Cops and Klan go hand in hand
alot of hispanics and blacks are also in ice, guessing alot of people who have problems with being hired elsewhere, because they are SA-ers themselves, or Domestically violent people.
ICE was given $8 billion US to hire thousands more agents.
That is money well spent! I'm happy you US-americans really don't waste cash on stupid things like healthcare, a social net, homelessness and all those vile things only dirty commies want.
You shine like a glorious paragon for the rest of us unworthy 3rd-world-countries. Why can't we all be like you.
(Yes, I know you guys are not all brainless dookies. You have my condolences.)
wasnt it 10bn, and it was supported by DEMs too.
I don't know, but it sounds totally stupid, so it must be true.
They're getting like 30billion / year starting now. a private paramilitary for the rapist-in-chief. Link: Article
Fucking hell...this is...I don't know. And 25yrs ago I pondered about emigrating to the US. I'm so damn glad I didn't....
I'm skeptical of most white supremacists having the academic wherewithal to actually sit and read a 700-page book...
They share racist cliff notes.
At first glance, there may not appear to be anything unusual about the social media posts that are part of the ongoing recruitment drive by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
I am SO sick of this passive, milquetoast, normalized, way of reframing the obvious neo-Nazi fascism behind all this. The time for gentle warnings was like 20 years ago. Anyone who at this point still thinks there may not be "anything unusual about the social media posts" needs to have this knowledge urgently beaten into their head with an informational sledgehammer. This kind of gentle, mild, both-sides-ing concern farming is such a waste of breath it's hard to believe it's not intentional sandbagging.
"I think ICE is headed in the wrong direction in that they're attracting the wrong type of individual to be involved in a very serious mission that they have," he said.
You think so, David Lapan? So you think that's the "wrong type" of individual for their "very serious mission", huh... for fuck's sake you blithering idiot. The violent fascist brutality against people unprepared to fight back IS THE WHOLE POINT. That IS their mission and purpose now. Stop living in your idealistic outdated dreamland of what you always imagined these agencies are supposed to be for and start accepting the reality of what they are RIGHT NOW. You can't afford to keep delaying everyone's understanding of what is really going on here. And the people who ARE irresponsibly delaying it and softening it and dragging their feet about it, I think, maybe actually want it to succeed.

Like you said, don't say it in a milquetoast way. The corporate owned media aren't maybe doing interference for fascism, they are. They don't want to cause panic because that will hurt shareholder interests and make it harder for the rich to avoid the public's wrath for backing fascism.
The liberal establishment is also not being honest about how fucked things are because they don't want to admit they have no power anymore. Liberalism is dead and can only be rebuilt, not saved. They don't want to admit that it's dead because that might actually cause people to want to fix the problems that let this happen in the first place. At a fundamental level, they don't want to recognize that the myth of the American dream is what led to Trump. They don't want to admit that an ideology of privatization and free markets was the deathcult all the commies and anarchists told them it was.
America will never move forward until it is humbled; until the myths of American exceptionalism are dead and buried. The post Trump era will not be recovery unless people reject the desire to return to the past.
They haven't been subtle about it. Thanks, experts
LOL, "nodding to"?
nodding or "back and forth" movement.
Sign up from the comfort of your own lebensraum!
isn't it mostly that Trump armed his right wing goons from proud boys, 1% etc ?
The murderer that shot Renee Good had an off duty picture wearing a shirt that could have put him in that boogaloo group; but I guess not everyone wearing a Hawaiian shirt is a boogaloo. There’s just a big coincidence there.
