During the agents’ violent attack on a delivery worker Saturday morning in DC, bystanders repeatedly demanded the agents share their badge numbers. One of them—his face fully obscured by a black balaklava—eventually shot back, “Do I have to answer to you?”
“You guys are ruining this country. You know that, right?” one bystander said to the agents at one point during the incident. An agent, ironically clad in a rainbow face mask, replied “Liberals already ruined it.”

Last week on stage at the Netroots conference in New Orleans, I spoke with Congresswoman Delia Ramirez (D-IL) about ICE: specifically that she believes it should be abolished. It’s a stance that’s considered far left, but after witnessing ICE and other federal agents in DC this week, abolishing ICE should be the baseline Democratic position.
“ICE is a terrorist organization,” Ramirez told me. “It needs to be defunded and needs to be abolished.”

Feeling brave and free enough to stop a rapist, racist, paedo nazi from overtaking your country yet?
Or are you going to carry on waiting for someone else to do something?
I love these posts because they never say exactly how to fix the situation.
Dude, if you could give me a step by step way to actually do it, I’d do it. I think we all would. You wanna sound all big and bad, but if you were over here, you’d be just as useless as the rest of us.
Thats a fair point.
If I were in America I wouldn’t be taking up arms.
I think i would be joining protests at work opportunity, to the point where it would have an impact on my employment and home life.
I acknowledge that loads of you are already doing that. Commenters like yourself probably are, but the vast majority of Americans are not.
Regardless, I sometimes make comments similar to the one you’re replying to. I think some of it comes from decades of being told that America somehow has the best kind of freedom and personal liberty. Again, I acknowledge its the right usually making those claims.
