    Babbitt: “I want to stop the certified election so my daddy president can be installed as a dictator”

    Good: “I’m protesting the gestapo ICE 🧊 agents from harassing my community”

    Dumbest centrist: “these people are literally the same”

      If she believed Trump (what a moron) then she had to protect us from an undemocratic takeover (she is so stupid, but rather brave and valiant though?

      Also, I loved hearing about Congresspeople huddling in a h basement. Those decrepit traitors could be roasting rabid racoon over a garbage fire and it would be too good for them.

        People have a basic responsibility to (at a minimum) check their assumptions and ask some very basic questions before resorting to attempting a violent overthrow of the government. I’m not prepared to excuse every act of violence by anyone who thinks they are justified.

        I think it’s fair to say she was, but that just makes it even more of an outrage that she was killed. She might not have been marching around with a picket sign chanting slogans, but filming ICE in the way she was is definitely being done, at least in part, as a form of protest.

        Just existing in space. Trying to take herself from one location to another. The continued promotion of her existence as a protestor is actually harmful to trying to get people to understand the true nature of American policing and particularly ICE. If you exist in space in America, you can be killed.

        That’s it.

        That’s all it takes.
