This is it right here. City and state law enforcement need to be on the side of the people. Chase ICE out of your city with armed law enforcement. Threat of violent force is the only thing fascists will respond to.

Well, stare decisis doesnโt mean anything to the conservative activists justices on SCOTUS, so thereโs no reason to believe their previous decisions or the constitution will weigh on this case.

Obeying orders wonโt be a defense much longer. ICE agents are who they are, but the remainder of federal law enforcement needs to decide which side of history they want to be on.

Iโm not an apologist for motor supremacy, but why does everyone on this thread act like the two ideas are mutually exclusive: (1) it is illegal and unsafe to speed, (2) it is also unsafe (and illegal in NY, apparently) to drive slower than the flow of traffic in the far left lane.

Justice and Law are two separate concepts. Laws are tools. Wielded by the right people, they can serve justice. Wielded by the wrong people-like the ones currently in control of the government-they are used to scare, control, and harm people.
