Exactly: This is why "Uh, I don't have any training tho" is a valid defense in court for every homicide done by anyone ever.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Keep in mind there is currently a nurse strike that is about to boil into CA. Nurses have already had enough. This is a tinderbox.

I don’t understand this mindset. They are already shooting innocent people in the street with impunity, denying the existence of the 4th amendment, and throwing folks into concentration camps. This fetishization of survivor bias is goose stepping us straight into the thing you want to avoid.

Wtaf is happening. Vanguardist Bill Kristol

WNBA Legend, Lynx Legend & current assistant coach Rebekkah Brunson:

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

“Look for the helpers, they’ll be the ones with the boot on their necks and bullets in their backs” - America

We cannot go on like this for three more years.

I’m not sure we can do this for three more fucking days

Those currently in power don’t understand that the rule of law protects THEM as much as it protects US. It’s not a privilege they grace us with, it’s the fundamental basis of the agreement wherein people agree to be governed. You take that away and shit gets bad for everyone.

Bill fucking Kristol is out here saying abolish ICE and Democrats are about to give increased funding.

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity. They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

I will be blocking anyone who says ICE murders could be avoided if people complied or stayed home. Fuck off. They're prepping for door to door violence The next step is murdering people IN THEIR HOMES. I'm not here to communicate with anyone who blames people for getting murdered.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

All the killed had years of experience. It’s not a lack of training, it’s them being unleashed to use it.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Hey so 2 notes 1. the executions have been from fucking ICE trainers 2. Did you sleeep through the entire BLM movement where he all watched cops prove again and again they like killing people Ps. Google 40% cops for information

Too obvious a point even to make, perhaps. But there was no “unrest” in Minneapolis before ICE and CBP showed up. ICE and CBP are the cause of the chaos…and the killings. Get them out of there.

Come the fuck ON dude. Force the damn crisis that's long been here already.

The year is 2026 and I am unironically retweeting Bill Kristol and it’s not the fist time.

On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

If someone is a member of the armed forces or national guard, I hope they start searching their soul for their moral compass. The next year is looking like an absolute humanitarian calamity when they will be ordered to fire on their brothers and sisters. The choice is theirs and that is chilling.

I, for one, am SHOCKED that after juuuuust enough Dems broke ranks to pass ICE funding, ICE immediately murdered another person in cold blood. Vichy mother fuckers.

This is my moderate position

If the US were a geopolitical rival the headlines would be like: US Secret Police Execute Second Dissident In the Streets As Militarized Occupation Enters Sixth Week

The top people America will tell everyone that they’re allowed to do this and in fact it is good that they do and the media will at best portray it as one side of an equal two sided coin and everyone must must must reject this loudly and consistently

It is genuinely insane to watch capital decide that allowing this shit to go on is better for them than having to allow the FTC to do mild monopoly investigations and require cancellation buttons on websites.

Hey guys I’m an absolute imbecile. A total idiot with no brain. I’m a democratic politician who thinks it’s only a constitutional crisis if we defend ourselves from the lawless gestapo, not if they take your rights away without any friction. Anyway, bbl, gotta dig my head deeper into the sand! 🧑‍🦯‍➡️ 🧗‍♂️

Walz’s refusal to do anything feels like complicity or capitulation. When people feel the state no longer protects the, we get extremely bad outcomes. See also: The King riots in 1992. And what was the response then? The insurrection act. The governor trying to avoid conflict is just goading it.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Democrats really just do not understand the assignment. The time to “hope” that the feds are going to do the right thing is over. Unfortunately, the opposition has to stand up and force the constitutional crisis. The states have to stand up for their people, not beg ICE to be nice.

Me my whole life: Nothing is black and white. You have to consider nuance Now: We face a heinous, remorseless evil

Things going great in America.

Imagine having this kind of douche ass opinion while the secret police are kidnapping people and asserting a right to ignore the fourth amendment. “Pragmatic” is another way to spell collaboration. Fuck all the way off.

They just can’t travel here

I'm not sure what the appropriate punishment is for these people, but whatever it is it needs to be harsh.

"My white capitalist state is better than your white capitalist state."

Reform or revolution? When you see this kind of behavior do you think these people and this agency can be reformed? Or do we abolish it entirely and reassess what problem we were trying to solve if these are the means we needed to use to doing so?

What are we even doing here. Not only do these people want to start over from first principles on settled science (eg vaccines), but for civil liberties as well.

“I’m proposing a bill that redirects $75 billion from the people who harass and kill minorities to the people who harass and kill minorities”

The only morally right “lesser evil”take!

How fitting it is that as China is about to have a century of prosperity, America is poised for a century of humiliation ala the Qing dynasty, complete with our own version of opium dens

After more than a century of defending the Mediterranean, North Africa, West Asia, and the Balkans, Rome is now positioned as an imperial power trying to seize the land of the Gauls.
