ice, ice baby (abolish)

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

Keith Porter, Renee Good & Alex Pretti were murdered by the U.S. government.

We don’t just need to Abolish ICE.

We need to arrest the ICE agents who murdered them.

Allowing their killers to get away with murder will only embolden ICE & the U.S. government to keep murdering us.

🚨BREAKING: NEW footage shows ICE/Border Patrol agents holding both of the victim’s empty hands when they fire the first shot, in Minneapolis.

In the video, you can see the U.S. citizen’s hands in the front, being held by agents, empty.

An agent in grey appears to grab the U.S. citizen’s LEGAL firearm, that is holstered on his side, and runs back.

Once the U.S. citizen is unarmed, agents open fire on him.

To be clear about what this depicts: An immigration officer threw a woman onto the ground. Alex Pretti, a registered nurse on scene as a legal observer, is filming and goes to help the woman up. He is then pepper sprayed and thrown to the ground for no discernible reason. Many officer surround and assault him; one removes his firearm, which police say appears to have been legally registered. They then execute him with a hail of bullets.

They are, objectively speaking, both cowards and criminals, while Pretti is what we teach people an American ought to be.

Drop Site obtained harrowing footage of the latest killing which appears to be from the perspective of the woman in pink filming from the sidewalk

His Mother could barely stand tonight at his vigil. He was a girl dad. He was a friend to many. He was a Black Man and an American citizen.

ICE killed him on New Year’s Eve in LA.

His name was Keith Porter 🕊️

the thing about that “first they came for” poem is that we’re at least halfway through it, and it’s not a very long poem

For the record: cops aren't supposed to kill guilty people either.

[Books Behind Borders @MHTruthUltra]

If you’re clutching your pearls over the U.S. invading Venezuela, you might want to crack open a history book. We are the bad people, and we’ve always been the bad people. The U.S. has performed 80+ regime changes worldwide, resulting in the deaths of millions of civilians.

"Look at the psychology that is being forced upon us. We are, all of us, able to reach at night for an image of a child starving or a person being blown up in Gaza easier than reaching for a glass of water. And we are helpless. We are able to do nothing more than keep speaking about it.

And I’ve come to a stage where I feel humiliated to have to discuss it, because what is there to discuss? What is there to discuss when you’re murdering children, destroying hospitals, destroying universities, murdering journalists, and boasting about it, boasting about it? And everybody’s sort of ambiguous — I mean, what we are witnessing also is, I think, there are surveys that say that almost 90% of the population of the world wants this to stop, but there is no connection between democratically elected governments and the will of the people. It’s ended. So, the whole charade of Western liberal democracy is as much of a corpse under the rubble as the tens of thousands of Palestinians."

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Now the coverup is out in the open. This is far from over.

Everyone involved will have to answer for this. Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, whole admin.

Protecting a bunch of rapists and pedophiles because they have money, power, and connections.

Bondi should resign tonight.

Deputy AG Blanche just said the Trump DOJ will miss the Epstein files deadline.

He says "several hundred thousand" docs will be released today, "and then over the next couple weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more."

All files are required by law to be released today.

No one wants to hear this but our success as a nation rests on our commitment to literacy and education. You have to read to your kids. You have to make them passionate about reading. A society where the written word is no longer valued is already in eclipse.

it’s happening again. less than a year later Palestinians including children are dying of hypothermia again. again during one of their fake ceasefires. again and again and again.

I think you no longer have to convince people that we're living inside a massive & unprecedented mental health crisis & an AI/bot dystopia - any non-deranged person who logs onto a site like this & reads replies for 10 seconds instantly sees the insanity and derangement.
