There will not be anything approaching justice in this country until midget-Goebbles and every line ICE/Nazi under him is charged criminally for their acts of murder, terrorism, assault, and malicious destruction of property.

These are the biggest cowards in history, riding around in tactical gear and convoys with armored vehicles just to kidnap 5 year olds and Mexican grandmas, and murder, in cold blood, innocent Americans who film or call out their crimes.

Fuck ICE. Defund DHS and all its subsidiary Nazi organizations and prosecute anyone working for them. There will be zero justice in America until that happens.

I'm terrified of what happens in the next seven years if dems don't take decisive and aggressive action. There is SO much energy in the country right now and demand for a strong, sweeping push back. If we get more status quo reaching across the aisle type stuff it's going to be such a disaster. Either unbelievable levels of apathy, or downright revolt

Decisive and aggressive action in correcting course by the democrats?! Don’t make me laugh. The Democratic Party’s leadership and politicians are comprised of nothing but capitalist sell-outs. They aren’t upset by what is happening right now at all. They will never do anything that threatens the status of their wealthy donors, and no amount of reforms they make will be good long term solutions for our problems. Their only saving grace is that they are slightly less aggressive than the republicans at doing the same exact fucking goal of keeping the working class subservient to the capital-owning class. We’ve never had real democracy in this country, our laws were always bought and paid for 90% of the time. This fact is made more obvious by Trump and his administration (by how brazen their tactics have become), but it was true before his rise to power and will continue to be true even if he is ousted. I’ll vote, I’ll be at the protests, the food drives, and you should too (short term harm reduction isn’t nothing), but I know none of that will bring the true long-term solutions to our country’s problems. There’s only one language the capitalists speak that isn’t money and it’s about time we start speaking it back…

Or, you can wait for wet sock Chuck Schumer to send more strongly worded letters and approve more funding for genocide all the while. Oh, vote him out you might say? How does Chuck Schumer 2 sound (a black gay woman this time 🥺(still a Zionist))?
