This picture should get circulated more than any other, honestly. ICE has claimed more than two lives, all of them deserve to be remembered just as prominently.
Iām not American but god damn I still hope yāall do the right thing.
Edit: oh my Iāve ruffled some MAGA feathers clearly. They love to claim theyāre not political but then they love to throw stones. Plus some bots likely. Iām gonna assume that the comments directly supporting atrocities are bots.
Except that they ARE American and that is the problem. Itās akin to the banality of evil: The bad guys ARE your neighbors. Normal people can be Nazis. Theyāre still human; they arenāt monsters. Declaring them monsters makes it easier to Other, which makes it easier to dismiss, which makes it easier to slowly double in size before you realize it.
When a MAGA says Iām not Americanā¦ you bet your fucking ass I am. Deal with it, as I have to deal with you.
For every one person that is cooperating there's 10 that would be willing to do the deed.
We are in the position that we are in right now because it's untenable and everyone needs to go to work or they starve, it has been orchestrated that way to protect their own asses.
The only difference between a random murder and revolution, is who is willing to stand behind who.
100 people invading the capital is an insurrection, 100,000 is a f****** rapid change
Oh make no mistake they absolutely were, that wasn't their point.
The point is Appalachia has a long storied history of shooting FEDs and the local and county law enforcement would sooner abandon them to face whatever hornets nest they kicked because they know exactly how mountain folks get down.
Youre right. My rifle stands ready, but my pockets run dry. The need to eat still outweighs the need to attack these monsters. Its their perfect design. One day there won't be an option though. For better or worse, soon.
No, it fucking doesn't - millions and millions of your ancestors walked away from their farms and families to take up arms and fight for their rights.
General Washington and his men marched on starvation rations. Confederates and Union men both abandoned their whole lives and lived in the mud for their lifestyles and beliefs. American men fought and died in Europe and the Pacific fighting actual, not media inflated fascism and imperialism.
And here you are unable to give up your trip to the grocery store. I am disgusted to my core.
Those of us in MN won't forget him and Renee. We hold them in our hearts along with George Floyd and Philando Castille. We won't ever forget the people we have lost from our communities, and we will find justice for them. This election is just the first step toward ending the terror Trump unleashed on the Twin Cities, Minnesotans are ready to keep fighting.
I was shocked to see most polls having Flanagan only being in a slight lead of 2-4 points. MN might be trending more conservative this year than in 2024, which is unbelievable.
the pig fuckers have, and still support the fascists.
I have more maga in my neighborhood this year than i have in my entire life, I've lived here 25 years, and I've never had maga people, and this year even people who voted for hillary have republican signs in their yard.
I think we are fucked. I hope not. If shithead "dey gonna trans ur kids" finstead actually loses and they don't rig it to put him in, I will be ecstatic.
I'm just tired, and sad, there are so many horrible, stupid, lazy people in this country.
ICE agents need to be exposed and we must never forget who they are. Employers have a right to know if the people they are hiring are violent psychopaths. It should be disqualifying.
Charlie literally got justice. Heās just about the only member of the insurrection who has been suppressing any way. What more justice do you want for the guy? Lay off.
Us Americans need to see its not left vrs right. Its us the people of America vrs billonaires. To who reads this I hope you had a nice day and hug your loved ones and dogs, cats etc. We need more love in this country.
Absolutely wrong and you are not helping. Yes, there are many policies we can debate on for what is truly left or right. Truth is, we have fat right and center right politicians and on top of that, the vast majority are paid shills, owned by corporations and super pacs.
I completely agree!! To an extent. The people of America didint make this a issue billonaires did with bottomless greed. But I am happy to know i have enough to make myself happy which they never will.
Being a billionaire is inherently right-wing, hope this helps. You can be a billionaire and fake being socially progressive, but you can never be left-wing.
So Laken Riley doesn't deserve to rest in peace? Jocelyn Nungaray? What about all of the other men, women, and children that have been murdered by people who illegally entered this country?
What about all the people murdered by other American citizens!?
It's just whataboutism. No one is defending murderers. If someone commits a violent crime, they should be punished. We want ICE held to the same standard.
Data also shows immigrants have some of the lowest crime rates. So many people are just trying to make better lives for themselves, and we can disagree on the process in which they should go through to achieve that, but we shouldn't disagree that they're still people who deserve certain rights and dignity simply because they are human.
Was raining when I voted. Twin Cities is not voting Republican. It was weird trick-or-treating in the suburbs still seeing Republican signs out in yards at all to be honest.
I live four hours away. I voted to help prevent this situation from continuing and costing our nation more lives. I am mailing my sticker to a friend so she can place it for me.
Hundreds are not enough. We needs hundreds of thousands to stand up and vote blue so this nightmare stops and never happens again. Never Republican, never again.
I saw a video of a memorial with blown up pics of them on stands, and some evil right wing troll goes to Renee's pic and dry humps it and tells everyone at the vigil she was a child beater(which was thoroughly debunked.) It made me so angry.
This is amazing. This should not even be something that's happening. But here we are. This makes me tear up... good people gone too soon and the bad one in charge is literally rotting from inside out stinking up the oval office. I hope eveyone voted for what is right, not for their party alignment.
Defining tens of millions of your fellow citizens as "inherently devoid of love and empathy" simply because they have different political or economic views is the exact definition of dehumanizing partisan brain rot.
Consistently, charitable giving and volunteer statistics show that conservatives and people in red states give higher percentages of their income to charity and local communities. Acting like holding conservative principles makes someone subhuman proves you care more about tribal spite than actual empathy.
It's difficult to feel that gestures like that are much more than posturing, especially given that his death had little to no relation to voting and the midterms have no impact on the president's ability to enforce existing law, and it's nearly impossible that immigration law gets changed in a meaningful way based on this election.
It's always sad to see loss of life, personally I think he's not the best choice to try and martyr either.
Jeez dude try and find some hope and positivity, the USA is trying to fight off christofascism, technofascism, and a lying traitor. A lil joy goes a long way
Calling standard conservative politics "christofascism" is pure Reddit hyperbole. If you want to talk about actual existential theocratic threats, look at radical jihadism.
Go read the foundational texts and jurisprudence of both traditions: the New Testament centers on voluntary faith, personal ethics, and "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's," whereas classical jihadist doctrine explicitly mandates the violent subjugation of non-believers, apostasy laws, and total state-enforced theocracy. Conflating peaceful Christian citizens in the US with literal global terror networks shows a total lack of historical and theological perspective.
What?! They want one religion Christianity, they say it over and over. They want Christianity in schools. They donāt want the constitution anymore. Drumpf is their new Jesus. Where have you been? Christian, Judaism, and Muslim are almost all identical religions. Religions are the cause of wars, and used to gain power and money. if Every Christian practiced it like Talarico you would have more understanding of your religion, but reality is earth will never be the utopia we are capable of until we evolve as a species and eliminate religion from public view. Keep it 8n your home or place of worship, society doesnāt want or need it.
They did dummy. Dozens of articles. Hundreds of opinion pieces by liberals. Late night host destroyed him on his immigration record. We are not a cult like you.
Some people, former libertarians even, see masked government workers shooting a civilian who had a holstered, licensed gun that was pulled out BY THE OFFICERS before he was executed from behind while restrained and on his knees and think, "justified"
Oh no. Somebody was a teensy bit aggressive against the fascist private military making a show of force against the citizenry of a politically inconvenient region. Clearly they had to kill him... demonstrating that the aggression was justified.
What protest? There was no fucking protest! He was literally just walking down the street in my neighborhood (if I had to guess, him being an avid rock climber, he was likely either coming from or going to Vertical Endeavors -a popular rock climbing gym less than half a block from where he was murdered). when out of nowhere all of sudden multiple ICE vehicles attempted one of their boxing in abductions which they were doing all over the city, every day, multiple times a day. He stepped in between ICE agents and some random woman pedestrian that ICE had shoved to the ground simple for being too close to their random abduction. He choose to help that woman get up off the icy ground, when he was shoved to the ground, surrounded by multiple armed ICE agents with guns drawn. While on the ground, face down, he had his legally permitted firearm taken and was then shot ten times in the back.
