The LAPD and the LASD are known gang organizations with openly racist and abusive practices, tattoo markers, rites of initiation, etc. If you thought prison/police abolition was a stretch, *this* is what we were talking about.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

And Rufo saying *THIS WEEK* that they needed to use unmarked vans to take progressive leaders off the streets normalizes the violent unaccountability. This is exactly what he’s been trying to incite.

When Stephen Miller gave the orders to ICE to conceal identity, Miller helped get these elected officials shot. He’s complicit in these attacks. Impeach, remove, prosecute, imprison.

Two important things to note: 1) the most significant violence we’ve seen this year was not against ICE or Trump or members of his administration, but against Democrats 2) when ICE scoffs at people asking for warrants or for identification, THIS IS WHY THEY ASK www.fox9.com/news/melissa...

I have always, always, always wanted to meet a King or Queen so I can say, for example, "Hello, Mr. Windsor." In the fantasy somebody corrects me, "it's Your Majesty blablabla," and I get to say "oh I know what you want me to call him but I'm from the US, not doing that is kind of our whole deal."

people are shot and might die, so I'm embarrassed my thoughts go here, but: this is a make or break moment for Walz as a Presidential potential if he doesn't treat this as a political assassination that endangers our whole system of government, what else will he let slide? kstp.com/kstp-news/to...
