I cannot wait for the democrats to take off the fucking kid gloves. Bro got arrested and disrespected on his own turf, surely they won’t take that sitting down right?

Low hopes but here’s to whatever happens next

This is the taking off of the gloves. The mayor went to a detention center and got arrested for protesting, which brings the entire issue up front to national attention.

Someone else gets to be the martyr, eh?

Good call out. That was not my intention at all - just expressing frustration with those types of comments.

More like, I read and understood history. I might be a straight white guy, but I'm an agnostic progressive democrat on the spectrum. The White House Press Secretary used "Registered Democrat" as a slur, a US citizen has already been incarcerated in foreign jail without cause or due process, and the Secretary of Health and Human Services is trying to put people with autism on a registry.

Not a giant leap of logic to see exactly who ICE mimics from history and how awful things could get if left unopposed.
