Broadview Brutality

“This is what it looks like when ICE violates our 1st Amendment rights.”
- Kat Abughazaleh
    
    ICE Agents in the Chicagoland area escalated their violence against protesters yesterday.  ICE Agents have also taken to digitally recording protestors as well as their own violent mistreatment of Americans and migrants.  They are acting with a callous impunity, which absolutely means they do not think they will ever suffer any consequences for their actions.

Understand the Trump Podcast Propagandists absolutely love this shit.  Understand Trump administration Nazis, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Tricia McLaughlin, Karoline Leavitt are fucking ecstatic.  Understand white people across the country are cheering this on and yearning for more and more violence.  This is exactly what they want to see and precisely what they voted for...

When MAGA saw historical images of state-supported violence against Civil Rights champions, anti-Vietnam war protestors they idolize the brutal criminal police officers.  Kat Abughazaleh was brutally hip-tossed this morning.  Abughazaleh and Dan Biss are amongst the Democratic candidates for Jan Schakowsky's Illinois 9th district Congressional seat.  They and dozens of other protesters where tear-gassed and pepper balled as well as manhandled outside the Broadview ICE Detention center.

I am not one to blame Democratic officials for the constitutional violations of Republicans nor for the criminal actions of White ICE Knights but, it's far past time for elected Democrats to recognize the era we are in; we are in an Era of Ascendent Fascism and White Supremacy.

I am very sorry for Hakeem Jeffries that he was denied an easy time in Office.  I am very sorry for Chuck Schumer that he gets to see all his work championing Israel get destroyed as Israelis become a bloodthirsty murderous state committing the atrocities once done to Jewish people.  I am very sorry the Democrats in the House, Senate, State Congresses and Governorships as well as lower elected offices have to live in this time but, that's where we are.

Republicans are going to use paramilitary law enforcement tactics and state-sponsored domestic terrorism to undo the United States of America and replace it with the NeoConfederate Authoritarian dystopia. 

And they will never be content with just turning the States they control into fascist shit holes;  Republicans plan to Rule or Ruin.  You can either be like Disney and kowtow, knuckle under, bow, and hope to not draw the anger and violence of Fascist Republicans or you can stand and fight.
