In an attempt to argue that ICE protestors are radically out of control, the emergency appeal argues, “The federal agents’ efforts are met with prolonged, coordinated, violent resistance that threatens their lives and safety and systematically interferes with their ability to enforce federal law.” The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment.

The White House was caught trying to pass off footage of violence in red states as footage from the “chaos” in Chicago last week.

    There are more of us then them, we are more self sufficient than them, we are more resilient than them, we are more desperate than them. The real world is our natural environment, the rich are the arrogant invaders. Vietnam comes to mind when I think what a war of rich vs poor might look like. It won’t be near misses and broken escalators for long, when a sufficiently large number of people become sufficiently mad, their ivory towers will become prisons.

      Yeah, the rich win right up to the point that the people they pay to fight for them switch sides.

        Yeah, but the really shitty thing is that there are a lot of poor people who will fight and die for the rich side because they think it’s right.

          This is generally the compact. If you kill all the cattle, you’re fucked. We’re the cattle. The con is supposed to be that they feed and water us and we enable their lifestyle. But they are forgetting their job due to unchecked greed/avarice.
