This was in a trap messaging bill that was actually about condemning Colorado attacks. In fact this Fox article perfectly shows both sides of the trap, one of which you’re falling into
It’s still a trap if you react to it. They’d rather see and promote the bold top part, but they’re perfectly happy if youre a lefty who reacts and poop themselves about the bottom side
Yes, exactly. You sign onto the bill to condemn the Colorado attacks you get wacked from
The left for “applauding ICE”. If you vote against the bill bc you don’t want to “applaud ICE” you get wacked from the center/right for not condemning the attacks.
It works because the of the oversimplification and amplification of the media. Republicans have figured out Americans have no attention span and are not interested in processing nuanced information.
Not that odd if you recall her dad was one of the biggest trial lawyers in LA in his day IIRC, and the family is of Armenian descent so decent chance there’s an awareness of historical oppression & injustice that gets passed down in the family even as they become crazy rich.
Whose statement is this more anti-ICE than? Guaranteed if this exact statement came from a Dem yall would be saying it’s mealy mouthed feckless poll tested consultant approved blah blah blah
Never said it was a “good” statement, just saying it’s better than what some Dems are saying
70-ish Dems just recently voted for praising ICE, even with all this shit going on 🤷
The Kardashians are masters of monetizing with the changing winds. Given their hard turn to Americana/ MAGA aesthetics over the last two years or so it’s actually a relief to see this. I think the grifters are a bellwether of broader public sentiment so something is changing.
Does she still have that one or those robots from Elon?
Who did she support last year during the election season? I find that whole crew to be performative. Yeah, get the word out that ICE ain't shit but still… 🧐
Donald Trump is only a second generation immigrant himself for fucks sake
Idiotic country, idiotic culture, extremely dangerous politics, extremely cucked ‘Free Press’ that literally kick the balls of the movement that joked a few years ago about The Day of the Rope
She doesn’t want to loose the undocumented Latino housekeeper she pays $6 an hour in one of the upcoming ICE raids. I mean, do you know how hard it is to find a housekeeper who works all the time for no wages and who will tolerate being treated like dirt?
Ok, I really dont care if you say, "attacking immigrants is wrong" while you help promote the car company of one of the guy's making all of this possible.
Maybe we should stop acting like her shallow words are worthwhile when taken in greater context of what she supports.
Oh, ok, well currently, Im dealing with fascists propagandizing my society, in collaboration with the richest man on earth, and Im not really into anyone who helps that man, in any way.
So, Kim can take her shallow words and go fuck herself. 🤷
This reads to me less like "abolish ICE" and more like "make it so I can believe ICE is good again". It's better than being MAGA, but I don't really see why people are giving her so much credit for this.
I don’t want to overdo praise for the Kardashians, but Kim’s dad was for awhile a trial lawyers in LA, a group that trends very liberal, & her grandparents came to the US as Armenian refugees. She’s got a law degree and has been involved with The. Innocence Project for years now.
But seriously with all this hand wringing over tactics, this is representative of how I've noticed that this situation has activated normies and mutuals on insta in ways I haven't seen yet this admin.
Haven’t seen stats on this (maybe someone of Armenian descent can help fill me in), but wouldn’t be surprised if the Armenian American population leans left for the same reason as our Jewish population does. Her grandparents were immigrants, possibly refugees (cont)
She doesn't have a law degree, she completed a "unique to California and one other state" process called "reading law" where she apprentices under a practicing lawyer directly. I believe she's supposed to take the bar exam when it is next offered, which I think is in July.
Whether she has a degree or passes the bar or not though, she has been a public supporter of various prison reform efforts which is good. Her statement about the ICE actions in LA is good.

It’s wacking Dems all the way down
This is a "if only [Dear Leader] knew" post.

This is social media.
This is good news -- it probably shouldn't make us reflexively angry!
Who did she support last year during the election season? I find that whole crew to be performative. Yeah, get the word out that ICE ain't shit but still… 🧐
Of this. She is partly to blame.

ICE to kidnap people?!
SCULLY: "So we should arrest David Copperfield?"
MULDER: "Yes we should. But not for this."

Two examples of this today.
So seeing her say this isn’t really surprising and doesn’t scan as clearly cynical, so whatevs: Yeah, Kim!
