ICE wants us all to be scared of resisting them. Don't fucking fall for it. It is everyone's duty to resist at all times.

She doesn't need to be scared because she's not doing anything wrong. She is exercising free speech, she is defending the constitution. We are not criminals. We are law abiding citizens, and we will abide by the laws and the constitution while we hold these contemptible unconstitutional criminals in the contempt they deserve. We don't need to be scared because we're not going to cower and hide from fascists, are we? If we do that, they're going to win. I don't want them to win. Do you? That's not defending your country. The right thing to do to fascists is to fight them.

ICE needs to be afraid. This is the right way for us to make them feel. They're the ones doing wrong things. We will make them afraid. We will not let them make us afraid. That is how you lose the fight. We need to fight like our lives depend on it. Because everyone's lives do in fact depend on it.

There’s resistance, and there’s opposing.
Resistance is exactly what Nazis craves.
It encourages their dominion to oppress on your rights. The disabled, the minors, the minorities, the LGBTQIA+ do not owe you any duties to perform Nazi victimizations. It had been time 23 years ago to utterly oppose them. Now it's the time to revolt.

She is exercising free speech,

that can only be properly granted if she is armed.

she is defending the constitution

By opposing tyranny directly.

We are not criminals.

In the eyes of the state, you were always treasonous.

We are law abiding citizens

Then you're a Nazi.

we hold these contemptible unconstitutional criminals in the contempt they deserve

Review point 4.

That’s not defending your country.

I do not share your Nationalism, imperial scum.

The right thing to do to fascists is to fight them.

This agree with.
Showing your enemy your headquarters, your habits, and your ID is surrender.

ICE needs to be afraid.

So does your bipartisan demagogy that created them. Otherwise you're demagogues to Nazis.

This is the right way for us to make them feel.

Feel what, fear? You think a leopard fears a photograph of when prey is about to be swallowed whole? What do you think imperials fear when they oppress Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Greenland, Afghan, Lebanon, Libya, etc.?

We need to fight like our lives depend on it.

Then fight without loose lips.

Because everyone’s lives do in fact depend on it.

Americans, or those your laws oppress?
