    Masked thugs kidnapping people, including PhD students, off the street and into unmarked vehicles.

    Yeah, I’d say ICE has some things in common with the KKK.

    Also, the burned look works well on that building.

    I wonder if someone parked a Tesla next to the HQ. They seem to have a habit of spontaneously combusting.

    I find it hard to believe anyone would actually equate ICE with the KKK when the only thing they really have in common is racism. They’re much more equatable to the Gestapo and KGB

        I get that, but I feel this was a false flag.

        I mean, did someone really cut stencils for this?

          Using a stencil means they can leave their mark quickly (with less chance of being stopped), and repeat it in multiple locations just as quickly.

            So be prepared for some insane otherwise blatantly illegal, un-American, anti-democratic, fascist shit? Also known as another day of the trump presidency?

            We have not reached the floor. I don’t see mass daily protests or armed insurrection. Apparently we’re all ok with this so far. When the fascists have pushed so far that people will sacrifice some comfort and safety to do something about it is when we reach the floor. Right now, people are still too comfortable.

    The reason why the fascists want you to protest peacefully, is because it makes it easier for them to ignore you.

    A reminder to people who call this an act of violence, it isn’t. Violence can only be committed against living things. This is arson which is a type of vandalism. If there are people or animals inside, then it’s violence. If only property is damaged it’s vandalism or sabotage, depending on the purpose of the damage.

    Pay attention everyone, the reason this hasn’t happened more often is because Trump will use acts like this to fuel anger in his base. Then he will use that anger to destroy lives and eradicate laws that stand in the way of his cruelty and goals.

        If anything, relenting will make his lies more outrageous, his actions more unhinged. He only understands fear so you might as well speak his language.

      I mean all of trump’s base believes all sorts of nonsense all the time. Giving them real things to be concerned about is probably a step up.

      Wait, are you saying ICE is racist because they’re doing their job? So, when they did the EXACT same thing under Obama were they racist then?

      I think you are making that up. how can you possibly know the motivation of everyone who might do something like this, but chooses not to?

      Yea, but at the same time he could just make something happen and blame it on the leftists. We know how easily MAGA is fed BS if they want to hear it. So many of them say the Jan 6 treasonous ass wipes were escorted through the capital.

      An escort did happen, but that was at an entirely different place and time and wasn’t like J6. But, they’re given the info and the videos of an entirely different event and they simply accept it as truth because they want to believe it is the truth.
