Oh, FUCK ICE!!

 

Over the weekend ICE, the nazi US secret police unleashed by the Cankles administration murdered yet another American citizen.

After the murder of Renee Good, a mother of three on January 7 in Minneapolis, ICE has murdered another American citizen in the same city: Alex Pretti, and intensive care nurse who worked at the VA hospital in Minneapolis.

I am not going to post the video of their killings here. If you need to see it to believe me, google it (also, fuck that). I am beyond giving a fuck about bothsiding right now and I feel scared and furious. I feel like I can't do anything to stop this. But we all can. Or can try. Huntley showed me the email he sent to his representatives and I decided to send mine, also. The senate may be voting on the 27th. There's no time to lose. These people are elected by the AMERICAN PEOPLE. Remember that.

I invite you to email YOUR representatives right now and tell them that you, also are outraged by the fascist takeover of America by ICE, the de facto nazi police currently roaming our streets. I know I'm kind of preaching to the choir here, because no fucking Repuglican would visit this blog, but I also know the fucking purity tests Dems use to be selective in their outrage and support of Dem lawmakers.

Fuck that. There's seven Dems who voted to fund ICE:

Tom Suozzi (New York)

Henry Cuellar (Texas)

Don Davis (North Carolina)

Laura Gillen (New York)

Jared Golden (Maine)

Vicente Gonzalez (Texas)

Marie Glusenkamp Perez (Washington)

If you live in any of these states is your fucking duty to email them and rub these killings on their face. If you don't, this is the chance to pressure YOUR representatives to do something about the fascism taking place in our streets. Because we WILL be next.

XOXO

P.S. this is the email @Indivisible suggests you send:

Dear Senator,

I urge you to refuse to vote for any appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security that fails to rein in ICE and Border Patrol and protect our communities.

The killing of Renee Good on January 7 and the killing of Alex Pretti in Minnesota on January 24 are devastating examples of what happens when federal immigration enforcement operates without meaningful restrictions. Their deaths are a result of unchecked violence, impunity, and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies that put everyday people at risk. You cannot stand by while ICE and Border Patrol continue to harm communities across the country.

As a Member of Congress, you have the power to limit the administration's abuse of power by:

Refusing to vote for any FY2026 appropriations bill that includes increased funding for ICE or Border Patrol, including funds for detention. 

Refusing to vote for any appropriations bill for DHS unless it: 

Strengthens restrictions on ICE and Border Patrol’s ability to conduct dragnet arrest operations and target people based on their race, language or accent, place of employment, or location at the time of the apprehension;

Ends Border Patrol deployment to our cities and rejects its ever-expanding mandate in immigration enforcement; and

Limits DHS's reprogramming and transfer authority, including specifically preventing reprogramming and transferring funds for detention.  

Every Member of Congress must insist on real limits and accountability before any funding is approved. I hope to see you standing up for the safety, dignity, and rights of all people in our communities.

P.P.S. feel free to copy/post this in your blog, social media or wherever it is that you can reach people. This is a fucking emergency. And you or someone you know or love can be next.
