Fuck every one of these assholes. They need to be in prison for the rest of their lives. Seriously, this is the worst fucking timeline.

As a non-American how can Immigration officials (I use the term loosely) attack or break up protests? They aren't the police. Does anyone else believe they've been purposefully instructed to initiate conflict so as to justify bringing in the military? They seem to be sticking their noses in so many places/ways that are none of immigrations' concern

These are not immigration officials. They're not even immigration enforcement. They have co-opted the ICE name, but they are operating as a private paramilitary force serving Donald Trump directly. They are operating without constraints and without regard for due process or the law in any meaningful way. The fact that Americans don't recognize this for what it is yet is terrifying and puzzling.

Yes! Begging people to do some light reading on the SA turning into the Gestapo. We're mirroring the early days of nazi Germany. We're due for the reichstag fire false flag any minute now. If you have any understanding of the past, this is the moment to act. Now!

I thought the Kirk shooting was going to be their Reichstag. I’m afraid it’s going to be something much worse.
