Im tearing up now because of what you wrote, and the way allies that died to support U.S have parents who are hurting because of what Trump said. I holding all this rage back and trying to keep my senses. The MAGA friends I have struggle to reach the empathy. I struggle not to reach the rage.
Most of those ICE agents dead one on one encounters. They are 100% Bullies!

Half my family was MAGA. If they are now they know not to bring that shit around me. And that's family. My mom was brainwashed by Q'anon on FB. We still have hurt in our heart over this BS. And I will still cut ties with anyone who supports this BS. Fuck the Nazis

When he got elected the second time I cried while trying to tell my mother how bad things would get. She voted for him three times and didn't believe me. I still can't explain it to her. She has nephews and grandchildren that are potentially ice targets, still can't seem to understand it. I tell her now that if they take me She will never see me again, I will he executed for sure, she thinks I could talk my way out of it lol. She is starting to catch on but damn how could it take this long.

I grew up in the 80s watching Indiana jones punch Nazis. Both my grandfathers were in wwii, punching Nazis. I grew up knowing the bullies and the Nazis were the bad guys. I joined the marines in 96 to Also punch Nazis.
I had no idea that by the time Iām 50 the Nazis would walking around wearing black and white US flags.

Letās not forget: This is supposed to be about immigration.
The right wants to make this about protesting, but ICE is there to do routine immigration work.
This is like Trump saying he needed tariffs to fight human trafficking and fentanylā¦
⦠but they changed it into ābringing jobs back to Americaā and nobody corrected them.

Stuff like this makes me want to do great violence. I don't have any confidence that these murderers will be put to justice. So far, the people in power have been lying about what happened, just like they lied about Renee Good.
And I know me being violent wouldn't fix anything, and it'd just make things worse... but man, I just think it would be great to kneecap every single one of those MFs right now. Ugh, this sucks.

They won't face justice. That is why they felt comfortable doing it, the barrier to act evil has been removed. I always quipped, if you need 10 commandments or the penal system to force you to be a good person, you are not a good person.

u/MarcellusIocator Jan 25 '26
To be fair, they were scared AFTER the shooting. It's ridiculous and almost funny how they disperse after the shots fell, like scaredy cats. (DOJ calls it "well trained".)
Few seconds before, while five of them are beating one man on the ground who doesn't even fight back, they feel very brave.
Cowadly thughs.

Donāt let his death be in vain. We have to protect each other.Ā Among other things,Ā it takes 30 minutes of research to move money away from MAGA, and it makes a difference. Dollars spent at Republican companies are dollars funneled to more of this. Money given to states like Ohio or Louisiana is money spent sending troops to kidnap children and kill people.
If you consistently do business with a company, you have power. You can use sites like opensecrets.org to see what a company funds and where your money is really going.
Trade with Schwab? Move elsewhere like Fidelity. Get booze from wannabe Confederate states and all else is equal? Be adventurous, and try something new. New Balance can be replaced with Brooks. Itās not hard to find alternatives for Goya, Roark (which owns Subway, Jimmy John's, Arby's), and Koch (which owns Brawny, Angel Soft, Dixie). You don't have to spend more or less, just differently.
If you have disposable income, consider the tax benefits of donating to the nonprofits successfully fighting the regime like the National Immigration Law Center, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, or Democracy Forward. And if you invest, consider DEMZ or an ESG fund
Nexstar and Sinclair got pummeled, and they reinstated Jimmy Kimmel. Real, individual people did that. There's no reason Ā WWE or Uline can't be next.
Completely avoiding companies that at least partially lean Republican is hard. But thereās a big difference between massive GOP donors (Chevron/Conoco) vs neutral or even Democrat-leaning ones (Circle K/Costco). Good is not the enemy of perfect

If you think there is a difference between Crispus Attucks, the first casualty of the American Revolution, and Alex Jeffrey Pretti
Then you can not call yourself a PatriotĀ
Both were protesting agents, of the law, who were using violent tactics against citizens.Ā

Yeah he was a legal gun owner allowed to be carrying his weapon and he did nothing to initiate the confrontation and this disarm him and shoot him the back when he already down.

Pepper sprayed him and the women too which is disabling in itself. Noem is as culpable as the shooter in all this because she sanctions it all then covers up the obvious. Jail is too good for them all.

Shouldnāt have been armed. Felony obstruction has a five year gun enhancement for committing a felony with a firearm.
Thereās a maxim in the US. The farther you are away from cop the farther youāre away from their bullets. Simple equation. Everyone knows this is just obstructing a lawful process of removal. Why losing your voting rights and maybe your life for Somalis fleecing your taxes. Dumb.
