      Actual gestapo. Can’t wait to see them all face a trial. (I do still hope that fascism can be defeated again.)

        I have hopes. Americans are very rebelious and that’s one thing I’ve always liked. In my homeland (PRC), the “No Kings” protest would never happen, especially not in modern politics

          Respectfully, Americans are anything but rebellious in the modern age. They haven’t even come close to an average weekend in France.

            Give it time. The original American revolution didn’t happen in one day, neither did the Civil Rights movement, pressure is building up, the fight for more freedom has just begun, I have hopes.

      Holy shit that poor woman. And how those onlookers were able to maintain their composure and not punch him in his fucking face is pretty amazing.

        I don’t know if amazing or just privileged. Shouldn’t someone stand up in the face of injustice and human rights violation?

          In a level-headed frame of mind, punching an ICE officer is not a good idea. They’ll just use that as fuel to further “crack down on antifa” or some other bullshit, and you will end up in some sort of ICE torture prison without having really achieved anything.

          But fuck, seeing that video makes my blood boil.
