish Ice, fire them all, and then prosecute everyone, based on every complaint. I don't care if it takes a decade. I want these people ten years from now afraid that their friends and loved ones will find out they worked for ICE.

literally anybody whose *actual job* involves having to watch atrocity videos will tell you it's hugely psychologically self-destructive and not something you should voluntarily put yourself through on a daily basis.

co-signed. shut the fuck up, doomers, you're adding nothing of value to the conversation.

An ICE officer fatally shooting a woman in Minneapolis is not the first time federal agents involved in immigration have shot a person this year. Here are two shootings, including another fatal one, during the recent Chicago blitz.

I just left the Venezuela briefing. It's worse than you thought. Oil company executives seem to know more about Trump's secret plan to "run" Venezuela than the American people. We need public Senate hearings NOW.

"Abolish ICE" is all well and good but it's just kinda... zoomed out so far that only the goal is visible and not the reasons or methods. "Arrest ICE for murder" is longer but it is far more difficult for people to write off as merely a lefty slogan

Statement from the mayor of Minneapolis:

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

It’s cute when non-Americans think we can just leave the country and move somewhere else to escape all this, as if their governments haven’t also made their immigration processes just as cruel and slow.

and the most "progressive" countries also still hate disabled people, so if you're diagnosed with anything (including things like autism) that's an immediate denial

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll shoot you in the fucking face if you don’t cheer them on while they’re doing it.

probably a good day to turn off autoplaying video; as noted in the comments, this sometimes is reset by updates/reinstalls

so ICE is just shooting people in the face in cold blood in the middle of the street now abolish it and prosecute everyone involved, there can be no "looking forward" about this kind of shit

Rent is due today, need about $400. Shop orders help a ton!!!!! You can also help me out on ko-fi 💖 ko-fi.com/mcapriglione...

Watching a lot of Years of Lead era Italian film, and then looking at contemporary American politics, and some real history rhyming vibes going on.

"Woke Plato" is such a funny thing to claim if you know anything about the politics of classical Athens

anyway this is why i get mad when ppl suggest y2k and the hole in the ozone layer was some kind of hoax. maybe it’s hard to believe but there was a time when we had enough consensus reality to fix very serious problems!

You probably need to be at least in the 30-40yo range to really remember this, if you're from the US? Scads of people insisted it would kill off most bars and many restaurants if smoking was banned in public indoor spaces.

If Conway were running in a red district, we could talk. He is literally running to replace a very progressive member of Congress.

I legit cannot express the rage I feel towards the vilification of certain oils has led to the spread of avocado oil usage for no reason. It's not a healthier oil. And unlike olive oil there's no taste reason to switch. You've just introduced a secret allergen into your food supply. Congrats

corporate media and centrist pundits are largely ignoring the drop in crime because their focus on crime during and after the George Floyd protests was about racism 🤷🏾‍♀️

There are only 218 Republicans left in the House. Make them produce a majority every day, every hour, for every thing.

This was also true in the US for a very long time. Mid century food was a cavalcade of culinary crimes.

we've got some ICE shit going down in our little town today and it took like three minutes for a convoy of wine moms to start chasing them around town. normies hate this shit and are putting in the work

one of my all time favorite tweets I played varsity tennis in high school and I could win a point against Serena only if she made an unforced error because she was aiming for my nuts or something this is also true of some woman ranked 170th that you’ve never heard of

by Larry Elder while in high school. This is who he is. Evil people aren't good people shaped by events and abuse. Many of us in life have been through terrible events, and terrible abuses and it's not a Nazi pipeline. Miller had a nice family and we know that because they're horrified by him

Hey you! Read my goofy comic about everyone being turned into cacti except for the most bottom of the barrel familiars.

maybe vote for democrats and not the people who were the early minds behind trumpism www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

My one real comment on the Jan 6 5 yr anniversary is that it was carried out by rich people. The poor hick stereotype is incorrect. It was rich people, suburban millionaires and their backers. We know this from who was arrested. It cost money to go to DC, stay at fancy hotels, fund this, etc.

The fact that any of those nations would turn to Russia or China or a dictator before us is an embarrassment. And it is an embarrassment that is entirely the fault of the US. Rooted in its bigotry and condescension.

Heeheehee, 😁🐸.

(another @jayeallisonashtear.bsky.social take that I think has unfortunately aged very well is that in 2016 we (understandably) paid too much attention to the alt-right and not enough to the traditional religious right; the former all crashed out while the latter marched on)

"we should learn to live with each other" kinda falls apart when the main disagreement between us is whether "each other" deserves to live or not

lot of things i could say here but mostly i guess i would like to implore everyone to find a personality other than "least favorite roommate during a house meeting in portland, oregon"

We’re entering the age of AI slop that people believe en masse. This post is 100% fake and probably AI generated. All made up. Yet massive number of upvotes, views and shares. Journalist @caseynewton.bsky.social got in touch with the “whistleblower.” The guy faked all “evidence” with AI…

My favorite genre of news story is "wild animal breaks into building, has a great time, and naps"

all this could of been avoided if people acted with empathy and asked the simple question "if my politically active but not terminally online side of my family or friends were to see this post how would they react?" Parker imo didnt do anything wrong, she just acted like that family member.

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years. Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

Dammit. CK3 hasn’t really connected the adventurer dlc to the newer dlc! There could be a lot done there- but instead there’s no way to get missions at nomad yurts or do anything different or interesting in China- and you actually get paid *less*. That sucks.

I really need Dems and GOP alike to push hard on Miller’s claim that Greenland should somehow belong to us. Like calling for heads, starting impeachment proceedings, demanding Miller go level pushback. Not strongly worded statements.

reddit is probably the least terrible site at this point which is not so much an endorsement as an indictment of everything else
