I am doing my best to respond to this without a string of expletives.

So are the seven collaborator Democrats that recently voted to continue funding. They need to be put up against the same wall.

As I write this, I see the jackboots are already suggesting that the victim had a gun. Srsly? He was pinned to the ground. And you know who else had a gun? George Zimmerman. Don't tell me you can shoot a kid with a bag of skittles but you should trust a fat dude with an ICE badge and a face mask.

Finally, if you think they wouldn't shoot you in a heartbeat because - I dunno, you're a white dude, or you voted for this - you are deluding yourself. They don't give a damn about any American. They know that the walls are closing in and are petrified about the accountability that will come.

@SeanCasten The correct framing here is they were not policing an agitator, they were gang assaulting a victim. Instead of controlling his extremities, as a police officer would have, they are pistol whipping and kicking him. Even if he did have a gun, at that point he was justified in defending himself with it, and never would have been able to had they been doing an actual job, instead of trying to instigate a murder and a riot.

The vast majority of Americans are good people who don't tolerate this. The mass protests in MN yesterday, the collapsing poll numbers, the decency scares them. They are shooting their way out and don't care who they hit.

What they deserve was outlawed in the middle ages. But make no mistake: accountability will come as long as our democracy survives because nothing they are doing can stand a free and fair election. Keep protesting. Keep filming. Stay patriotic. We've still got the numbers.

@SeanCasten it's worse there today, now

@SeanCasten aided and abetted? My dude. They’re the one giving the orders.

@SeanCasten we just need to be and stay AWAKE AWARE AND VISIBLE

@SeanCasten Legalities are a bureaucratic nicety, if the Law doesn't reflect what is RIGHT to do.

If we stick to their claimed rules, while they don't we are doomed. We stick to OUR rules. Do what is decent of others, do unto evil ones exactly what they deserve.

A man was tackled, a magazine was emptied into him, unnecessarily. A woman was murdered for driving away. Families are torn apart.

There is NOTHING that is ugly or harsh enough done to MAGAt gestapo that is too much.

@SeanCasten

Democrats in the house had the power to reject funding. They are complicit. Do not give them a pass!

@SeanCasten also corrupt SCOTUS who essentially gave Trump permission to do whatever.

@SeanCasten I appreciate that you show some emotion and humanity in you posts, rather than just putting out a dry, official statement over each terrible thing happening in the country.

@SeanCasten

I fixed it.

@SeanCasten just FYI, Jonathan Ross was 18 year ICE agent, firearms trainer, etc. There is no excuse besides ICE is a criminal organization.

@SeanCasten I want to hear about subpoenas. Of personnel records. Every one of these agents known and listed for testimony the moment Dems gain control.

I want to know Dems will be ready to act immediately. And I want those agents to know they will be held accountable the instant their protectors are gone.

@SeanCasten
According to the NYT / Sienna poll from last week, only 63% of U.S. registered voters disapprove of “how ICE is handling its job”. I suppose in modern politics that counts as “vast majority”… But it is disheartening that 24% “strongly approve”.

I’m worried that with such numbers of people who can see what is happening in Minnesota and not be totally outraged, that this will never stop.

@SeanCasten
I am shocked and saddened by what happend.
The world is watching you all, don't allow the fascists to win.
And don't believe they don't have plans that go far beyond all that.
Question: why does Trump need to build a data center and bunker underneath the"ball room", which by now is pretty obviously what he is really doing?

We are feeling with you all, watching the shit show the US has become is hard to do, but the passion and courage of the people is heartening

@SeanCasten Yup. Said as it is. This should really create a mandate on the US public to force eviction of the deeply deeply corrupt Trump. And a clean out of the whole system.

Political systems are, strange to realise, public systems intended to serve all. Yet they get commandeered by vested interests in every country to one degree or other. In the US, the degree is deep into Fascist territory.

@Bahnya @SeanCasten Not a single Democrat in either the House or Senate voted for the BBB, which funded this nightmare. GFY, which seems to be the only useful use of your time.
