Know what would energize the Democratic Party's base? Seeing their NY-based Congressional leadership in NYC alongside these locals. I am sure the consultants are telling Jeffries and Schumer not to do that. I an also sure the consultants need to be fired and never hired again.

So, what about it, Hakeem and Chuck? What about demonstrating some passion in leadership? America doesn't like what ICE is doing. Prove that you're willing to go to the mat to oppose it.

I'm dreaming about solitary confinement for Trump and all his enablers.

Q: How repulsive is Sir?

A: Sir is so repulsive that Atlantic Hurricanes veer away from Florida's East Coast just to avoid contact with the Omelet Stand at Mar-uh-Lego.

I thought NYC was a sanctuary city. Dunno.

Sanctuary cities shouldn't be allowing the local PD to arrest. Let the ICE goons try it. ICE didn't arrest those protesters, the PD did.

I fucking hate these goons (to clarify - not the peaceful protesters but the ass holes arresting them). It makes me sad that I have so much hate in me for them. What I really want to say would get me the ban hammer so I'll stop at this.

It's very very ugly.

And it really matters who is in the White House, Never forget this. None of these atrocities would be happening under a Harris administration. None of this would happen with Democratic control of Congress, to a point of an impeachment+removal-sized majority.

So the work has to be done for 2026 let's be sure to mount up. And people are going to have to do what they can to overcome suppression. Start the registration step now if you can.

And again I am not saying send money, people hate sending money. Just do the thing in November, both in 2025 and 2026.

"The goon squads have been at it for about two weeks now, and they’re calling it “Operation Midway Blitz,” "

It's second nature for you to use operational titles that adopt Nazi themes?

You are probably a Nazi.

The Blitzkrieg wasn't a planned military tactic. It was a meth binge.

Another one of ICE's 'criminals' Sikh single parent, now grandmother, worked making saris and paid taxes for the last 20 years, always came to the immigration check-ins, was arrested the last time she showed up for a check-in: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgq63lgn7zo, would rather die than remain in custody :(

I done did it. I reported Senator Bernie Moreno, a Columbian national, to ICE for taking a job that rightfully belongs to a white American.

They want to set up an ICE training center at Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri. That's where my dad was sent after being drafted in 1943, and he would be turning over in his grave if he hadn't been cremated.

That lady in the top photo should sue for sexual assault, cause that cop is grabbing her breast. A friend of a friend went to prison for accidentally touching the breast of a teenage girl in a swimming pool that he was swimming past. It really was an accident because the guy wears thick glasses and can't see shit when he's swimming (same as me) and he has zero interest in teenage girls, but he's now a sex offender for the rest of his life because of a malicious prosecutor and a stupid jury.

I've been angry since I was 5 and they forced me to go to school, and I have no intention of stopping being angry now. I always thought "I'm really angry" would make a good carving on my tombstone. If not that, then a paraphrase of a Shakespeare sonnet that goes "Do not mourn for me when I am dead, But tell this wicked world that I have fled."

"Even though Trump [sic] has so far backed off his threat to invade Chicago with National Guard and active-duty military troops"

I wonder if one yuge reason is that Mayor Johnson and Gov Pritzker has made it abundantly clear that the local and state laws will be enforced against any illegal activities by active duty military or National Guard tasked with picking up cigarette butts. Since any crime committed will be either local or state, the Fulvous Fuckwad can't float pardons for actions he demands, and Pritzker is a Dem so I doubt he'll be inclined to pardon any ICEholes.

"ICE agents violently attacked protesters outside a detention facility in the Chicago suburb of Broadview, and were captured on video slamming Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh, 26, to the pavement"

* Any interference with ICEholes carrying out unconstitutional raids will be considered a federal crime of "assaulting" federal officers, like Rep LaMonica McIver.

* The throwing of Ms Abughazaleh to the ground should be considered a warning to anyone with the audacity to stand in the way of the Halloween Orange Hemorrhoid's agenda. Standing up to these shitheads is a direct doubt of their machismo:

> 🎵"Do you feel like a man when you push her around?

Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?"🎵 "Face Down" Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

* The ICEholes responsible for committing violence against Ms Abughazaleh should expect to see either a promotion and/or a bonus, she's Palestinian-American. The fact that her mother is a seventh generation Texan is immaterial, she's still Palestinian!

“It’s pretty despicable, but we will continue do what we’re doing, whether it be in Chicago, Los Angeles, Memphis or New York.” (DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin)

* Yes, the illiberal actions by those serving the current regime are despicable. Oh, wait... I think she was referring to the "rioters" and not her own kind.

* Keep on keepin' on with the raids. Every one of them leads to more Americans feeling disgust, no, revulsion at what the Deep Saffron Dipstick is doing to America, at least IMO. The number of people taking to the street in protest is approaching 1% of everyone in the US. (One percent might not sound like many but we're not talking thousands or tens of thousands, but millions.)

"where conditions for arrested immigrants are so bad that a federal judge on Wednesday ordered DHS to limit the number of people held, provide adequate food and clean conditions, and to ensure detainees’ access to attorneys."

It's a sad state of affairs when a judge has to tell the government that they have to provide basic human rights and follow laws engraved in the Constitution. But then again, what else would you expect from the party of law and order? "Habeas Corpus and due process? What the fuck are they, and what do they have to do with exporting violent criminals?"
