For most of the last decade, our media and political class has panicked over the idea that progressives were intruding on free speech rights by loudly criticizing people with unpopular views.

Anyway, here's far-right federal paramilitaries advertising that they'll rip down pro-immigrant messages.

  1. They left a dildo behind. In a neighborhood park. To replace a sign protesting anti-immigrant raids. Can you imagine? Wtf is wrong with these people?

  2. There's at least eight of them plus the camera person, that sign never stood a chance.

    Seriously though, it's clear that the oversized group of armored masked dudes, as a goon squad, is central to their aesthetic - and the aesthetic is the goal, or else they'd be fanning out to get something done.

  3. They will just put it back up! Free speech guaranteed by our constitution! That’s America! You’re making USA less free!

  4. So, you pay well and offer violence as work. Violence against the unarmed, the minorities, the vulnerable.

    And the sadists come in flocks and on fire.

  5. What were these ICE agents previously employed at? What jobs have they left behind ? Huge numbers seem to have been recruited from all over America and I wonder what industries now have gaping holes in their pool of employees? Or were they unemployed?

  6. They didn't panic bc they were mistaken or bc there was true danger of that. Media panicked as a way of pushing their anti-Left bias onto others--including the political class. It worked spectacularly well & helped Rght Wng authoritarians win elections, after which they did what authoritarians do.

  7. 👀That doesn't LOOK like the federal government agency tasked with immigration and customs enforcement.

    Why are they wearing masks? (You know why and so do I).

  8. Trump‘s got it backward as he does for most things he blames what the Republicans are doing on the Democrats. So when you see this understand, they hate you and they hate everything you stand for.

    It isn’t the Democrats hate them. We’re just puzzled how anybody could be so fucking stupid.

  9. I have to say it has been my experience and observation that it has been the opposite. It is the right that always does the screaming and fighting. What they equate to impeding their free speech is a progressive asking a question. They immediately get defensive and act like they're being attacked

  10. Caps on backwards, shades and gaiters, the official thug and dork uniform.

  11. Gosh, they're SOOOOOOO tough! Hairdressers, gardeners, elderly women, innocent children, and now: signs! I'm getting the vapors from so much masculinity! 🙃

  12. The self-righteousness of “we’re taking America back, baby” is sobering.

    The law has to prevail over sentiment or political opinion. Or else might makes right.

  13. I would like to say rude words to those ICE agents, attacking Americans is wrong, what you are doing is wrong. At some point there will be Nuremberg trials. Maybe they should be called “Dump Trials”? you now have forewarning, You will be held accountable, there are millions of us, bery few of you!

  14. Stop calling them ICE and call them who they really are....Proud Boys, Oathkeepers, 3%ers, other white nationalists. When we take back Congress in 26, the amount of hearings and arrests of these assholes will be all over MSM. MSM needs their red meat for the masses and that will be the next course.

  15. Only beta boys hide their faces. Alpha men believe in their cause. These incels are just weak followers if a losing cause.

  16. We need a national Take-Off-The-Mask campaign directed at law enforcement, police, ICE, DEA, military, etc. Get politicians involved. If you have to wear a mask, you probably shouldn't be doing this job.

  17. Such little twerps. And now Lump’s li’l buddy Stephen Hitler is declaring the erasure of graffiti as one of their key goals.

    Hope I’m reading this right: they’re aware that this is not turning out to be the awesome Blitzkrieg they’d planned, and they’re beginning to flail….

  18. ICE is a criminal organization. Not law enforcement. Masks, no badge numbers. No warrants. Criminals, plain and simple.

  19. Need to amend this with the fact that they also left a dildo in its place as a calling card. In case anyone was doubting that they know exactly what these morons are.

  20. That'd be "destruction of private property" and they posted video of themselves doing it.

    Charge the bastards. They charged the Proud Boys in DC, they can charge them in California.

  21. But also, what’s the legal basis for a federal law enforcement agency to physically rip down constitutionally protected free speech in a local park?

  22. The freeze peach thing was always BS. It was always about the freedom of privileged twits to spout nonsense and never have anyone else speaking out against them. The only people who can legitimately claim to have been cancelled are Colin Kaepernick & Steven Salaita.

  23. That same political class will write a singular piece or tweet and then say "see, we're taking this seriously also"

    Then go back to the countless podcasts and tweets about the "illiberal Left"

  24. These masked goons are lawless fascist thugs, on the fast track to becoming Latin American death squads. They're a disgrace, anti-American to their core. Dissolve their agency, put them on trial, and jail the ringleaders.

  25. And if you go back to that same spot now, 8 signs popped up to take it's place. I think these Chuds won't bring that up or go there again to pull them down again because it makes them look small and petty and powerless. the opposite of the big boy energy they are trying to project with this.

  26. God forbid the first amendment be allowed in the USA. But then again, these ice agents aren't beholding to the US Constitution.

  27. These pigs need to be identified, arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned for crimes against humanity right here in the US! Do not support these disgusting bullies.
