- Reposted by Alejandro SchulerCounterpoint: Democrats want ICE razed more thoroughly than Carthage in 146 BC, the ideological territory in which it operates salted so thoroughly it never grows again, and every single one of these goons in front of a judge to face justice for their crimes.

- oh no please don't do that it would totally own us
- Reposted by Alejandro SchulerAnd then finally, we need to be preparing for large-scale nation-wide protests if the election is stopped/compromised/violenced. Crucially, at that point, the groups that have been organizing need to be prepared to shift tactics from 'days of demonstrate' to 'stay in the streets until it is done.'

- Exactly. We keep hearing ".... but mah incentives!" No, fuck you, these people made a choice to allow unashamed evil to exist in exchange for cash, prestige, or power.

- Reposted by Alejandro SchulerJudge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.
- NEWS: Judge Biery has ordered the release of 5-year-old Liam Ramos. A thunderous rebuke against ICE’s violent campaign in Minnesota. Read the order below. Link: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

- Reposted by Alejandro Schuleri think this is exactly right. fascism is the Death Drive as ideology. it's why the catastrophic end of the Nazi Party does not deter people from worshipping Nazis. that the Nazis destroyed Germany along with the rest of Europe is part of the appeal.
- Reposted by Alejandro SchulerI cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

- Reposted by Alejandro SchulerCorporations are extracting billions from America’s safety net and their payday is about to be supercharged by new rules. I lay out how programs like Medicaid have become vulnerable to corporate capture and what we need to build to stop it. @lpeblog.bsky.social lpeproject.org/blog/the-mea...

- Reposted by Alejandro SchulerShe took a half step back and then stepped AT this dude. ICE needs 30 masked guys each with their own body armor and assault rifle to even approach this level of courage.
- Reposted by Alejandro SchulerLast week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong.

- Reposted by Alejandro SchulerThe officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.” The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

- Reposted by Alejandro SchulerWhat's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

- Reposted by Alejandro SchulerI would be very surprised if a full accounting in the future didn't reveal more than one mass grave at the detention centers. If they're behaving this way in public, what's happening out of sight must be many times more brutal.

- Reposted by Alejandro SchulerSeth Moulton is calling for ICE to be prosecuted in no uncertain terms. This is becoming a foundational political agreement for anyone seeing to oppose the regime. We need the broadest possible coalition all united about the necessity of caging these fucking monsters.

- Reposted by Alejandro SchulerIf this were happening in a Latin American country, ICE would simply be described as a death squad
- Reposted by Alejandro SchulerReminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

- Reposted by Alejandro SchulerI guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

- Reposted by Alejandro SchulerI cannot tell you how absolutely infuriatingly this stuff comes across to Europeans. When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.
- Reposted by Alejandro SchulerWhat is wild to me is the defense, BY THE NEURIPS BOARD, that fabricated citations do not mean "the content of the papers themselves [is] necessarily invalidated" It does. It very much does. What do you think citing other work is for? What do you think writing a paper is for? What do you *think*?

- Reposted by Alejandro SchulerIt is isolating and insanity inducing to be a Venezuelan in the exterior opposed to US intervention in Venezuela. To be accused of being unable to celebrate a victory, effectively of being a traitor, or collaborator, too ensconced in ideology to feel anything but misery at imperial misadventure
