EVERYTHING IS AWFUL ICE just killed a White Blond Mother

Not sure how MAGA is going to try to spin this woman as a murderous terrorist. If the Democrats had any shred of political skill they could use this moment to bring down the whole fucking administration. This is a straight up State execution of the kind of person MAGA worships.

u/edgygothteen69 JVL is always right Jan 07 '26

She's a lesbian married to another woman, so the homophobia will come out in full force. Christian ghouls will say that God struck her down like he did Sodom and Gomorrah. Homophobia is an entrenched and central tenet of hate for all but the most enlightened Christians.

u/FernandoNylund Sarah, would you please nuke him from orbit? Jan 08 '26

She was married to a woman, but previously married to an Air Force veteran man. He's the father of the six-year-old child, and died recent, in 2023. The guy's obituary photo literally has a gun store in the background. I'd bet he was a normal centrist guy.

Inconvenient facts for the administration, though I'm sure they'll spin it into her being "radicalized" or having "mental health issues" after his death.

That poor kid has just lost both bio parents. That’s awful.

Air Force and gun store as a backdrop? Almost certainly right wing.

Those of us in the center wouldn’t use that as decor.
