"ICE isn’t there to patrol the polling places. We’re there to enforce specific threats.”
Enforce specific threats. What a weird thing for law enforcement to say. Not protect against threats. Prevent threats. But ENFORCE THREATS
Their warrants are bullshit, they'll find someone with a "last known address" that obviously isn't in use in battleground districts and send ICE there to depress Dem turnout.
If you see ICE at your polling place, that means voting is even more important
I don't mean to sound dramatic but this might be one of the most important elections in US history. It's absolutely going to set the course for the country
No, 2024 was. The fascists are in power now. They will postpone this election, alter the outcome or even just ignore the results and declare victory. This one won't count for shit other than to maybe start a revolution. I'm going to vote anyway if the elections are held, but I'm not kidding myself into thinking that the fascists have come all this way only to step aside because of an election.
I think so too unfortunately. Even if Dems win a majority, how much, and w/o executive can't change much. Then get blamed they had hearings for 2 years rather than unite and fix all the damage, that the bad choices last election caused/made worse, but no awareness of that.
Much easier and faster to destroy things than build, but tiktok feeds won't mention that, and will convince enough to make the bad choices again. I hope I'm wrong and people show up and elect Dems with enough majority, for enough time, to make the changes people claim to want. It can't be done if every other cycle destroys the progress Dems make when they ever have enough majority, and people don't realize all this and think vote the other way to fix what they "feel" is wrong. Right/wrong thinking, it's part of why we're regressing.
Totally agree. We're watching from Australia to see if you guys are still a democracy or not. Signs aren't looking good..
It's important, but no more than others. The filibuster means it takes 60 in the Senate to do anything other than a budget.
We need to gain as many seats as possible ahead of next election. That's the one that's going to be huge, because a top ticket progressive drives primary turnout as well as general.
That's why Bernie was so insistent on taking it to the end, and Martin has said this whole time they're not calling it till every state has a primary/caucus.
Quick edit:
And obviously bullshit this year, is test run for bullshit in 2 years.
That's why we need to show it's not effective
"We’re there to enforce specific threats."
The threat of democracy?
The threat that they can't ride around in masks abducting people off the streets and murdering US citizens.
Fuck these goddamn microdicked peaked in highschool massive losers
how does a threat to the polling place involve immigration and customs enforcement
Gestapo
SA more likely
No you misunderstand, they are there to "enforce threats" not protect from threats.
This is the Nat-C regime we are talking about.
What does executing two white American citizens 1,500 miles from the border have to do with immigrations and customs enforcement?
"ICE isn’t there to patrol the polling places. We’re there to enforce specific threats".. is he outright saying they are there to intimidate voters? I knew they would be pulling this card.
Fuck ICE and fuck Trump and fuck all his supporters.
"enforce specific threats" ....yeah that's not good
Fuck him and fuck ICE.
nazis hide with masks,
Cowardly traitors afraid,
They choose violence
Enforce specific threats. That's a hell of a sentence to say out loud.
Basically not even pretending they're anything but the MAGAstapo anymore.
Lets see if the american public are as tough as they claim against terrorists foreign and domestic.
Ha-ahahahahahahahahshshshaaaahahahahaahhahahaa ehhhh hahahahhaha-aah
Seriously though, we're not just for them. We vote them back in.
Free democratic elections.
This was always the plan
Just spreading the idea that ICE might be active near polling places on Election Day should be prosecutable as voter intimidation.
In Texas you can vote early from October 19th to October 30th, 7 a.m. to 7pm. There is absolutely no reason you can't find the 20 minutes it will take to vote sometime between 7am and 7pm from October 19th to October 30th. If you live in one of these counties, you can vote at any polling station in the county you reside in.
It looks like every state has some kind of early in person voting. If they could just rig entire elections they wouldn't be so worried about them.
pedo regime says what
My friends and I have been saying our new hobby should be suing the government as often and as many ways as we can so we can quit our day jobs. Looks like our wish is coming true.
We all thought that. No news here, just a plan unfolding. Pre-massaging the rage so when it comes out everyone will already have had their kick at the outrage can and it'll be less of a bang and more of a whimper.
2A
Ah yeah, the Immigration and Customs agency is definitely the most appropriate for that
What in anyone's name would cause a noncitizen to want to vote? There's nothing good in it for them to do it and loads of possible bad. Negative motivation. Yet the GOP wants you to believe that convoys of illegals have been thronging ti the polls. Beyond ridiculous.
“Specific threats”. Hmmm. I wonder if they’ll have images of everyone NOT a Trump voter.
