@arstechnica Import/export rules? ... are we doing ITAR bullshit again?
@arstechnica look, it’s impotence man!
@arstechnica And none of those folks JUST STANDING THERE WITH THEIR FUCKING PHONES HAD A TAZER?! None? Okay, just like in Hitler’s Germany, walk into the camps quietly. Do as you’re told. I’m sure it’ll all be fine…now, please remove your clothes. Here is a bar of soap. Time to shower.
@arstechnica
Find a platform not in the pocket of a MAGA broligarch.
I can think of a few. 💡
@arstechnica this image is basically modern art. There's the guy blending in with the fence, a guy with obvious "WTF" face, someone just on their phone, people standing around. The second ICE agent looks like he's ready for bingo night with all that paint... not a care in the world for anything happening behind him... so bizarre.
Looking at the big picture here.
Import-Export is a Koch Network tactic

What every US citizen can simply do NOW:
get an ever growing mass of concerned to
contact their reps, write/phone/email/scream outside their offices,
with #impeachment demand, or, we #primary you with someone who will;
find those candidates https://www.citizensimpeachment.com/
https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative#
do #Democracy
I hope you, and the people you are in contact with,
contact your congressional representatives to demand
the return of our country, that they immediately impeach Trump!
@arstechnica This is literally the surveillance security state these same people kept blabbing on about before they all joined #ICE
That's why we don't hear about that shit now. They're all working for the surveillance security state.
@arstechnica instagram user fighting for anonymity, it's like a member of the nazi party wanting to change mein kampf. They should choose their battles more carefully
This guys "da fuq" face captures how we all feel about ICE
@arstechnica "weirdly" - pulling out of their ass.
