“I’m saying it right now,” Homan said. “There’s still going to be more bloodshed unless they shut their mouth and let ICE enforce the laws that they enacted.”

DHS has acknowledged that neither of the men who have been shot in recent weeks was the target of the ICE operations that led to their deaths.

A witness reported that Guerrero shouted, “I tried to stop” after being shot by an agent while his vehicle moved forward slowly.

    Very cool. When do we get to the public trials and punishments for these nazis? Are we really just gonna let these idiots run this government until 2028?

    We aren’t publicly talking about deposing and jailing these people and that’s just unacceptable

      Until 2028? Oh sweetie, 2028 will be just another fascist year at this rate. Seeing things from the outside looks like you are already in a dictatorship but still don’t realize. The results of 2026 will tell the world if there will be elections or “elections” in 2028.

    Here in Chile, when one President declared war on their people, we trashed the country until his governance was all but surrendered, and we even got the chance of making a new Constitution out of it (the idiots blew it, but that’s for Season 2 of the series). He got lucky to make it out of the Presidential building in one piece (we historically don’t like it when armed conflict touches the place).

    What are the so-called American citizens doing?

      The difference is, our police are armed more heavily than some nations military. And our military is more heavily armed than nearly every other nation combined… And that’s forgetting that we’ve allowed technocrats to install nationwide government surveillance, tracking and recording. Both online and in public places.

      It’s not so easy as just “revolt”.

      The braves from the land of the free are either:

      • cowering in fear

      • playing victim

      • pretending ThInGs ArE nOt tHaT bAd

      • all of the above

          They get downvoted because they attempt to mock instead of acknowledging reality of having the obstacles of the most powerful, and well funded 3 letter agencies subverting any attempt to enact real change in favor of the working class.

          It’s just going to be harder than a smaller country that doesn’t have so many radically different regions.

            I’ll take the unpopular point that I think is more relevant: it really isn’t that bad for me and likely a lot of other people

            My costs are up but I can absorb it, and materially my life isn’t that different. America should 100% buck these fascists, and I think we’re fucked as a country given the bald faced corruption + bigotry, but if my experience holds true for most of the others then it’s still not bad enough to risk what we have.

            People have to lose a lot more for things to change.

              “Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than “politics.” They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. You know who weren’t nice people? Resisters.”

                And that’s why it took so long for WWII to happen. We haven’t even had a Reichstag fire yet.

    Does Tom Homan have a personal protection detail? He might just get what he’s looking for.
