That parking ticket doesn’t include the forceable separation from my family. Its a punishment, or deterrent that matches the level of the crime, which would be a misdemeanor. I would also add is what crossing the border is, a fucking misdemeanor. 

Yes, the fact that we had an immigration system before ICE supports the argument for abolishing it. ICE is only one part of our government’s wide-ranging immigration system, in fact it is just one department within DHS. There are other departments within DHS that carry out our immigration laws including CBP and USCIS,…

If we start calling every group we don’t like a terrorist organization, then the real terrorists will be forgotten.

But to label them a terrorist organization does nothing but numb the public to that term.

Hey, if the pro-forced birthers thinks harassing women entering seeking a medical abortion is protecting fetal rights (over the woman’s rights), surely harassing the director of a gub’mint child trafficking scheme by protesting violations of rights of living, breathing children should be no problem.

We don’t dilute it. Were just not good at recognising it if it doesn’t come in the shape of POC of a non-Christian religion. The definition is right there in your statement ‘They commit acts designed to strike terror into the hearts of their enemies to gain a political or religious goal.’. What is separating children…

The ELF is considered a terrorist group and ICE commits more terrorism on an average Tuesday morning than the ELF has in its entire existence. ICE's MO is to commit violence against and spread fear among civilians. They're basically the KKK with a badge and deserve the appellation entirely.

Kidnapping with the intention of striking terror into the hearts of immigrants. Is that not a political goal? This organization is accused of having built an Abu Ghraib-style prison for minors in Virginia in 2015. They are accused of enabling widespread sexual assault against their prisoners. They are known to kidnap…

Preemptively posting a giant FUCK YOU to anyone who criticizes this action.

This is GREAT. We should abolish ICE, no question. I also like her framing of the issue as being a need to “protect our undocumented people.” That phrasing really underscores the fact that undocumented people ARE part of our communities, not some scary, alien out-group. If being the governor means governing the people…

I’m really not into the idea of voting for celebrities, but I will vote for candidates that speak the truth in public.

ICE has strayed so far away from its mission. It is supposed to be here to keep Americans safe but what it has turned into frankly is a terrorist organization of its own that is terrorizing people who are coming to this country.

I have a PhD, but if it weren’t for the long college and training process I would be a mechanic or a welder. Because I need a damn job.

They really believe we don’t understand and they refuse to wrap their head around the fact that they themselves don’t understand. We know that the police are trying to be “helpful.” We do understand! They need to get that instead of being helpful, that phrase does women no good, and makes victims have to explain…

The police arrest rapists.

Exactly. Those qualifiers make a man sound even more idiotic. What would be better is “As a human being, I don’t condone the abuse of women.” Hardwick doesn’t get it.

Those qualifiers always make me uneasy. Is the suggestion that, if a man had somehow grown up without any contact with a woman, he would be A-OK with abuse?

If you only abhor something because it makes you think uncomfortable thoughts about the women in your life, I’m not sure you really abhor it at all.

Another clueless dude using the “As a husband, a son, and future father...” BS statement. Commence eye roll.

I’m not lecturing anyone.

“Men (myself included) don’t seem to like situations we can’t fix.. so we try to help.. speaking for myself we don’t mean to annoy y’all.. we just worry.”

BUT YOU ARE ANNOYING US ALL! FUCKING FIX *THAT* IF YOU LIKE TO FIX THINGS SO MUCH!
