  1. UN speaks up about the US crackdown on Friday. Saturday, today, ICE proceeds to kill a legal observer.

  2. lol we can’t even uphold our own constitution

    ICE is violating every amendment on a daily basis

  3. Lmao. Trump said himself he doesn’t need or follow international law. Only HIS morality guides him. That is scary.

    Why aren’t people listening to what this mango mussolini says. The writing is on the wall, people. Stop being afraid to call it what it is: the emergence of a authoritarian or dictator regime with immense economic and military power. It is happening.

  4. Yeah Well great for the UN to speak out, but they won’t listen at this point. VETO-Rights kicks in anyway 🎉

    UN is basicly dead right now. It was dying, but now it’s plain dead.

    Trump’s foreign policy is the direct reflection of his domestic policy .

    “Obey Us or we will crush you because we can “.

    The way things are happening inside US , ICE literally trampling it’s citizens left right and center with impunity , no consequence because they can they have the power

    The same way externally they are threatening to destroy economies ,takeover countries, take down governments with impunity because they can.

    Sorry, we’re well beyond this.

    People are going to have to pick a side soon… This Trump administration or others.

    I know which side I stand very firmly on, prepare accordingly.

    I think it’s important to point out that the US does not recognize the ICC, and regularly violates the Geneva Convention when cracking down on civil unrest

  8. It’s way past upholding law. The criminal mafia goons of the White House are breaking it on a daily basis.

  9. >It seems that every day we’re reminded that we live in an era of great power rivalry. That the rules-based order is fading. That the strong can do what they can, and the weak must suffer what they must.

    I just watched a man get executed for recording the SS. Idk how much Trump is going to listen.

    but trump doesn’t follow international law, federal, or state law!
    he goes by his morales, above international law, remember?

  13. Lol .. international law is nothing but pointless hot air without enforcement power. Heck, we already have a constitution, and state laws. I say go with those first.

    Don’t worry, everyone. We all know how much this administration values the input of the UN.

    My country is so fucked.

    The Trump administration is no different from the Iran regime in killing citizens at random without having to bear any responsibilities right now. ICE is the equivalent of the Revolutionary Guard of Iran.

  16. Organisations like the UN or ICC can’t hold countries like the US to account, everybody knows this, Mark Carney may have eloquently made this point recently but it’s not new information, we have always known it.

    I don’t say this to shit on the UN, at least they are highlighting it. I’m just pointing it out so its very clear.. the only people who can actually hold the US Government to account are Americans and thus it’s no surprise that the people the US Government are currently shooting/killing/detaining, are the Americans who are trying to do that.

  17. Seeing as there’s war reporters from the UK in Minneapolis right now it’s only fitting the UN would get involved as well. Good timing after a man was litterally executed in the street today.

    When the fuck are people going to wake up and do something.

  18. Americans are going to sit and watch while their human rights are taken away hoping it’ll only be others who suffer.

  19. Not that anything would happen but you never know. Even though Trump can’t be charged for crimes while in presidential duties he can still be arrested if he is wanted for breaking international law and be arrested when leave US after he leaves office. But we can only dream

    If you are an ICE agent you are a dickless worthless piece of trash devoid of humanity.

  21. Independent_Prize453 on

    We now just murder our own people in The streets..ya think this administration gives a flying fornication about immigration

    Why even bother UN? Just kick them out and start treating them like a hostile nation already, they’re beyond caring what you have to say. Time for some action.

  23. UN has a history of doing nothing when violations of human rights happen. Cambodia, Rwanda, Sudan, Iran just to name a few.

    They are about as good as American politicians who also do nothing but say a speech and write a stern letter.
