Even if he were an illegal immigrant it would still be murder.

    This is a felony, we had a whole Laken Riley act pass Congress because of one murdered woman. Where is justice for all these deaths in federal custody??

  • This guy could be a convicted murderer and it would still be wrong. This isn't the first medical neglect death, this is their policy. How these people keep their medical licenses is a mystery.

    Which one? This is the 7th death at an ICE facility in Texas this year.

    Why aren't we rioting?

    In my opinion, the ability to riot has been seriously damaged by surveillance. You can’t just wear a mask and identical black clothing anymore. They can track your phone, your car, analyze your eyes, facial ratios, online posts, phone calls, text messages, device activity, and a whole host of other things to identify anyone who resists. It reduces the time a riot can persist because they can simply scoop people up at home the very same night. Furthermore, the squeamishness of the bourgeoisie over the appearance of public violence creates an environment of condemnation rather than praise towards any group that actually takes action in a meaningful way.

    We’re out gunned, out surveilled, and out resourced. We could take action now, rather than later, and it would probably be easier on all of us, but the comfortable and privileged who sit on the top of normal society simply won’t stomach the realities of what needs to happen to create the large scale change we need, and without their support, we are too easy for the elites to pick off.

    Nothing chills me more than the liberal glee over this election—as if we can vote our way out of this mess. Thomas Jefferson was right: the tree of liberty must be renewed by the blood of tyrants and patriots. The people are meant to hold a metaphorical gun to the head of power to keep them in line, and I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean just voting and hoping for the best.

    If I recall correctly, Marx talks about the important role the children of the bourgeois must play in the revolution, as the folks in the position to both identify with the working class and also be listened to by the bourgeoisie. Our future could potentially come down to the ability of those people to radicalize their relatives, en masse.

    The day there is a major protest that causes damage and the mainstream liberals cheer it on will be the day that the tides have any potential of turning.
