The moment 19-year-old Emely Agustin spotted the group of masked immigration agents tackling a woman facedown on the pavement, her heart dropped.

She saw the woman’s red jacket.

“Oh my fucking God. That’s my mom!” she screamed.

It was the morning of 5 November in Cottage Grove, in central Oregon, and masked officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had dragged Juanita Avila out of her van. The agents pinned her down as she cried out for her daughter, who started filming. Juanita, a 47-year-old legal permanent resident, had her green card in her pocket, but officers handcuffed and detained her.

      Fuck that. Death is the easy way out for the monsters behaving this way.

      I want the chief monster in charge removed, tried, and left to rot in a prison for the rest of his miserable life, without access to orange makeup. And I want every piece of shit that has agreed to work with him to suffer the same fate.

      Don’t let them become martyrs or allow them to make the lies they tell about us all being the same true. We’re not the same. These motherfuckers are trying to destroy the law. The law should fucking destroy them instead.

        You’re never going to get your wish. To me you sound like a centrist, maybe even a MAGA, or at worst a fed trying to shut down assassination talk.

          I think you have it backwards. Usually it’s the Feds advocating for this type of thing.

            Lies.

            The “fed post” is a fallacy. A concept used to shut people down. Show me an example of the US government telling people to revolt against the government. A real example I can see, not some theory.

            Telling people to obey is fascism. Telling people to calm down is fascism. Telling people not to rise up against an oppressive government is fascism.
