    My understanding is that Alex Pretti was murdered by CBP. Not to let ICE off the hook here, just to say let’s not let other Gestapo agencies get away with murder either.

    It seems to me that those in power only cared when the white guy died.

      Why do people like you keep pretending whether or not it was on video doesn’t factor into it?

        Renee Good was on video, we all saw it too. I was honestly surprised with the reaction to this latest murder, I expected the same reaction we saw with her murder.

          Yes my point is that these two being on video got them a big reaction. Are you implying there wasn’t a big reaction to Renee Good’s murder?

          I’m not referring to the response of people like you and I, I do believe that the majority of white folks aren’t racist, I’m referring to those in position of power, and even then I’m not even saying they are outright racist, but that they are certainly biased even if they are not aware of it.

    Democrats voted to kill 20k+ children in Gaza. Hope they don’t get what they voted for here.

      You voted for Jill Stein, in other words you voted for this. Probably why you’re trying to shift attention away from it.

        I voted for someone who opposed genocide & actually had a policy of healthcare as a human right. Did you vote for that Dick Cheney praising coconut who pledged her unconditional support to an apartheid country carrying out a genocide?

          The result of your vote was what’s happening now, and a toddler could’ve seen it coming.

          Tell me, am I supposed to believe you didn’t see it coming? Or am I to believe that you think things are better currently than they would have been under Harris?

          Either way I ain’t buying either line of bullshit. You voted for this. Jill Stein is a huge fraud and everyone knows that. Including you.

          Also keep in mind your decision to try and change the subject from the post is why everyone is rightly calling you out.

          You voted for a known GOP spoiler candidate who takes money from fascists while Trump was out there openly threatening to use the military against his own people. Let’s not forget that he also said that immigrants “poison our blood of our country” as if they’re a fucking virus.

          None of you third party voters, apathetics, or Trump-voting swing voters gets to pretend you didn’t know that he was a white supremacist.

          You knew what Trump was planning. You chose to throw a fit instead of voting for the lesser evil, which was the only legitimate choice we had as voters.

          You enabled fascism in this country because you were too immature to do the hard thing. Kamala was a lot of things but she wasn’t going to order ICE to invade our fucking cities.

      Oh yeah, and not voting against the party that is outspoken in taking Israel’s side is somehow better for Gaza?

        They couldn’t care less about the current situation or that their third party vote (I recognize this troll from before) helped make the current situation a reality. What this user cares about is agitation.

          What are you talking about? You don’t get to speak for me. I voted for a highly educated & distinguished doctor who opposed the genocide in Gaza & advocated for healthcare as a human right. I think it bothers you that I actually voted with a moral conscious.

          I didn’t have to try to wrap myself in a pretzel to vote for Stein. I’m proud of who I voted for. You can claim all you want that your Dick Cheney praising candidate was morally superior, but it doesn’t make it true.

          If you want my vote then earn it. I don’t owe it to you. That is Democracy. What I saw & still see is a bunch of leftwing authoritarians trying to silence anyone critical of their beloved AIPAC puppets, demanding votes & wishing violence on anyone who doesn’t do what they demand.

            Stein had no chance of winning and you knew it. You voted for nobody. You didn’t vote. Not voting is mathematically equivalent to half a vote for the candidate you least support. You voted for Trump and everything his administration is doing now.

            All the flimsy justification in the world doesn’t make up for the fact that you didn’t try to stop this. You empowered it.

            Edit: lmao is this really how you’re describing known Russian asset Jill Stein?

        False dichometry. Democrats did everything to hand over power to the Republicans. It’s a good cop bad cop, one party situation.

        People have to organise on their own and make sure that good people are in power.

            I have. I called them the good cops. They would never dare to bend the law like the Republicans do. But that doesn’t matter, because it’s only a role they play. They leave the room when it’s time for the dark stuff. A really good person would never allow the bad cop to bend the law.
