Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

ICE agents are living in fear as the public turns against them in record numbers after one of their colleagues shot a mom dead in the street.

Not as much fear as the people whose doors your busting down without a warrant.

"There is genuine fear that indeed ICE’s heavy-handedness and the rhetoric from Washington is more creating a condition where the officers’ lives are in danger rather than the other way around."

What the fuck.

This dipshit literally thinks it should be our lives in danger. These people deserve everything coming to them.

Something tells me that soon enough, they'll be right

But not terrified enough to quit being Nazis, apparently.

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

No. Just enough to put them on edge "about officer safety" so they just start shooting people.

But Renee Good was white.

Just need 2 or 3 to be put on the wall for them to start to get the picture id imagine

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 87 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

ICE agents deserve to be terrified

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 1 points 1 minute ago

We need to remind them there is far more of us than them. They send 20? We should send 200. Out number them and make them fear for their lives, not the other way around.

If we as citizens are unsure if we can go home today without being killed by ICE, they should feel the same.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 50 points 17 hours ago

They aren't nearly terrified enough. They shouldn't be allowed to sleep, nor leave their car tires unattended, nor get delivery, nor trust what's in their fast food orders.

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 18 points 13 hours ago
[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 17 points 14 hours ago

As they should be. Should've behaved themselves from the beginning

[–] _t_o_@lemmy.world 67 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

the fact this poor womens last name is Good. And the articles speak to the "killing of Good" is so spot on it feels like if you wrote this in a story, the editor would tell you not to be so obvious about it.

History is filled with these moments lol. Whatever entity that is writing our story would benefit from learning wtf subtlety is.

[–] mcv@lemmy.zip 13 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

That's absolutely true. If 2 decades ago anyone had written a story or movie about a president acting like Trump, it would have been considered too unrealistic to publish.

Except that we’re being smashed over the head with the point and still not getting it. It’s honestly insane how obvious everything is and we as a species are still too stupid to see it all.

May they never know a day of peace for the rest of their pathetic Nazi lives. When this is over we need 100 years of leftist McCarthyism and COINTELPRO

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 13 points 15 hours ago

Long overdue to finish Reconstruction.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 31 points 16 hours ago

Bullshit. They need to feel real fear.

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Good. I hope you never get a good night's sleep again.

Especially once you're tucked in next to Big Bubba behind bars where you deserve to be...

I want these bastards to be hunted down and put to the rope. They earned their hate.

[–] AnchoriteMagus@lemmy.world 198 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

They should be terrified. Every collaborator with this fascist regime should be hounded every moment for the rest of their lives. When they're grocery shopping, at a restaurant, at church. Every moment should be a glaring reflection of the sucking hole in their souls where their morals should be.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 24 points 17 hours ago

By all means, behaving like a Nazi should be a major mortal liability. ICE agents are enemies not just to the United States, but to humanity as a whole. They should live in fear; and may that fear be actualized sooner than later.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 54 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

This made me wonder what murderer Jonathan Ross has been up to. Apparently he and his family are in hiding. It's not what it should be, him in jail, but it is encouraging that his decision to murder someone has led to actual consequences for him. The people had to do it since the system most certainly will not.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 18 points 17 hours ago

Republicans likely have funded putting him away and out of sight in some nice hotel while they figure out what to do about the situation.

They have no idea what to do about the situation. I just watched Kristi Noem basically set herself on fire on Jake Tapper. The emperor demanded she fall on her blade and she's so weak and pathetic that she did it.

One former agent told the Daily Beast that he and his colleagues fear it has become more common for juries not to believe evidence they are presenting to the court.

Thats good to hear. But its not gonna be enough i fear.

“If this situation continues, many of us fear that when the Dems get back in, they will dissolve ICE altogether,” he said. “For those of us who care about the good work ICE has done in the past three decades, that’s a very sad state of affairs.”

Still blaming democrats for the consequences of the things that Trump is doing.

[–] dublet@lemmy.world 39 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

the good work ICE has done

[citation needed]

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 11 points 16 hours ago

They consider murder, torture, and terror “good work.”

They mean “Renee Good work.”

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 37 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Still blaming democrats for the consequences of the things that Trump is doing.

Its a cult

Not scared enough if they haven't resigned.

Good! The gestapo isn't wanted. Next out is the regime! They ALL should be afraid!

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 76 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

I hope these guys end up spending their lives in fear and get pulled out of their retirement homes like all those nazi war criminals. No quarter.

Sure, ICE should be scared that someone might kill them, but a more interesting question is if a prosecutor could find 12 people in an ICE-occupied city that would convict someone of that killing.

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 57 points 23 hours ago

Everyone who masks up to kidnap people or shoot them in the face should be terrified to leave their house.
