    Not hard to read between the lines on this one, and imagine the depraved, vile things happening in their ICE camps.

    They’ve hired legit white nationalists, nazi, and proud boys. No background checks.

  3. Thirty_Helens_Agree on

    Is this the one where they put a gun to his head and asked “you scared now?” or was that a different priest they abused?

  4. Waiting for some radical person to start shooting at ice agents. Only a matter of time at this point unfortunately.

  5. The entire world is massively underreacting to what’s happening in Minnesota. This is it, the Big One. Every single chud you saw at the Capitol is here with $70 billion worth of gear and tech. And nobody will do anything, we’re all just like going to work otherwise we’ll miss rent hope they don’t get me lol what the actual fuck

    > Callaghan said he joined in as a crowd chanted, “We are not afraid,” and tried to redirect attention toward himself, telling the agents to arrest him instead of the [“brown skinned”] woman [he and others] were surrounding.

    > “Before I knew it, they were putting handcuffs on my arms and they asked me, ‘Are you afraid now?’ ” he recalled. [They asked more than once]

    Later he describes their so called ‘protection’ as sport. And that remark about him being ‘no fun’ because he’s white was the self-aware racist cherry on top.

  7. In other words, ICE knew he was a citizen, they had no legal reason to hold him, and knew his congregation would hire lawyers to free him.

  8. There were so many off-ramps the Republicans could have taken with Trump. The most appropriate one would have been when Trump proposed banning one of the world’s major religions from America. They also could have chosen when Trump started his racist scapegoating and lying about Mexicans. I think that was chronologically after he was talking about administering government religious checks. We had the access Hollywood tape where Trump’s rapist tendencies were exposed from his own mouth. There were the actual rape and sexual assault cases too. There was the Mueller report and all of the associated crimes and Russian collusion. There was the electoral college coup scheme. The gross mishandling of COVID. And I’m only scratching the surface with all of that. Even today, after Trump has been exposed as one of Jeffrey Epstein’s pedophile best friends, the Republicans are unable to find a person who better represents them! Imagine having free will and using it to deify Donald Trump, a man whose name will be found alongside Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Putin in history books.

  9. [First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me](https://hmd.org.uk/resource/first-they-came-by-pastor-martin-niemoller/).

    Written by Catholic Priest Martin Niemoller, who was a supporter of the Nazi party, until he sheltered Jews in his church and refused to turn them over because it’s a religious sanctuary. They had him sent to a concentration camp.

  10. Crazy that America has a president-appointed roving gang of thugs who are the most depraved and psychotic individuals in society. This will not end well.

  11. If this country makes it through this, our courts will be backed up for the next decade prosecuting these fucking fascists.

    The stories of what we will hear in a few years at what goes down once they got you will probably be haunting. Fuck these people

  13. If anyone was wondering why we haven’t seen or heard anything from the Proud Boys, 3%, OathKeepers, etc, it’s because THEY ARE THE ICE AGENTS. they were given a $100k, a gun and federal immunity to round up as many non-white people they can, no surprise ICE agents are saying shit like this.
