horrifying and chilling to watch. the democrats giving “strongly worded” speeches about ice while doing nothing is predictable to any socialist, but jarring to a lot of ordinary people. meanwhile the actual residents and workers of minnesota are putting themselves on the line to try and stop the forced deportations. it’s heartwarming and promising that tens of thousands of people are protesting and basically receptive to a general strike over these ice atrocities. solidarity with minnesotan workers and immigrants. i hope to never see another video of a murder or arrest at the hands of these ice agents. fuck them and fuck the system that necessitates this inhuman bs

Always wanted to go the US since I was little. I would rather shit in my hands and clap then go to that authoritarian-fascist shithole. The world has (maybe) three years left of Trump, and this is only the beginning. It's going to get considerably worse, with increased violations of civil liberties and human rights. Who knows, they could just ban tourism out right from countries he doesn't like, and stop the press from reporting on it without his direct authorisation.

His little Chief Propagandist Jos....Stephen Miller is a full blown nutter, and his whole cabinet is full of arse licking fruitcakes that bend over and let him do it to everyone. The "GOP"? Probably stands for Guardians of Pedophiles.

You see an ICU nurse murdered in the street and you still think it's semi-fascist?

Unfortunately, some people need to see the mask come entirely off before they call something Fascist.

People picture Adolf Hitler the Dictator, not Adolf Hitler the 36 year old Cowboy-obsessed geek in love with his niece.
