“The solution is relatively simple ... just don’t go [to the shows].”

parasites in our vegetables, data centers poisoning the water, flock cameras being built on every block, ICE agents killing people left and right… fuck donald trump and anyone who voted for him
🚨This is exactly how ICE agents create the very situations they later use to justify murdering citizens.
In the video, they box in the vehicle of a U.S. citizen. They approach with guns already drawn, and try to open her car door… while repeatedly ordering her to unlock it, and ignoring anything she says.
And notice how they don’t identify themselves. They don’t explain why she’s being detained. They don’t tell her what crime they suspect her of committing.
To the person inside the car, it’s just a group of masked, armed men surrounding her vehicle and trying to force their way in.
That’s how panic starts.
And when people panic, move their car, or try to get away from what they reasonably perceive as a violent threat, ICE agents open fire, and later claim the vehicle was “used as a weapon.”
Law enforcement cannot detain people without legal justification. The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures, and officers are expected to clearly communicate their authority, and the basis for their actions.
They are supposed to de-escalate situations.
Instead, they use tactics to create fear and confusion… making it more likely someone will panic, and easier for agents to claim deadly force was necessary, while they violate the person’s constitutional rights.
When these tactics become standard practice, accountability becomes nonexistent.
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo called Houston home for 35 years. On Tuesday, an ICE agent shot and killed him. His family learned of his death from a video before anyone bothered to knock on their door.
New York City stands with the Salgado family in demanding a full, independent investigation and real accountability. To the Salgado family and any immigrant family in this city living in fear: we grieve with you and we will continue to stand beside you in the pursuit of justice.
Abolish ICE.
Flint Michigan didn’t have clean drinking water until last year after the crisis that happened in 2014. It took over a decade for the government to acknowledge those people suffering. They know what data centers will do to the environment. They don’t care.
