- This company sucks, even before election denial their catalogs always had a little editorial at the end expressing the dumbest position you could imagine.
- Reposted by Jim MetcalfSee, the “immigration crisis,” “border emergency” etc - it’s 100% made up. There is NO crisis except panicked, violently racist white people. That’s it. All this suffering and death is caused by that and only by that. The rest is bullshit: an excuse to grab power by a white supremacist regime.

- Reposted by Jim MetcalfPeople are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

- Reposted by Jim MetcalfKristi Noem and her department’s latest attempt to mislead the American public regarding the brutal and unjustified killing of Alex Pretti is deeply shameful, and she must be impeached and removed from office immediately.
- Reposted by Jim MetcalfVoting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

- Reposted by Jim MetcalfToday I'm remembering Philando Castile, shot in 2016 by police in the Minneapolis suburbs after being pulled over for a broken brake light. "Sir, I have to tell you that I do have a firearm on me," he said. Ten seconds later one of the cops had shot him five times. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing...
- Reposted by Jim MetcalfThere were six or seven agents, trying to harm a man who looks unarmed and still they murdered him in broad daylight. These ICE agents are venal, incompetent, cowardly and this type of execution will keep on happening because they are an unchecked paramilitary force of scared men who crave power.
- Reposted by Jim Metcalf7 Democrats — with the blessing of Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic leadership — just voted with Republicans to give these agents even more money

Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

- Reposted by Jim MetcalfI am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.
