every time I watch one of these videos I just don’t understand it
how do you do this, as a human being
how is anyone capable of being an ICE agent doing this shit day after day and then going home to their own kids

Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.”
Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing?
There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?

And they're assholes to the core of their beings!!!
Seeing news saying bye honey have a nice day? Are you kidding me?
Complete disassociation that the people suffering are people like them. They might start to see it when the fascism inevitably gets to them and they start to suffer.
They voted for this shit.
Fuck them. I don't want them in my life.
And everything not white, fundie Christian, straight and rich (and preferably male) is the enemy.
This is how totalitarian regimes maintain their support.
This evil crap has been building a while, and sadly people normalized it.
Hitler was good to his dog.
The most evil people can still exhibit caring, even kindness. Whatever is broken in humanity that permits this compartmentalization is how they can hug their kids and sleep well.
You know each of those people has a life you dont know. You treat them with respect, kindness.
You know how I was treated as one of those workers by their types?
Like my life only existed to serve them.
I was an NPC to them.
There’s this line that stuck with me from The Handmaid’s Tale:
then you make it real.”
That’s my ¢2 at least
I merely posted on another platform that "No human is illegal. Treat everyone humanely." I was told my comment was "nonsensical" among other things.
Trying to act like the ones making their burger at McDonald’s they drive to several times a week don’t deserve humanity. Not this. How can you be for this!?
This is domestic terrorism, plain and simple.
These ICE agents need to be arrested and sent to Guantanamo.
just broken scared people
cognitive dissonance / soullessness is a hell of a drug
I really can't think of any other explanation.
Some people are just evil.
Okay, maybe "mostly well intentioned but flawed in the way humans generally are" vs. evil.
-one conversation with a stranger a day
-smile and say hi to most of the people I pass by casually
-scan the headlines for awareness
-focus on what I can control: how I volunteer my time, talent, and treasure
-believe in the ripple effect
-love as best I can.
And it helps keep me from crumbling and spiralling.
If you see it happening, do what you can to stop them. Make it difficult.
They cannot do this any other way? Come on 🤬😤
The power is everyone's, together. Physically, together.
Complete lack of humanity. Or more probably, dehumanization of anyone not looking like them.
I have a friend who is state police who justified all this by saying “This wouldn’t have to happen if Biden did his job. Step aside and let the real men clean up the mess you made.”
So, if they DO have families then those families are just about guaranteed to be disasters.
They've willingly & wilfully abandoned even the faintest pretext of a moral compass in pursuit of their master's wishes.
Just joyfully collaborating with racist neo-fascist elites.
No decent person should associate with any ICE (or the ICE adjacent).
