White House: Turns Out People Think ICE Kinda Sucks

You can check to see if your congressional rep has endorsed impeaching Kristi Noem over the military-style occupation. Note that this is only updated once per day, and there is at least one congrasman who signed on since the last update. [John Garamendi]

Spoiler alert: it's only Democrats

Well yeah, Republicans don't think that they're subject to the jurisdiction of the United States

but not my shitty dem rep. I have to send him another email reminding him which letter is next to his name and what being legislator is.

Small relief - don’t have to contact my rep cause she’s on the cosponsor list.

Contact them anyways to show support for them doing this. Make sure the hate voices aren't the loudest that they hear.

"... [T]here's the right way to do this. And this doesn't look like the right way to a lot of people."

I'm not sure there is.

ICE's aggressive tactics are dominating the news and obscuring the White House's work on cost-of-living issues that congressional Republicans, Trump and his team see as more important.

I don't even know what the narrative any more. For a long time the affordability thing was a hoax. Then it wasn't a hoax but they already solved it. Now they're back to working on it?

Don't kid yourself, they've graduated from narratives. When was the last time a republican told you a story?

These days they just openly do evil shit and occasionally, in passing, say a word like "fentanyl" to remind their followers to be afraid and obedient.

The "right way" to do it was how Obama and Biden did it, so they definitely can't be doing that.

Fascists aren't people. If they refuse to act like humans, they shouldn't be treated like humans

And some assholes remembered it and are trying to one-up last time

The oldest of the wwii vets have all but passed away, and with them, the reality of fascism has passed from living memory. Kind of the same way we are living through the rise of aristocracy during a new gilded age

It's quite sad. My great-grandfather was in the Motstandsbevegelsen in occupied Norway during the war. I can only imagine what he'd think of today's world...

Both of my grandfathers fought the fascists in WWII, I’m ashamed of this country

Right? Something more like "Absolutely" or "Unequivocally" would be more appropriate.

At the end of every dictatorship there's either a corrupt offspring to carry it on, or it collapses.
And when Donvict Drumpf dies his cult of stupidity will die with it. Amazingly, his disgusting offspring have even less charisma than that fat old child rapist.
So when this dictatorship is over you guys better bring people to justice. It's shameful what you've allowed to happen.

Obviously the perfect way would be to guillotine the orange kiddie fiddler then jail his kids and enablers. But you usa guys are apparently too scared to even accuse him of his blatant crimes, so I'll settle with the dismantling of his crime family and taking action against his enablers.

(Though you'll all do fuck all and hope it goes away. Like usual.)

You reached the end
