Omar was calling for ICE to be defunded back in 2021 when Dems had power but the Biden administration wouldn’t listen. The Democratic party is useless right now but it isn’t her fault.

The only viable opposition party is deeply corrupt and doesn’t know how to campaign anymore

Hopefully “investigate” is just the professionally appropriate euphemism for “drafting an indictment”

Moving noncombatants to a more defensible location is not appeasement

I was thinking specifically of drone strike assassinations with bystander casualties nobody ever has to answer for but fair enough

They started lying in 2003

There’s some inaccurate initial reporting that keeps getting circulated, to wit - Renee was not a single mother, she was married, and her middle name was not Nicole.

Yesterday in the Middle East, today in Mexico, tomorrow in Minnesota

And scumbag liberals who ought to know better but keep compromising and collaborating with the fascists because they think it will get the angry assholes on their side

if you want to place our problems even close to the same level as the US situation

I don’t, no argument that the US is a total shithole right now. I’m literally just saying that vulnerable people are going to need places to flee to and basically every country on the planet makes that process far too difficult.

The rest of the world cannot help you.

Talk to your lawmakers about making it easier for people to obtain asylum

Beyond being terrified, it’s probably just the right thing to do from a strategic standpoint here. ICE has tried barging into schools and holding kids hostage as a way of getting at their parents before, so they probably should just transition to remote learning like it’s 2020 again until ICE fucks off.

e; and I say that knowing full well how much remote learning sucks for a lot of students and knowing what 2020 did to all the education statistics, but I don’t see a better way to keep people safe

*The whole Republican party is a Nazi terrorist death cult and needs to be treated as such

I also remember at least one case from LA where ICE chased someone on to a road where they were hit and killed by a vehicle, which ought to be felony murder imo

Will the Minnesota guard stand with Minneapolis by arresting every single ICE agent in their jurisdiction for conspiracy to commit murder?

If the job of protecting their communities is too tough for them they can quit, but if they like the badge and the pension and all the preferential treatment they get from people nows the time to earn it

Yeah, but giving them a direct order and having them defy it would be an illuminating moment for the general public to witness

If the Harris campaign cared about law enforcement violence they did a dogshit job of communicating it to anyone

Here’s to hoping at some point in the future we get candidates that won’t blow winnable races like her team did

If she caught a head injury from that bus it’s possible the behavior that led to her conviction was related

This podcast (arc) has an absolutely fascinating interview with a Latino Trump supporter who used to vote for Dems because he wanted them to give amnesty to undocumented immigrants but when that never happened he became disillusioned, and in the meantime businesses in his neighborhood were illegally dumping their trash and the Democratic city government just picked it up and never tried to ticket the owners owners, so this guy convinced himself that we needed a Republican government because he believed they were a tougher political party that would hold those businesses accountable.
