More ICE Killings

[mnaz]

Blows my mind how some people are still defending this. Un. Real. (If only it weren't real.)

[saw]

in my mind the common thread is Fear
those defending ICE are afraid of everything
immigrants, homosexuals, being empathetic their shadow
you name it they are scared shitless
they live in a state of constant fear
which is a paralyzing neurosis

[mnaz]

I keep reading:
"They're just doing their job."
"Don't interfere with them."
"Just following orders."

it's ironic, is it not,
that those we most need protection from
are so often the very ones tasked
to do just that

[Doreen Peri]

I have a hard time accepting that this is happening in our country.

It is happening. And I don't believe for a second that it will stop in November - but I fervently hope that it will disrupt the machinery enough to allow repairs to start. I don't have a great deal of faith in the traditional Democratic leadership, though some of the newcomers seem promising; and if the choices are ineffectual bumbling vs. naked fascism & shameless venality, I'll go with bumbling.

To the Jim Jordans, the Ted Cruzes, the Paul Gosars, et al: Get your resumes in order. And if I were you, I wouldn't include the last 10 years in my list of accomplishments.
