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

    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.

      Peaceful protests exist because the next step is citizens asking their governments less nicely if their demands are not heard.

        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.

            before the blatant power grab, not after it.

            Conservatives always think they’re the exception to every rule and that they’re the arbiters of normality.

            Its a kind of mental gymnastics I’ll never understand and it makes them immeasurably weird (in a bad way).

        While I don’t agree with your vote, I hope you and your whole family don’t get arrested by ICE. That said, how in the world could you support trump?

        maybe not a Nazi, but definitely simple minded. the world isn’t such a binary. be careful around ICE, being a Mexican - or go see for yourself how they treat you, since they’re just “doing their job”

          Most Nazis were dupes. Many Nazis were kind and sweet in person, I’m sure. The problem is they also whole heartedly supported a genocidal psychopath with a death wish and could not distinguish lies from truth if their lives depended on it, which it did.
