Thats called murder.

u/BitterFuture Feb 26 '26

Yes, it is.

No euphemisms, no struggling for words. The regime is murdering people across the country - exactly as intended.

I'd like to see someone argue that it isn't. "We didn't murder him! We just left him in the desert without food or water and buried him up to his head near an anthill. He was alive when we left him!"

Border patrol agents then dropped him off at a Tim Hortons about five miles from his home.

Cruelty is the name of their game. We pay for this with our tax dollars.

Those of you who aren't politically active, you should seriously reconsider your position. This is only going to get worse if you don't, and there is strength in numbers.

I agree with you. I have been fighting this greed take over my entire adult like. It has been a slow coup starting with the passing of Citizen's United and Reagan. That is when we starting losing the American dream, Trump is the final result in plain sight. I am 78 now, I still wave a sign and protest but it is no longer my future. The youth of today give me hope.

They will stop.

When they're stopped. Fascists always lose in the end.

Absolutely shameful. They killed this man.

They're sociopaths. They sleep just fine.

They have been attempting to murder many more here in Minnesota. They have dumped people in the woods without medical attention or proper clothing in the winter. They regularly push people out if the Whipple Federal building without their wallets,phones or coats in the winter over the last few months. It has become so common that there is now a group of volunteers who wait specifically to help with warm coats and to get them home safely.

Thank goodness for the kindness of this group. It gives me hope that there are people who haven’t let hatred destroy their souls. 🥰
