We didn't say body cams on ICE. Their murders are already on video. We said no more ICE.

Abolish ICE.

Thereโ€™s no reforming it.

Thereโ€™s no compromise.

Thereโ€™s only one way to rein in ICEโ€™s terror campaign. Abolish it.

My first thought when I read "not confirmed by family" was this scene. Sadly, I don't think this is our reality. ๐Ÿ™

There is this yawing, constant pit of sadness and fury and helplessness that we just... live with now.

In a just world, dismantling ICE and prosecuting EVERYONE, from Trump and Miller and Noem and Bovino on down to the last murderous, eager chud, would be a bare minimum.

right now the floor for me is abolish ICE and put every agent on trial and the average elected democrat is like what if we told them to cut it out

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

These guys were either too young or considered too unfit for the military during the Bush administration and only wish they could have been part of the waterboarding.

It's good to take a step back from work before editing anyhow. You're gonna whip that WIP into shape!

This Isnโ€™t the First Killing by ICE โ€” and It Wonโ€™t Be the Last ICE shot a woman point-blank in Minneapolis. The agencyโ€™s raids and impunity were always going to lead to death.

Several people have died in ICE custody and because of ICE detention. Renee Goodeโ€™s murder is a crime everyone could plainly see but make no mistake, there are many families who will never see their father, mother, sibling, or parent again because of ICE.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there

Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

I had success over at that other place doing something similar to this, so I'm hoping to find those people again.

I'm a horror and sci-fi author who writes novels and short stories to deal with the crumbling world around me.

Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein was an excellent interpretation of the original text. Definitely go see it if you can!

Watching Soylent Green for the first time. The dystopic parts make for good sci fi still but the machismo makes me want to puke/DNF. #butitwasadifferenttime ๐Ÿคฎ

Definitely watched part of Weapons though my fingers, but did anyone else feel a little misled by the opening narration?
