    “In the United States of America”.

    The birthplace of freedom and democracy. The beacon of light and justice in the world. So strange that it is happening over there. Who could have seen this coming?

    One could expect this to happen anywhere, but in the United States of America? No way.

      Even the American left has had their national exceptionalism so deeply ingrained that they cant stop screaming “We’re number 1!” while they are drowning.

      Thats why they were the perfect mark. The idea that it could happen to them was so preposterous.

      What ICE is doing now is just a louder and more brazen version of what they have been doing since their inception.

    But I’ve been told Democrats are SO HORRIBLE that we have to allow felon pedophile fascists to run our country instead.

    I mean Dems fumbled a single foreign affair topic, so it makes sense that we should just let masked unaccountable federal agents violate our Constitutional rights and murder American citizens.

      Don’t you think people deserve to vote for someone they actually support, rather than the least terrible option though?

        Sure. That’s not mutually incompatible with preferring the least terrible option to the most terrible though.

        People view it as “Democrats don’t deserve to win because they didn’t have a good enough candidate”, when they should be viewing it as “Democrats didn’t field the candidate I deserve, but I still deserve better than the Republican”.

    I know this is meant to refer to eating the paper but what if someone ate the food. Like munching on celery while ICE pulls you out your window.

      Lmfao I thought they meant eat the food jfc I am dumb. The worst part is, i’ve seen this tweet before, and I understood what it meant the first time. Pregnancy brain.

      This time. I figured neighborhood must be an app like uber eats, and they’re saying just act like the food is for yourself.

    Still waiting for US citizens to organize a nationwide strike that doesn’t end until ICE terror ends. What’s it gonna take?

      The problem is that most of us that would protest are not in a financial position to do so. If I participate in a work strike, I won’t make the money I need to pay my bills, I’ll be evicted, I’ll go hungry, I won’t be able to feed the family or the pets I will go destitute long before actual change happens. I’m not just making sacrifices, I am making that decision for my whole family. And that’s just the surface level changes. I cannot afford to leave where I am currently. I believe that is all by design and I am not even close to the minority situation.

        Yeah, its not a viable option for everyone. Clandestine methods are an option.

        In France, they light things on fire.

        I guess US citizens are then in a financial situation similar to what US foreign policy has encouraged in several regions of the world.

        Anyone can downvote all they want, but US interventionism has had terrible consequences that most US citizens are not even aware of, yet people push back, they resist, despite much greater poverty than most people in the US have to suffer.

        I’m confident that US citizens can eventually do something concrete against their most recent criminal regime, of which there have been many. We haven’t even yet seen the level of pushback that was mounted during the war on Vietnam, and armed thugs are out there killing your citizens and kidnapping people off the streets.

        I just hope that pushback comes sooner than later because history shows us that people outside the US tend to suffer much more due to US policy than people inside the US.

            That is the argument everytime they try to tell people not to vote. Which is not only contradictory it’s just delusional.

            Yes, exactly, now you get it.

            It’s either that or waiting for the fascists to murder you. So get to it.

                I’m not American so I can’t help directly.

                Still, while I obviously can’t write here what I’m doing, I’m confident it qualifies as “me going first”. If we were with more people, we could do more than make the news a couple times per year.

                So… you next?

    It’s unbelievable that Minnesota Dems are trying to push though some of the worst gun grabbing legislature of the century. At the time nazis are literally at the front steps.

      I think that tells you everything you need to know… It’s a big club and you ain’t in it! Time to form a new party for the working class.
